Basic Operation
Manual Switching
There are two convenient methods to access the computers: Manual – which
involves pressing the port selection pushbuttons located on the unit’s front
panel; and Hotkey – which involves entering combinations from the keyboard.
Hotkey port selection is discussed in the next chapter.
For manual port selection:
Press and release a port selection pushbutton to bring the KVM focus to
the computer attached to its corresponding port. The USB and Audio focus
do not change – they stay with the port that they are already on.
Press a port selection pushbutton twice to bring the audio focus to the
computer attached to its corresponding port.
Press and hold a port selection pushbutton for more than 2 seconds to
bring the KVM focus plus the USB and Audio focus to the computer
attached to its corresponding port.
Press and hold port selection pushbuttons 1 and 2 for more than 2 seconds
to start Auto Scan Mode, see page 13 for details.
Note: Press and release either port selection pushbutton to stop Auto Scan
Mode. The KVM focus goes to the computer attached to the
corresponding port of the pushbutton you pressed.
Hot Plugging
The CS1782 supports USB hot plugging – components can be removed and
added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the USB hub
ports without the need to shut the unit down.
