Introduction

The LKV-S02ASK/LKV-S04ASK is a 2/4-port Slim
Palmtop PS/2 KVM Switch with the
switching function. It allows you to access, control, boot and
reboot multiple PS/2-enabled computers using only one keyboard,
video, mouse, and

one

speaker set and one microphone. It also
offers user-programmable simultaneous/independent
PC channel and Audio/Mic channel for flexible multimedia
application with KVM switching. For users who might need to
use a hotkey preceding sequence other than two scroll locks, we
also offer five key alternatives for free configuration.

The default setting of the LKV-S02ASK/LKV-S04ASK is
