Basic use of the KVM Combiner
The HSL KVM Combiner enables you to view and interact with up to 16
computers simultaneously. In HSL’s KVM Combiner, there is always an
active channel which the keyboard and mouse are linked to. You can
see the other channels but not interact with them.
User and Operator Mode
By default, the KVM boots to operator mode. This mode can be
identified by the appearance of a large system cursor:
In operator mode, mouse movement controls the Combiner mouse,
but keyboard strokes still go to the active channel.
To move to user mode, you can use the: “L Ctrl | L Ctrl | u” key
combination.To go back to operator mode the user can use the:
“L Ctrl | L Ctrl | o” key combination.
As an alternative to the keyboard hotkeys, you can press the mouse
wheel to switch between user and operator mode.
Operator mode enables you to select channels easily by using the left
mouse button and switching touser mode.
Channel Select
To select a channel, use the:
“L Ctrl | L Ctrl | 1-0 / F1-F6” key combination.For example, to select
channel 3, use the:
“L Ctrl | L Ctrl | 3” key combination.To select channel 13 (applicable in a
16-ports version only) use the:
“L Ctrl | L Ctrl | F3” key combination.
Once you select a channel, the keyboard is linked to that channel. This
enables you to send regular keyboard commands and key strokes to
the active computer.

Cursor Navigation
(Virtual Display Technology - VDT)
With cursor navigation, you can move from one highly isolated
computer system to another, by simply moving the cursor across
display borders. There is no need to push any buttons. The keyboard
follows the mouse as the cursor crosses display borders.
Safety Triger
In order to avoid uncontrolled switching and in compliance with
the NIAP protection Profile, it is necessary to press and hold the left
CTRL key when switching channel using VDT.
To enable cursor navigation, use the: “L Ctrl | L Ctrl | F11 | c” key
combination. (to disable, use: “L Ctrl | L Ctrl | F11 | b”).
Please note: When switching to and from cursor navigation, the mouse
may become unusable for a few seconds, on initial switching.
Once using cursor navigation, you can switch easily and quickly
between sources, with no need to push any buttons. The keyboard is
always switched with the mouse.

Toggling Options
Once you have connected all the sources and completed the initial
steps, you can start workingwith the Combiner. The next section
explains howto switch between operation modes and operatethe
Combiner, using its versatile view and control options.
