Simply press a desired button to switch to its corresponding KVM PC port (Note: The USB hub port and Audio/ Mic. port can be set as going along or not going along with the KVM PC port switching, depending on if they are bound with the PC port switching). By default, PC port switching, USB hub port and Audio/ Mic. port switching are bound together.

2. Keyboard Hotkeys
   Each keyboard hotkey consists of at least three keystrokes: See the Hotkey Reference Sheet as shown on the next page. Keyboard Hotkey = [ScrLk], [ScrLk], Command key(s) Two consecutive [ScrLk] keystrokes constitute a hotkey preceding sequence which is user-deffnable and can be substituted by [Caps Lock], [Esc], [F12], or [Num Lock] keys. For users who want to use a difierent hotkey preceding sequence other than two consecutive [ScrLk] keystrokes, following are steps to configure it.

(1) Hit [ScrLk], [ScrLk], [H], then two beeps will signal readiness for setting a new hotkey preceding sequence. Alternatively, you may also press and hold down the far right front-panel button (Button 2 for AP-532P/Button 4 for AP-534P) till you hear two beeps, then release it.
(2) Next, hit a desired key from the above user-deffnable keys and you’ll hear a beep for the change confirmation. Now you can use your new hotkey preceding sequence to execute your hotkey operations.

Note 1: Each interval between two individual keystrokes should be less than 2 seconds. Otherwise, the hotkey input will be deemed as an invalid one. See the following examples.

Note 2 : Following figures a and b illustrate different display outcomes when performing port-switching. Users may determine a preferred H.P.D. state for each ports according to their application needs.
