2.3.2 Switching via mouse (panning)
When panning the mouse cursor beyond the border of the moni-
tor, you can switch from your console to monitors located hori-
zontally 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 horizon-
tally (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 mo-
nitor 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 soware 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 influence on the stability of the
system.
The function cannot be guaranteed when using wireless
keyboards and mice.

using a keyboard sequence as follows:
1. Open Command Mode with the ‚Hot Key‘ (2x <Right Shi>).
2. Enter the number of the specific source or monitor and confirm
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 specified source
or monitor.
When using the numeric keypad for switching, a
confirmation of the switching operation by using the
<Enter> key is not necessary.
