Boundless Switching Configuration and Setup
After setting up the hardware you must configure the screen size and monitor
layout to allow Boundless Switching to work. Before using Boundless Switching,
please turn off mouse acceleration in the operating system. Boundless
Switching allows you to move the mouse cursor across the screen of one monitor
and onto another to switch the KM operations from one computer to the next.
Boundless Switching works by moving the mouse cursor off the screen up, down,
right, or left – thereby switching ports when the cursor is moved from one
screen to the next.
Screen Size
Set the screen size of each monitor so that the CS62KM knows when the mouse
cursor moves from one computer’s screen to the next.
- Use the button on the Remote Port Selector to select the port you want to set up.
- Invoke the hotkey mode by pressing [Num Lock] + [-].
- Press the [L] key.
- In the upper left corner of the display, click the left mouse button and hold it down while you move the cursor to the bottom right corner of the display, and then release.
- Repeat this procedure for the second monitor connected to the computer managed by the CS62KM.
Note: If the screen resolution changes, make sure to repeat the above configuration procedure (step 1 to 4) to reset the screen size.
Monitor Layout
Set the physical layout of the monitors so that the CS62KM knows which
computer to switch to when the mouse cursor moves off the screen up, down,
right, or left
. To set the layout, do the following:
- Invoke hotkey mode by pressing [Num Lock] + [-].
- Enter the monitor layout parameters using the following hotkeys (refer to the drawings shown above):
| Parameter | Row | Monitor |
|---|---|---|
| P | A | 1, 2 |
| B | 1, 2 |
Formula : Parameter + Row A + Monitor(s) or Parameter + Row A + Monitor +
Row B + Monitor.
Note : By entering the monitor layout parameters, you can move the mouse
cursor across any border (up, down, right, or left) to switch computers.
Operation
Apart from Boundless Switching, there are three more convenient methods to
switch between the computers: Manual – by pressing the button on the Remote
Port Selector; Mouse – by clicking the scroll wheel of the mouse; and Hotkey –
by entering combinations on the keyboard.
Hotkey Setting Mode (HSM)
Hotkey Setting Mode is used to set functions on the switch. Invoke HSM and
then press a key in the table below. Follow the steps below to invoke HSM and
perform a hotkey function.
- Press and hold down the [Num Lock] key.
- Press and release the [-] key.
- Release the [Num Lock] key.
- Press the hotkey to perform the desired function. Refer to the table below for the function.
HSM Summary Table
