5.1.3.2 Using additional hotkey press combinations
In addition to the standard hotkey press combinations (shown left), you can also add additional keypresses in order to determine
which peripherals are switched:
1. Simultaneously press and hold CTRL and ALT.
2. Press and release a command key:
A to switch all peripherals
K to switch only the keyboard and mouse
S to switch only the speakers
U to switch only USB1 and USB2
3. Press and release the required channel number (1 to 4 using only the keys above the QWERTY section).
4. Release CTRL and ALT.
The appropriate peripherals will change to the chosen channel.
Note: Regardless of which peripherals were switched, the front panel indicators will continue to show the switching mode that
was last determined using the front panel controls.
5.1.4 Selecting a computer using the mouse buttons
Using the mouse buttons, you can quickly switch the keyboard, mouse, speakers and/or USB peripherals to any computer chan-
nel.

enabled.

1. Hold down the middle button (or scroll wheel) of the mouse.
2. Click the left mouse button to increment the channel number or click the right mouse button to decrement the channel. When
the correct channel is reached, release the middle button.
