USING YOUR SWITCH
Selecting a Computer Using Keyboard Hot Key Commands
To send commands to the Switch, the Scroll Lock (SL) key must be pressed twice within
about half a second (you will hear a beep for confirmation); then, input the key
sequence for the specific command (you will have approximately three seconds after
the beep to complete each hot key sequence). The hot key commands are listed below:
SL SL Up Arrow Switch to PREVIOUS computer in the OSD list box
SL SL Down Arrow Switch to NEXT computer in the OSD list box
SL SL XX YY Directly switches to BANK XX, PORT YY
(XX=00 to 15) (YY=01 to 08 for F1DE108C and F1DE208C)
SL SL Space bar Activate On-Screen Display
SL SL A Toggle AutoScan Mode on and off
Note: Other keys can be used to enter commands for keyboards without Scroll Lock
keys. For example, CTRL is the preferred method for Macintosh® computers, which often
map other functions to the Scroll Lock key. These settings can be changed in the
Options page of the OSD.
For hot keys (e.g. up and down arrows) and AutoScan, the order of progression from
one computer to the next is dictated by the order of the computers in the list box,
in the Main View of the OSD.
