User-definable hotkeys for Direct Port selection:
Except those control keys such as Alt, Ctrl, Shift, CAPS, Tab, Esc and the functions keys and edit keys, all other keys on the keyboard, including the number keys on the number pad, can all be used as hotkey command keys.
To use the user-definable hotkeys, you MUST load the KVM switcher software.
Fix Audio to Port x Check this option and then select the PC to fix the audio/mic channel to the selected port. Once this option is checked, the audio/mic channel will be fixed and become non-switchable.
Hotkey sequence = Ctrl - Alt - [command key]* * The factory default hotkey setting is Ctrl + Alt + 1,2,3 or 4 for direct selection of PC number 1, 2, 3or 4. Note that these 3 keys should be pressed and held together. Upon release of all three keys, the switching action will be executed. Both the universal hotkey, ScrLk + ScrLk and the user-definable hotkey, Ctrl - Alt - [command key] WILL NOT allow you to switch to an empty port not connected to any computer. To force your KVM to switch to an empty port, just press the QuickSwitch Button. Each keystroke within a hotkey sequence should be pressed within two seconds, otherwise the hotkey sequence will not be validated. After port switching, you have to wait till the KVM Switcher icon shows forth the target port before you can perform next switching again. All the hotkeys are only functional after your PCs have booted into the OS. If you want to switch PC in the BIOS/pre-boot stage, press the face-panel button to switch.
Optional KVM Switcher Software Reference Switch to PC x via Menu Right-click the KVM Switcher icon to evoke the operation menu, then select whichever PC that is available for switching. Once you select a PC channel, it will immediately switch to that PC. Note that the unconnected port(s) or the active port will be grayed-out and hence non-selectable.

Configuration Dialog Box
Start Auto-Scan Right-click the KVM Switcher icon to evoke the operation menu, then select Start Auto-Scan to activate Auto-Scanning.
Auto Scan Period Select the Auto-Scan period from 10 ~ 60 seconds with an increment of 5 seconds. The Auto-Scan period is the time the KVM Switch will wait before switching to next PC.
Stop Auto-Scan (While Auto-Scanning) you can press any button on the facepanel to stop Auto-Scan. Note that, while Auto-Scanning, the keyboard and mouse will be locked temporarily, and can only later resume its function when they are recognized again by the active computer, several seconds after AutoScanning has stopped. Therefore, it is advisable that you wait for several seconds before operating the KVM switch again. Any USB devices, including mouse and keyboard, will need to take some seconds for resuming lost connection with a computer.
KVM Switcher Settings/Preferences Right-click the KVM Switcher icon and select Settings/Preferences or double-click the icon to bring up the configuration dialog box. Define Hotkey Commands Hotkey Sequence = CTRL - ALT - [command key]* You can modify the command key here by typing it in. Eg. To specify the hotkey for switching to PC 1 as “CTRL - ALT – A”, type the letter “A” (not case-sensitive) in the editable field. Please note that if you intend to modify the command key, you have to modify them on both connected computers, since the hotkey setting is stored within each connected computer.
