User Guide
Using the SCOUTutp
Note: Before switching your computers on, please configure non PS/2 computers emulation type in the OSD! The SCOUTutp provides two possibilities to select the desired computer. You may use either the keyboard Hot Key commands or take advantage of the OSD (On-Screen-Display). You may notice that the mouse cannot be used for around 1 second when the SCOUTutp switches to another computer. This is normal and is caused by the synchronization process which ensures that the mouse operates correctly.

The following commands are supported: First Key Ctrl Second Key Ctrl Command Key Port number Confirmation Key Enter Command Result Switches to the desired PC
In Auto-Scan mode, the image shown on the monitor will automatically switch to the next computer. The delay is user definable
