Operation
By default, the Remote Console allows you to access computers
connected to the Local Unit (via the KVM switch). Moreover, the
Remote Console offers access to computers connected to the
Remote Unit. For example, an additional computer or KVM switch
connected to the Remote Unit.
The CE-252R/L KVM Extender features the following two flexible
computer access methods: Hotkey Operation and Auto Scan
Mode.
Note: Before using the Remote Console, verify the Hardware
installation is complete. See “Hardware Installation” on
page 9. Hotkey operation and Auto Scan mode are only
available to Remote Console (Remote Unit) users.
Hotkey Operation
Hotkeys offer convenient switching between the Local and
Remote Units from the Remote Console.
To change the KVM focus between the Local and Remote Units
do the following:
1. From the Remote Unit, select CTRL + CTRL or SCROLL
LOCK + SCROLL LOCK (Hotkey selection slide switch,
see CE-252 Remote Front View, p. 7). This will set the
desired hotkey.
Note: When connecting an additional KVM switch to the
Remote Unit, make sure the selected hotkey is
different from the one being used to control the KVM.
2. At the Remote Unit console, press the selected hotkey twice.
This will change the KVM focus between the local and remote
PCs.
