Once the CAT5 Extender is installed, the video will display at both
the local and remote consoles. However, only one console can have
control of the mouse and keyboard input at one time. The control is
determined automatically. To gain control, the active console must remain
idle for two seconds.
Note:
If your receiver is connected to both local and remote computers
(acting as a 2-port KVM switch), in order to switch between them, you must
use the hot-key Scroll Lock command. Please see the “Hot-Key Commands
Operation” section below:
Hot-Key Commands Operation for Receiver
To send commands to the CAT5 Extender, the hot key (Scroll Lock) must be
pressed twice within two seconds. You will hear a beep of confirmation.
If you have not pressed any key in hot-key mode within two seconds,
the keyboard will return to a normal state. The following example illustrates
using the hot-key Scroll Lock command to switch between local and
remote ports.
The table below lists all supported hot-key commands.
