1. If not in the Switch menu of the OSD, start Command Mode with the 'Hot Key'.
2. Press <o> to open the OSD. This shows a list of all available CPUs as a start menu.
3. Select Local CPU in the list and switch to it. The switching operation to the local source will be
performed immediately.
Note: The local source (computer, CPU) will only be shown in the OSD if the CON Unit includes the option
for a local connection.
As an alternative, the following keyboard commands are available to switch to the local source:
Function Keyboard Command
Switching to extender connection <'Hot Key'>, <k>, <1>, <Enter>
Switching to extender connection 2 (only with redundant CON
Units)
<'Hot Key'>, <k>, <2>, <Enter>
Switching to the local source (computer, CPU) <'Hot Key'>, <l>, <Enter>
Multi-Screen Control
The Multi-Screen function allows a Con Device with several assigned monitors to switch keyboard and
mouse between several CPU sources by either moving the mouse pointer beyond the edge of the current
monitor, or by keyboard command. Configuring Con Devices for Multi-screen control is described in the
Configuration section, Console Device Settings.
Switching through the mouse
Switching the USB-HID devices can be done by moving the mouse pointer beyond the edge of the current
display. In order to perform a switching operation by moving the mouse, proceed as follows.
1. Move the mouse pointer to the vertical or horizontal edge of the display that borders a neighboring
display in the Con Device.
2. Move the mouse pointer beyond the edge of the display. USB HID switching will occur to the CPU
displayed on the neighboring monitor. The mouse pointer will appear on the adjacent display, and
any other console USB-HID devices (e.g. keyboard) will also be available at the CPU device
displayed on that monitor.
Switching through the keyboard
Switching the USB-HID devices can also be done using the keyboard. In order to perform a switching
operation via keyboard command, proceed as follows.
1. Start Command Mode with the 'Hot Key'.
2. Select the target display by pressing the appropriate key on the numeric pad of the keyboard.
The switching operation will be performed and the USB-HID devices will be available at the CPU
connected to the target display.
The keyboard commands to switch to each display’s CPU connection are given the table below.
