To select a computer by hotkey command, you need to know its port number,
which is determined by the KVM switch module connection. For a computer
connected to a master, its port is represented by the PC port label (1 – 8 or A
– H). For a computer connected to a slave, two characters represent its port.
The first character is the port number of the master unit (1 – 8); the second is
the port number of the slave (1 – 8 or A – H). Note that only a master’s PC-1
through PC-8 ports can be connected to a slave.
For example, pressing (left) Control/Control/7 selects a computer connected
to Port 7 of the master. Pressing (left) Control/Control/6/C selects a computer
connected to Port C of a slave connected to Port 6 of the master.
To start Auto Scan, which automatically scans active (powered-on) computers
one by one at a fixed interval, press (left) Control/Control/F1. When Auto Scan
detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends scanning until the activity
stops, then resumes with the next computer in the sequence. The length of the
Auto Scan interval (Scan Rate) is adjustable (as explained below). To abort Auto
Scan, press the left Control key twice. NOTE: Scan Type determines whether
N-marked computers are to be displayed during Auto Scan.
Manual Scan — (left) Control/Control/F2 — enables you to manually switch
between active computers. Press the up/down arrows to select the previous or
the next computer in sequence; press any other key to abort Manual Scan.
To adjust Scan Rate — (left) Control/Control/F3 — set the duration before
switching to the next computer in Auto Scan. The KVM switch module sounds
one to four beeps to indicate the scan interval: 3, 8, 15 or 30 seconds.
To adjust the keyboard typematic rate (characters/second), press (left) Control/
Control/F4. This setting overrides that of BIOS and other operating systems.
The KVM switch module generates one to four beeps corresponding to 10, 15,
20 and 30 characters/second, respectively.
Audio Stick — (left) Control/Control/F5 — is an optional multimedia module
that can be linked to the back of each KVM switch module for selecting
microphone and stereo speaker signals. There are two options for Audio Stick:
“On” and “Off.” When set to “On,” audio selection follows computer selection.
When set to “Off,” audio selection stops following computer selection. It’s useful
if you want to listen to a particular computer’s audio signal while operating other
computers. The KVM switch module generates one (on) or two (off) beeps.

Before connecting a device (a computer or a slave KVM switch module) to the
master KVM switch module under power, you must turn off the device.
