ORION LC Installation and Operations Manual

Keyboard switching commands can be sent to either the master unit or a

cascaded secondary unit. The <M> command selects the master unit and

all commands are sent to the master. The <S> command selects the

secondary cascaded unit and all commands are sent to the secondary unit.

Example: Enter the command mode <Ctrl> + <Shift> + <I>

Select the master unit port, then the secondary unit port <M2S5>

This command switches the master unit to port 2 and the

secondary unit to port 5. The KVM station will now have control of

the computer connected to the secondary unit’s CPU port #5.

Keyboard Commands

First enter the command mode (default - <Ctrl> + <Shift> + <I> (or user

assigned hotkey sequence) then enter the commands.

Note: In a cascaded system, once a level has been selected (Master or

Secondary), all keyboard commands that follow are issued to that

level. If you issue the command <M2S3> all following commands are

sent to the Secondary unit connected to the Master’s port #2.
