KVM Switch Hot-key commands Hot-key command is a short keyboard sequence to select a computer, to activate computer scan, etc. StreamLine interprets keystrokes for hot-keys all the time. A hot-key sequence starts with two left keystrokes followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in buzzer generates a high-pitch beep for correct hot-key command; otherwise, one low-pitch beep for error and the bad key sequence will not be forwarded to the selected computer.

There are two options for Audio Stick : ON and Off. When set to 'On', audio selection follows computer selection. When set to 'Off', audio selection stops following computer selection. It is useful if you want to listen to a particular computer's audio signal while operating other computers.
