Now that you have connected your console and servers to your SMB CAT5 KVM
Switch, it is ready for use. Select connected servers by either the direct-access
port selectors, located on the front panel of the SMB CAT5 KVM Switch, using
the On-Screen Display, or by using hot key commands through the console
keyboard. It takes approximately 1–2 seconds for the video signal to refresh
after switching servers. Re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signals
also occurs. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is
established between the console and the connected servers.
Selecting a Server or BANK Using
Hot Key Commands
Switch to the next or previous port with simple keyboard hot key sequences
using the “Scroll Lock” key and either the “Up” or “Down” arrow keys. To
send commands to the SMB CAT5 KVM Switch, the “Scroll Lock” key must
be pressed twice within two seconds. The SMB CAT5 KVM Switch will beep,
confirming that it is in hot key mode. . Next, press the “Up” arrow key and the
SMB CAT5 KVM Switch will switch to the next port. Press the “Down” arrow key
to switch to the previous port. (Refer to diagram below.)
With a single-switch configuration (no daisy-chained KVM switches), you can
switch directly to any port by entering the two-digit number of the port you wish
to access. For example, if you press “Scroll Lock”, “Scroll Lock”, “02”, the SMB
CAT5 KVM Switch will switch to the server on Port 2 located on BANK 00.
