Introduction
Overview
The CS62KM is a 2-port USB Cable KM Switch that enables users to control
up to 2 computers with a single keyboard and mouse. It features various
innovative port selection methods. Users can switch between the connected
computers via remote port selector, keyboard hotkey, mouse cursor, and mouse
wheels. The mouse cursor method adopts ATEN’s exclusive Boundless
Switching technology, which provides an intuitive way to switch control to
another computer by simply moving your mouse cursor across a screen border
and onto the target computer display. Move the mouse cursor in any direction
to switch the control focus without limitations.
The CS62KM’s Boundless Switching function supports up to 2 monitors,
expediting the process of switching between computers for a smooth and
hassle-free user experience. In addition to making multitasking across two
displays more efficient, this function is especially useful in emergencies that
necessitate the immediate monitoring and management of computers.
Further advanced features of the CS62KM include bus-power mode which
means no external power adapter is required. With a rich feature set, the
CS62KM is designed to simplify administrative tasks, save space, and increase
work productivity, and is especially suitable for complex multitasking
applications in control rooms in any industry.

Basic Operation
Port Selection
There are four convenient methods to switch between the computers: Manual
– by pressing the port selection button; Mouse – by double-clicking the scroll
wheel; Hotkey – by entering key combinations on the keyboard; and Boundless
Switching– by moving the mouse cursor across display borders.
Manual Switching
For manual port selection:
Press port selection button from the remote port selector to bring the KM
focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.
Mouse Switching
For mouse port selection: Double-click the scroll wheel of your USB mou se to
cycle through the ports.
Note: 1. Mouse switching is only supported by USB 3-key scroll wheel mice.
2. Mouse switching is disabled by default. See Mouse Port Switching,
page 16, to enable mouse switching.
3. Mouse switching is only supported when Mouse Emulation is
enabled. See Mouse Emulation, page 16.
Hotkey Switching
For Hotkey port selection: All port switches from the keyboard begin by
pressing the Scroll Lock key twice. For more information on the Hotkey
parameters, (see Port Switching, page 11).
Boundless Switching
Boundless Switching is for port selection by moving the cursor across the
display borders – when the cursor appears on the next screen, the KM focus
switches. Before using Boundless Switching, you must turn off mouse
acceleration in the operating system and configure:
The screen size of all connected displays via hotkey, for more information,

Port ID Numbering
The PC 1 USB Cable is assigned a port number 1, and the PC 2 USB Cable is
assigned a port number 2. The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets
the KM focus with the Hotkey port selection method (See Going Directly to a
Port, page 11 for details).
Hot Plugging
The CS62KM supports USB hot plugging – components can be removed and
added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the USB hub
ports without the need to shut the unit down.
Powering Off and Restarting
If it b ecome s nec essa ry to pow er of f the CS62 KM un it, befo re po wering it back
