Powering Off and Restarting
Powering off the KM0832 does not affect the computers attached to it. When
you restart the KM0832, you will regain control immediately. To replace a
KM0832, simply power it down, unplug the cables, plug them into the new
KVM switch, and power the new KVM switch on.
Note: If any of the computers behave strangely after powering off and
restarting, or changing a KVM switch, simply restart the computer.
Port Selection
Port selection is accomplished either by means of the KM0832's OSD or by
entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard. OSD operation is discussed
in detail in Chapter 5; hotkey port selection is discussed in Chapter 6.
Although hotkeys are handy for a single level installation, we strongly
recommend you use the more powerful and versatile OSD – especially for
cascaded and daisy-chained installations.
