ii. Server switching method using the OSD screen
1: Selection by using the cursor key
- Use <↑>, <↓>, <←>, and <→> to select the ports by moving the character string
(displayed in purple) up, down, right, and left.
- Press <ENTER> to set the selection and end MODE-1 of the Hotkey mode. After
switching, the server name is displayed on the upper left of the screen in
approximately three seconds.
(The selection can also be set by pressing the central button of the mouse or by
pressing the left and right buttons at the same time.)
- Press <ESC> to cancel the selection and end the Hotkey mode.
(The selection can also be canceled by pressing < Ctrl> + <Alt> + <Shift> at the
same time)
2: Direct selection using the numeric/function keys
- <1> to <8> is used for each port number of the master side and <F1> to <F8> is
used for each port number on the slave side.
- When any numbers from <1> to <8> are pressed, a master side port is selected.
- When any characters from <F1> to <F8> are pressed, a slave side port is selected.
*Note. When ports that are not used in a cascade connection are selected, the
ports are set and the Hotkey mode ends. When ports that are used in a
cascade connection are selected, the ports are not set and the KVM Switch
waits for the selection input of the ports on the slave side.
Example 1: When port 1 of the master is not connected to a slave, the port is set
by pressing <1>.
Example 2: When port 1 of the master is connected to a slave, the port is not set
by pressing <1>. The port is set by pressing one of the characters
from <F1> to <F8>.
*Note. From <F1> to <F8> can also be operated by pressing <F> + <1> to <F> +
<8>.
*Note. For a 16 port type, from <1> to <9> is supported for each port number. On
the slave side, from <F1> to <F12> is supported for each port number.
For ten or more ports, ports can be selected by using key combinations.
Example 1: When selecting port 16
<1> + <6>
Example 2: When selecting port 16 on the slave side
<F> + <1> + <6>
