Accessing computers by using a serial device

Another way to switch the channels is using a serial device that is connected to the
RS232 interface of the KVM switch.
A serial device can be a special keypad or a computer with an installed terminal
emulator.
The paragraph Switching to computers by using a serial device on page 20 provides more
information on this topic.

Permanent switching of USB 2.0 devices

In the default settings of the KVM switch, KVM data and the data of devices con-
nected to the »USB 2.0 Devices« interface are forwarded to the computer of the
active channel.
Enable USB pinning (see page 47) if you want to permanently switch the data of
devices connected to the »USB 2.0 Devices« interface to a defined channel. The per-
manent switching of these devices (see page 13) remains the same even when
switching the KVM channel.
