ServSwitch™ DKM

8.1.3 Macro Keyboard
Switching of the ServSwitch™ DKM can be performed very efficiently via an X-Keys
Macro Keyboard with 16 buttons available from the accessories.
To make use of the macros, the macro keyboard must be connected to one of the USB HID
Ports of the Remote Unit.
If you want to use keyboard, mouse and macros concurrently, you need
either an Extender-Kit with four USB HID Ports or a USB Hub!
Programming of the Macros is console-specific, requires Administrator rights and is
performed in the OSD (see page 61). Per macro key, up to eight commands can be stored,
which are executed sequentially.
For switching, you only have to press the respective key. The monitor will go dark for a short
period.
8.1.4 Macros via Function keys of a standard keyboard
Switching of the ServSwitch™ DKM can also be performed very efficiently via a standard
Keyboard and its Function keys <F1>, <F2>…<F12>.
Other than with the X-keys Macro Keyboard the standard keyboard will only offers twelve
different macros to be used.
To issue a macro command simply use the Instant Switching Hotkey ( default:
<CTRL>+<SHIFT>+<I> ) and the required Function key ( <Fxx> ).
Programming of the macros themselves is handled as described on page 61.
