Operating the Product 

Self-Test Procedure:  

As product powers-up it performs a self-test procedure. In case of 
self- test failure for any reason, including jammed buttons, the 
product will be Inoperable. Self-test failure will be indicated by the 
following abnormal LED behavior:  

 

All 

channel-select LEDs will be turned 

ON and then OFF; 

 

A specific, predefined LED combination will be turned ON;  

 

The predefined LED combination will indicate the problem 
type (jammed buttons, firmware integrity). 

 
Try to power cycle product. If problem persists please contact your 
system administrator or technical support. 
 
Now that product, computers and peripherals are connected and 
powered up, it is ready for use.  

 
Default Channel 

 

After product boots up, the default active channel will be channel 
#1. This will be indicated by white color illumination of  
push-button #1.  

 
Product Mapping to Sources 

 

Product mapping to sources is indicated by stickers/labels specifying 
which channel is mapped to which computer. 

Front Panel Push-Buttons 

Following power up, the default channel is #1.  

The  user  can  select  any other  channel  by  pressing  the  appropriate 
front panel push button.  

The  mouse  cursor  will  be  positioned  at  the  center  of  the  selected 
computer display. If computer is connected to multiple displays, the 
cursor will be positioned at the center of the primary display. 

The  currently  selected  channel  is  indicated  by  white  color 
illumination of the appropriate push-button.  

Once  a different channel is selected  -  keyboard, mouse,  audio  and 
fUSB  functions  follow  selected  channel,  unless  Freeze  fUSB/Freeze 
Audio functions have been activated (see below for details).  

Cursor Tracking ("VDT-Enabled") 

Following power up the cursor will be positioned at the center of the 
primary display of computer #1. Keyboard and audio will be coupled 
to the same PC where the cursor is.  

When VDT is enabled - once the user moves the mouse cursor across 
display borders to another display connected to a different computer 
- keyboard, audio and fUSB functions will follow.  

"Prevent transition while dragging" feature 

An enabled "Prevent transition while dragging" feature means that if 
user drags an object on display #1 while holding left mouse key, the 
cursor will remain in display #1 even if mouse cursor crosses display 
borders. The purpose of this feature is to prevent unintentional loss 
of dragging action due to accidental crossing of display borders.  

This feature is enabled by default and controlled via KM setup.  

Cursor Acceleration and Speed 

Cursor speed and acceleration are a result of several factors such as 
display  size,  resolution  and  additional  settings.  If  current  cursor 
acceleration and speed are not consistent or comfortable for use – 
please contact your system administrator for assistance.
