KVM Switch Help.

BoomAM · 21 Feb 2007 at 15:14

Hi.
Ive just hooked up a spare KVM switch that ive found in my IT Room here. But for the life of me, i cannot work out how to flick between computers. Its a switchless model, so i asume that it uses a keyboard command.

Ideas as to what the command might be?

Thanks in advance all.

Scroll lock then number of screen

ie scroll lock twice then 1 / 2 /3 /4

BoomAM · 21 Feb 2007 at 15:20

Already tryed that.
Tryed scroll lock twice, three and four times.

Any other ideas? Ive tryed googling the KVM but all i can find is a data sheet.

Nope.

Scroll lock twice in 2 seconds then arrow up/down.
Scroll lock and page up/down.
Page up/down.
Num Lock arrow up/down.
Num lock page up/down.

None of them work either.
Tryed num, scroll, pause, print & up&down/numbers/page up&down and any combination of those i can think of.

Any other ideas?

Try:

Code:

shift-shift-number

and

Code:

shift-shift-up
shift-shift-down

EDIT: If it is that, it'll be the left shift key

Nope.

Cool. Thanks.

At least we know from that, that it involves the 'CTRL' key. So i'll try a few combos in the morning.

I thought I'd be a smart*** and find the answer on google but it didn't work.

The ones we use at work use Ctrl + number or pressing control brings up a OSD.

Two wacks of the right CTRL key switches between computers.

Thanks everyone.

glad its as easy as 2 taps mate

but for me that would be a bugger, keep on switching screen by accident
