2.3.1. Switching via mouse (panning)
When panning the mouse cursor beyond the border of the monitor,
you can switch from your console to monitors located horizontally
or vertically.
Monitors that are only arranged horizontally or vertically (e. g. 4x1,
8x1, 1x4, 1x8) have to be operated with the one-dimensional Multi-
Screen mode. Monitors that are arranged vertically and horizontally
(e. g. 2x2, 4x2) have to be operated with the two-dimensional Multi-
Screen mode.
1. Activate the switching via mouse by executing the
following keyboard sequences:
■One-dimensional mode (horizontal):
‚Hot Key‘, <x>, <1>, <Enter>
■Two-dimensional mode:
‚Hot Key‘, <x>, <2>, <Enter>
■One-dimensional mode (vertical):
‚Hot Key‘, <x>, <3>, <Enter>
2. Move the mouse pointer beyond the border of the
monitor to the vertically or horizontally located
monitor.
Switching to the new monitor will occur instantly.
3. Deactivate the switching via mouse by executing the
following keyboard sequence:
‚Hot Key‘, <x>, <0>, <Enter>
Additional software for calibration and positioning of the
adjacent horizontal or vertical monitor.
When using sources (computers, CPUs) in multi-head
operation (e. g. dual-head), the switching is only working
manually via keyboard commands. Any non-observance
may have a negative inuence on the stability of the system.
The function cannot be guaranteed when using wireless
keyboards and mice.
2.3. Operation
2.3.1. Switching via keyboard
From your console, you can switch between different monitors
using a keyboard sequence as follows:
1. Open Command Mode with the ‚Hot Key‘ (2x <Right Shift>).
2. Enter the number of the specic source or monitor and con-
rm with the <Enter> key.
Command Mode will close and the keyboard LEDs will
return to their previous status.
Keyboard and mouse are connected to the specied source
or monitor.
When using the numeric keypad for switching, a conrmation
of the switching operation by using the <Enter> key is not
necessary.

1. System Setup
First time users are recommended to carry out a test placement
by setting up the system in a single room. This will allow you to
identify and solve any cabling problems, and experiment with your
system more conveniently.
1. Switch off all devices.
2. Connect the USB cables to the CPUs (CON Units) and to
the U-Switch
3. Connect mouse and keyboard to the U-Switch
4. Connect the 5VDC power supply with the U-Switch
5. Power up the system. When powering the U-Switch, a
boot process will be enabled. The duration depends from
the size of the U-Switch (4 port version: ca. 30 sec, 8 port
version: ca. 50 sec).
6. Only after completion of the boot process, the U-Switch
can be used and keyboard and mouse will be enabled.
