Overview
The CS-64APetite KVM Switch is a control unit that allows
access to four computers from a single console (keyboard,
monitor, and mouse). Before the development of the CS-64A,
the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a
single console was through a complex and costly network
system. Now, with a CS-64APetite KVM Switch installation, you
can easily access four computers in a cost effective manner.
The CS-64Aimproves on previous models with a 50% smaller
footprint and attached custom KVM cables. The result is a neat
and tidy workspace and trouble-free installation.
Recognizing the increased importance of sound, the CS-64Ais
speaker enabled. You can listen to the audio output of all the
computers (one at a time) on a single set of speakers.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate
ports is all that is entailed. Simple Hotkey combinations control
which computer has the KVM focus.
There is no software to configure, no installation routines, and
no incompatibility problems. Since the CS-64Aintercepts
keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and
with all operating systems.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a
CS-64Ainstallation. By allowing a single console to manage all
of the computers, the CS-64Aeliminates the expense of
purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each.
Additionally, it saves the extra space they would take up, and
eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in
constantly having to move from one computer to the other.

Operation
Accessing all of your computers from a single console could not
be easier. The CS-64Auses Hotkey combinations to give the
KVM focus to the computer of your choice. The CS-64A
provides the following Hotkey features:
MSelecting the Active Port
MAuto Scan Mode
MSkip Mode
Invoking Hotkey Mode
All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey Mode. Invoking
Hotkey Mode takes three steps:
1. Press and hold down the Num Lock key
2. While [Num Lock] is down, press and release the asterisk
key or the minus key
3. Release the Num Lock key:
[Num Lock] + [*];
or:
[Num Lock] + [-];
Note: The asterisk or minus key must be released within one
half second, otherwise Hotkey invocation is canceled.
When Hotkey Mode is active:
MThe keyboard Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in
succession. They stop flashing and revert to normal status
when you exit Hotkey Mode.
MOrdinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended -
only Hotkey compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks
(described in the sections that follow), can be input.
MPressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] exits Hotkey Mode.

Selecting the Active Port
Each CPU port is assigned a numeric Port ID (1 - 4). You can
give the KVM focus directly to any computer on the installation
with a Hotkey combination that specifies the ID of the port it is
attached to. The steps involved are:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 7)
2. Press and release the appropriate Port ID number (1, 2, 3,
or 4)
After you press the number, the KVM focus switches to the
designated computer and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.
Auto Scan Mode
The CS-64A’s Auto Scan feature automatically cycles through
the four ports at regular 5 second intervals. This allows you to
monitor the computer activity without having to take the trouble
of switching from port to port manually. To start Auto Scan
Mode:
1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 7)
2. Press and release [A]
Once scanning begins, it continues until you press [Esc] or
[Spacebar] to exit Auto Scan Mode. The Port that is active at
the time scanning stops remains active.
Note: 1. Auto Scan only scans ports that are powered on. It
passes over any powered off ports.
2. While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard
and mouse functions are suspended. You must exit
Auto Scan Mode by pressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] in
order to regain normal control of their use.
3. Pressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] exits both Auto Scan
Mode and Hotkey Mode.
