SELECTING A COMPUTER
There are six ways to switch the common peripherals to specic computer channels:
• Using the innovative Free-Flow automatic switching utility
Þ
• Using the control panel
Ü
• Using hotkeys
• Using mouse button presses
• Remote control via an external system
• Using the optional RC4 remote control
Selecting a computer using the control panel
The control panel allows you to determine how the various peripherals are switched to
one or more computer channels.
1 Optional: If you need to selectively switch some of your peripherals, press the MODE
button repeatedly to change the switching mode:

Will switch all peripherals together
Will switch keyboard, mouse and speakers
Will switch only the keyboard and mouse
Will switch only the speakers
Will switch only USB peripheral 1

 Notes:
• If an indicator ashes, it signies that the respective peripheral is currently switched to
another computer channel.
• The peripherals to be switched using the Free-Flow method are set independently.
2 Press the COMPUTER button repeatedly to select the required computer channel.
Selecting a computer using the Free-Flow utility
Once congured, Free-Flow allows you to change channels merely by moving the mouse
to edge of one screen towards the next screen. As the mouse pointer reaches the edge
it will cause the channel to automatically change and will jump to the next screen.
Notes:
• Free-Flow cannot be enabled until a layout has been congured and downloaded to the CCS-
PRO4 switch - see Free-Flow conguration.
• The mouse will not ow across the screens while any mouse buttons are pressed down - this
prevents undesired behaviour when dragging windows around or group-selecting items.
• You can determine which peripherals will be switched by Free-Flow independently of those
that would be switched with any other method. See Switch Mode within the Switch...
settings section.
• You can continue to use any of the other channel switching methods while Free-Flow is
enabled.
The four upper indicators on the CCS-PRO4 display panel will scroll across every few
seconds to show that Free-Flow is enabled. See What is Free-Flow? for an introduction
to the utility or Free-Flow conguration for more details about how to prepare it for
operation.
You can temporarily disable (and re-enable) Free-Flow using hotkey presses:
• Simultaneously press and hold and , then press
