Basic Operation
Port Selection
KH2508A / KH2516A installations provide three methods to obtain instant
access to any computer on your installation: Manual, OSD (on-screen display),
and Hotkey.
Manual
Manual port selection simply involves pressing the port selection switch that
corresponds to the device you wish to access.
Note: Before making your port selection, first make your console selection by
pressing the appropriate console selection button.
OSD
The OSD provides a menu driven interface to the computer switching
procedure. OSD operation is discussed in the next chapter.
Hotkey
Hotkeys allow you to conveniently provide KVM focus to a particular
computer from the keyboard instead of having to manually select them by
pressing port selection switches, or accessing the OSD. Keyboard operation is
discussed in Chapter 5.
