Operation
The RKV-2DVI provides three convenient methods of selecting computers: Manual – click the pushbutton on the
Remote Port Selector; Mouse – click the mouse’s scroll wheel; and Hotkey – enter combinations from the keyboard.
Manual Port Selection
Press the port selection pushbutton on the Remote Port Selector to toggle the KVM and Audio focus between the
two computers. The Port LED lights to indicate that the computer attached to its corresponding port has the focus.
Note: Do not switch ports while a USB device is in operation. For independent USB switching, please see the USB
KVMP switches on our website.
Mouse Port Selection
Simply double-click the scroll wheel on your USB mouse to switch between ports. The mouse port-switching
function allows you to toggle back and forth between the ports.

2. The default setting is OFF.
3. This feature is only supported when mouse emulation is also enabled.
