Using your Switch
Selecting a Computer Using Port Selectors
Now that you have connected your console and computers to the Switch, it is
ready for use. You can select which computer you wish to control by pressing
the corresponding port selector on the front of the Switch. The LED will
illuminate to indicate which computer (or port) is currently selected. It takes
approximately 1–2 seconds for the video signal to refresh after switching
computers. 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 computers.**
Once you press a port selector, the Switch immediately disables the connection
between your console and the previously selected computer, and establishes a
new connection between your console and the new computer selected. Keyboard
and mouse inputs can only be sent to the selected computer, and video outputs
can only be received from the selected computer. The Switch also prevents
any data transfer between connected computers, ensuring the security of your
classified computers.
Only one port (or computer) can be selected at any point in time. In the event
that two or more port selectors are pressed simultaneously, the Switch will not
switch ports.
**Note: It may take longer for your mouse and keyboard to re-synchronize
when the computer is recovering (or initializing) from Standby, Hibernate, or
Sleep modes.
