You can determine how the OPTIONS port responds to channel control inputs.

Options port menu and then press either:

 

 to allow channel switching commands to be received via RS-232 serial signal through the OPTIONS port. The baud rate cur-

rently set by the   option will be used for the port. Switching commands via the four channel select inputs within the 
OPTIONS port connector are disabled in this mode. Use option   if you wish to enable the channel select inputs in addition to 
RS-232 control. 

 

 to allow channel switching commands to be received from the optional remote control. The baud rate set by the   option 

is ignored and the rate used by the remote control is automatically imposed. Switching commands via the four channel select 
inputs within the OPTIONS port connector are disabled in this mode.

4.2.5 Switching mode

Using the configuration menu, you can define a default switching mode. The switching mode determines which peripherals 
(KVM, USB1, USB2 and/or speakers) should be moved to the next computer when it is selected using any of the standard meth-
ods. Regardless of the default switching mode set here, during use you can always change the mode using either the MODE but-
ton (on the front panel) or using the additional hotkey press combinations.

Note: Of the external switching methods, the optional remote control and the RS-232 serial signal inputs will switch the peripher-
als as defined by the currently selected switching mode. However, switching control initiated by the channel select input lines will 
always switch all of the peripherals to the chosen channel regardless of the switching mode.
