Relative Mode:
In Relative mode the movement of the mouse is confined to the borders of each computer’s display.
The user will then need to select which console to interact with by pressing the appropriate channel
selection button on the KM switch as with a traditional KVM.
Keyboard
The keyboard connected to the KM interacts with each computer individually and only interacts with
one computer at a time. A user can switch the interaction of the keyboard between computers either
by pressing the console buttons on the KM or by using the movement of the mouse in Absolute Mode to
invoke Cursor Based Switching.
Since mouse and keyboard data flow in a unidirectional data path, any keyboard indicators that require
acknowledgement from the computer will not be shown, including LEDs for Caps Lock, Num Lock, or
Scroll Lock. For example, when a user presses the Caps Lock key the command will reach the computer
and activate all keys as caps, but the computer will not be able to acknowledge the change back to the
keyboard to then enable the key’s LED indicator.
