4.2.5 Switching mode
Using the configuration menu, you can define a default switching mode. The switching mode determines which peripherals
(KVM, USB1, USB2 and/or speakers) should be moved to the next computer when it is selected using any of the standard meth-
ods. Regardless of the default switching mode set here, during use you can always change the mode using either the MODE but-
ton (on the front panel) or using the additional hotkey press combinations.
Note: Of the external switching methods, the optional remote control and the RS-232 serial signal inputs will switch the peripher-
als as defined by the currently selected switching mode. However, switching control initiated by the channel select input lines will
always switch all of the peripherals to the chosen channel regardless of the switching mode.
