The detection between each hotkey code times out for 5 seconds. For example, if the Scroll Lock button is pressed for the first time, and then the Scroll Lock button is pressed after more than 5 seconds, the hotkey combination is invalid;
- “N” here indicates the number of the PC. For example, to switch to PC2, the hotkey combination is “Scroll Lock ++ Scroll Lock + 2”;

Press (except the space bar) any key to exit to the port before the automatic switching, press the space bar to stay at the currently switched port. When switching automatically, the “Select” LED flashes at the same time.
- “N” here indicates the number of switching interval which can be 5(seconds) to 999 (seconds);
