3.1 Application
The CPU Switch is used to convert and extend video signals of one or
more VGA sources (computer, CPU) into the DVI-D format. The device
functions like a CPU Unit of a KVM extender.
The CPU Switch can be used as a switch between concurrently available
input signals.
Next to the video signal, USB-HID and analogue audio signals can be also
switched and extended.
The CPU Switch can further be used as a scaler, scaling video signals to
a specific output format.

5.1 Command Mode
The CPU Switch has a Command Mode that allows several functions via
keyboard command during normal use.
To enter Command Mode use a 'Hot Key' sequence and to exit Command
Mode, press <Esc>. While in Command Mode, the LEDs Shift and Scroll
on the console keyboard will flash.
In Command Mode normal keyboard and mouse operation will cease.
Only selected keyboard commands are available.
If no keyboard command is executed within 10 s after activating
Command Mode, it will be automatically deactivated.
The following table lists the keyboard commands to enter and to exit
Command Mode and to change the 'Hot Key' sequence:
Function
Keyboard Command

Until 2011-30-09:
<Left Ctrl> + <Left Shift> + <c>,
<'Hot Key' Code>, <Enter>
<Key> + <Key> Press keys simultaneously
<Key>, <Key> Press keys successively
2x <Key> Press key quickly, twice in a row
(similar to a mouse double-click)

2x <Right Alt>
In a KVM switch configuration, choose different 'Hot Keys' for the
KVM Extender and the Draco CPU Switch.
Set freely selectable 'Hot Key' (exemplary)
In order to set a freely selectable 'Hot Key' (e.g. 2x <Space>), use the
following keyboard sequence:
<current 'Hot Key'>, <c>, <0>, <Space>, <Enter>
Reset 'Hot Key'
In order to set a 'Hot Key' back to default settings of the extender, press
the key combination <Right Shift> + <Del> within 5 s after switching on the
CON unit or plugging in a keyboard.

5.2 Control via Keyboard
The CPU Switch connected to a KVM extender KVM extender CON Unit
offers the possibility for control via keyboard.
For this purpose the CPU Switch is equipped with its own Command
Mode that can be used to activate various functions by keyboard
commands and to control the integrated On-screen Display (OSD).
The Command Mode is entered by a keyboard sequence ('Hot Key') and
can be closed using the key <Esc>. When Command Mode is activated,
the keyboard LEDs Shift and Scroll are flashing.
