Operation; Keyboard Hot Keys - Tripp-Lite B004-VUA2-K-R Manual Del Propietário

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 fixed a specific 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-definable hot keys for PC selection:
Hot key sequence = Ctrl - Alt - [command key]*
* Please refer to the next section for keys that are qualified to be used as a command key.
Note: 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.
Universal hot key for switching to next port:
Universal hot key sequence = ScrLk + ScrLk
• For other operating systems on PCs such as Linux, you can still use this special hot key to facilitate
PC switching. This special hot key is not available for Mac.
• Both the universal hot key, ScrLk + ScrLk and the user-definable hot key, Ctrl - Alt - [command key]
WILL NOT allow you to switch to an empty port that is not connected with any computer. To force
your KVM to switch to an empty port, just press the manual push-button to switch.
• Each keystroke within a hot key sequence should be pressed within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the hot
key sequence will not be validated.
• After port switching, you have to wait until the KVM Switching icon shows the target port before you
can perform the next switch.
• All the hot keys are functional only after your PCs are booting into the OS. If you want to switch PC
in the BIOS/pre-boot stage, press the face-panel button to switch.
KVM Switcher Software (for Windows and Mac)
In addition to PC switching, the KVM Switcher Software also allows you more advanced
functions such as described in the next section.
