Introduction
The B004-VUA2-K-R is a 2-port Compact USB KVM Switch with optional audio and
microphone switching function. It allows you to access, control, boot and reboot multiple
USB-enabled PCs. The independent audio/mic switching function allows an uninterrupted
audio signal from either PC even when you switch to the other PC.

Operation
There are three methods to control your KVM Switch for PC and Audio/Mic channel
selection: using (1) the face-panel push buttons, (2) the hot key sequences, or (3) the KVM
Switching Software.
Manual Push-Buttons
The manual push-buttons on the unit allow you direct control over KVM switching
operation. Simply press the button to switch to the corresponding PC port (and audio/mic
channel, if binding is enabled). By default, PC port switching and audio/mic port switching
are bound together, unless you specify the audio to be fi xed a specifi c port.
• You can use the face-panel button to switch to an empty port that is not connected with any computer. If
you use keyboard hotkeys or the KVM Switcher software, you will not be able to switch to an empty port.
Keyboard Hot Keys
User-defi nable hot keys for PC selection:
Hot key sequence = Ctrl - Alt - [command key]*
* Please refer to the next section for keys that are qualifi ed to be used as a command key.
• Note that these 3 keys should be pressed and held together. And it is upon the release of all three keys that
the switching action will be executed.
