INTRODUCTION
This 2-Port USB and HDMI® KVM Switch allows you to use a single HDMI
monitor, USB keyboard, USB mouse, microphone, and headset/speakers
with two desktop or laptop computers. You can easily switch computers
using the built-in Port Selector, keyboard hotkeys, or with a simple
double-click of the mouse wheel. It supports HDMI video resolutions up
to 1900x1200 and is compatible with Windows®, Mac®, Linux®, UNIX®,
Novell® NetWare®, and DOS PCs. It features Video DynaSync™
technology, which eliminates boot-up display problems and optimizes
the video resolution when switching ports. The KVM and audio focus can
be separated, so one computer can have the KVM focus and the other
the audio focus. If one of the connected computers is powered off, the
switch will automatically select the other computer.

OPERATION
This KVM switch supports three different methods of switching the
selected computer, which are detailed in the following sections.
Important Note: Do not switch focus when a USB peripheral, other than
the keyboard and mouse, is in active operation. Doing so could result in
data loss and/or file corruption.
Manual Switching
Momentarily press the button on the Remote Port Selector to manually
switch the KVM and audio focus from one computer to the other.
Mouse Switching
Double-click the mouse wheel button to swap the KVM and audio focus
from one computer to the other.
Notes:
1. This method is only supported by USB 3-button mice with a scroll
wheel.
2. The function is not available by default. It must be enabled by first
enabling Mouse Emulation with the hotkey command ([m] [Enter]),
then turning on the Scroll Wheel Switching function ([w] [Enter]).
Hotkey Switching
The hotkey method of switching offers the most flexibility in that you can
independently switch the KVM and audio focus. All hotkey commands
are prefaced with the Hotkey Prefix, which by default is two presses of
the [Scroll Lock] key. To swap the KVM and audio focus from one
computer to the other, type:
