LKV -248AUSK
Introduction
The LKV-248AUSK provides Audio&Mic switching to offer
you uninterrupted multimedia experience with KVM Switching.
With its multi-platform support for PC and Macintosh G3/G4,
iMAC, this KVM Switch allows you to access, control, boot
and reboot multiple USB-enabled multimedia computers
using only one keyboard, video, mouse and a speaker set
and microphone. Built-in with a 4-port USB Hub, it is designed
specifically for sharing your USB keyboard, mouse and other
USB devices with four USB-enabled PCs.
Before you install
The default setting of LKV-248AUSK is appropriate for most
systems. In fact, you do not need to configure the KVM
Switch before installation. Yet particular caution has to be
taken before installation:

Easy Operation
There are two methods to control your KVM Switch for either
simultaneous or independent PC / USB hub port / Audio&Mic
channel selection: using the front-panel push buttons or a
hotkey sequence.
Front-panel buttons
The front-panel buttons let you have direct control over KVM
switch operation and channel switching. Simply press the PC
button for PC port switching, and press the USB button for USB
hub port control switching. If you want to enable the binding of
PC/Hub port/Audio&Mic switching, use the hotkey sequences. See

A keyboard hotkey sequence consists of three specific
keystrokes: See Quick Reference Sheet
Hotkey seq u ence = S cr L k + ScrLk +
Command key
Each k eystroke w ithin a hotk ey seq uence should be pressed w ith in 2
seconds. O therwise, the hotk ey sequence w ill not be validated.
For detailed Ho tk ey seq uences and their corre sponding functional
commands, please refer to th e Quick reference sheet.
