The hot-plug port (K4u+ front panel) lets you connect a USB peripheral such as a printer, camera, or memory stick to an attached computer. The K4u+ provides a transparent connection through to the attached computer. This connection can be fixed to a specific computer or switched by the user between computers. When a device is connected to the hot-plug port, the

mouse remain switched to a single computer for long periods, other attached computers are left idle causing their screen savers to activate so vital data is no longer visible. SaverSync prevents this problem by ensuring screen savers on attached computers only activate when keyboard and mouse activity on all channels through the K4u+ stops for a given period. The K4u+ is available with hardware supporting common smart cards and associated USB readers. The K4u+ manages the card reader connection to the attached computers, simplifying the login process. Contact Amulet Hotkey Sales for details. This device plugs into the K4u+ and provides a simple alternative method of changing channels. It has a simple illuminated switch for each channel and is small enough to sit on or near the keyboard. Available as an
