Amulet Hotkey K4u
+
Manual
B5: Focus or Sharing Indicator Selection
Factory default: B5=OFF
The K4u
+
can be fitted with two types of optional indicator.
These are fixed in position near the users’ monitors. The
choice of indicator depends on user preference and
operating mode.
● Focus Indicators give a visual indication of which channel
has the keyboard and mouse focus.
● Sharing Indicators show the current status of the shared
channel, regardless of the keyboard and mouse focus.
Contact your local Amulet Hotkey sales team for more
information about sharing indicators. See item 6 in section 2.
2 for details.
B6: Reserved for future use
B7: Hot-Plug Device Switching Mode
Factory default: B7=OFF
A hot-plug device can be any un-hosted USB device (such as
a printer or memory stick) connected to the hot-plug port.
DIP switch B7 controls how the hot-plug device follows the
channel focus.
● When B7 is ON, the hot-plug device follows the keyboard
and mouse focus after a three second delay. (This delay
allows the K4u
+
to ignore quickly retracted changes to
the ‘wrong’ channel.)
● When B7 is OFF, the USB hot-plug device remains
switched to one channel, regardless of keyboard and
mouse focus, until the user explicitly switches the
hot-plug port to the active channel by pressing the
hot-keys + U.
Note: For a description of hot-key operations and options,
see section 4. Hot plugging is described in section 7. 2.
B8: Force In-System-Programming (ISP)
Factory default: B8=OFF
(Only needed in the unlikely event of a failed switch
firmware update.) The K4u
+
is fully flash programmable.
When B8 is ON, the K4u
+
is forced into programming mode.
