Introduction
Overview
The CL1008 / CL1016 Slideaway
TM
LCD KVM Switch series are control units
that allow access to multiple computers from a single keyboard, video, and
mouse (KVM) console. A single CL1008 or CL1016 can control up to 8 or 16
computers. As many as 15 additional KVM switches can be daisy chained to
the CL1008 / CL1016, so that up to 256 computers can all be controlled from
a single KVM console.
The CL1008 / CL1016 offers a space-saving, streamlined approach to KVM
switch technology by integrating a keyboard, LCD monitor, and touchpad in a
1U rack-mountable sliding housing. The LCD display is built into the cover;
the keyboard and touchpad are built into the base. Slide the KVM module
section out; flip the cover up; and you are ready to work. When finished, flip
the cover down and slide the KVM module away.
The CL1008 / CL1016 is built on a modular design. The KVM section can be
detached from the switch section for convenient maintenance and repair.
Your CL1008 / CL1016 investment is protected by an included Firmware
Upgrade Utility. You can stay current with the latest improvements to the
switch by downloading firmware update files from our website as they become
available, and using the utility to quickly and conveniently perform the
upgrade.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
entailed. Because the CL1008 / CL1016 intercepts keyboard input directly,
there is no software to configure; no need to get involved in complex
installation routines; nor any need to be concerned with incompatibility
problems.
Access to any computer connected to the installation is easily accomplished
either by entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or by means of a
powerful, mouse driven, on-screen display (OSD) menu system. A convenient
Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the
activities of all computers running on the installation one by one.

3. Basic Operation
21
Port ID Numbering
Each KVM port on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID is
made up of two parts: a Station Number, and a Port Number:
The Station Number – is a two digit number which reflects the switch's
position in the daisy chain sequence.
Note: 1. The first station CL1008 / CL1016 has a station number of 01.
The first daisy chained unit has a station number of 02, etc.
2. The daisy chained switches have front panel LEDs that display
their station IDs.
The Port Number – is a two digit number which reflects the port on the
station that the computer is connected to.
The station number precedes the Port Number.
Station and port numbers from 1–9 are padded with a preceding zero, so
they become 01–09.
For example, a computer attached to Port 6 of Station 12 would have a port
ID of 12-06.
Port Selection
The CL1008 / CL1016 provides three port selection methods you can use to
access the computers on the installation: manual; OSD menus, and hotkey.
Manual port switching is discussed below; OSD operation is discussed in the
next chapter; hotkey port selection is discussed in Chapter 5.
Manual Port Switching
Press a switch to bring the KVM focus to the computer attached to its
corresponding port.
Press buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for two seconds to perform a
keyboard and mouse reset.
Press buttons 7 and 8 (CL1008), or 15 and 16 (CL1016) simultaneously
for two seconds to invoke Auto Scan Mode (see p. 39).
CL1008 / CL1016 User Manual
22
Hot Plugging
The CL1008 / CL1016 supports hot plugging – computers can be removed and
added back into the installation by unplugging and replugging their cables
from/into the switch’s KVM ports.
In order for the switch’s OSD menus to correspond to the change, however,
you must manually reconfigure the OSD to reflect the new port information.
See F3: SET, page 28, and F4: ADM, page 30, for details.
Note: If the computer's operating system does not support hot plugging, this
function may not work properly.

OSD Operation
OSD Overview
The on-screen display (OSD) is a menu driven method to handle computer
control and switching operations. All procedures start from the OSD main
screen.
There are two ways to invoke the OSD:
1. Tap the OSD invocation key on the keyboard (see p. 60), or
2. Tap the [Scroll Lock] key twice.
Note: Scroll Lock] is the default OSD hotkey. You can optionally change the
OSD Hotkey to the Ctrl key (see OSD Hotkey, page 28), in which case
you would press [Ctrl] twice. If you choose this method, you must press
the same [Ctrl] key both times.
Logging In
The OSD incorporates a two level (administrator / user) authorization
procedure. Before the OSD main screen comes up, a login dialog box appears
requesting a username and password.
If this is a first time log in, or if the password function has not been set, simply
press [Enter]. The OSD main screen displays in administrator mode. In this
mode, you have administrator privileges, with access to all administrator and
user functions, and can set up operations (including password authorization) as
you like.
If the password function has been set, you must provide a valid username and
password in order to access the OSD.

OSD Main Screen
When you invoke the OSD, a screen similar to the one below appears:
Note: 1. The diagram depicts the administrator's main screen. The user main
screen does not show the F4 and F6 functions since these are reserved
for the administrator and can't be accessed by users.
2. The OSD always starts in List view, with the highlight bar at the same
position it was in the last time it was closed.
3. Only the ports that have been set accessible by the administrator for
the currently logged in user are visible (see SET ACCESSIBLE

Hotkey Mode Operation
Hotkey Mode Characteristics
When Hotkey Mode is active:
The Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in succession to indicate so.
They stop flashing and revert to normal status when you exit Hotkey mode.
A Command Line appears on the monitor screen. The command line
prompt is the word Hotkey: in white text on a blue background, and
displays the subsequent hotkey information that you key in.
Ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended – only hotkey
compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks (described in the sections that
follow), can be input. You must exit Hotkey mode (see p. 37) in order to
regain normal control of the console.
Selecting the Active Port
Each KVM port is assigned a unique Port ID (see Port ID Numbering,
page 21). You can directly access any computer on the installation with a
hotkey combination that specifies the port ID of the KVM port that the
computer is connected to. The steps involved are:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode (see page 37).
2. Key in the port ID
The port ID numbers display on the command line as you key them in. If
you make a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong number.
3. Press [Enter]
After you press [Enter], the KVM focus switches to the designated
computer and you automatically exit Hotkey mode.
5. Hotkey Operation
39
Auto Scan Mode
Auto Scan automatically switches among all the active KVM ports that are
accessible to the currently logged in user at regular intervals, allowing
automatic monitoring of computer activity. (See Scan/Skip Mode of the OSD
F3: SET function, page 28 for information regarding accessible ports.)
Setting the Scan Interval
The amount of time Auto Scan dwells on each port is set with the Scan
Duration setting of the OSD F3 SET function (see page 28). You can change
the scan interval before activating hotkey auto scanning, if you wish, with the
following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode (see page 37).
2. Key in [T] [n]
Where [T] is the letter T, and [n] is a number from 1–255 that represents
the number of seconds the system dwells on a port before going on to the
next.
The letter T and the numbers display on the command line as you key
them in. If you make a mistake, use [Backspace] to erase the wrong
number.
3. Press [Enter]
After you press [Enter], you automatically exit Hotkey mode, and are
ready to invoke auto scanning.
Invoking Auto Scan
To start auto scanning, key in the following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode (see page 37).
2. Press [A].
When you press A, you automatically exit Hotkey mode; enter Auto Scan
mode; and auto scanning begins.
While Auto Scan mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard and mouse functions are
suspended - only Auto Scan mode compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks can
be input. You must exit Auto Scan mode (see p. 40) in order to regain normal
control of the console.

Pausing Auto Scan
While you are in Auto Scan mode, you can pause the scanning in order to keep
the focus on a particular computer either by pressing P or with a left click of
the mouse. During the time that auto scanning is paused, the command line
displays: Auto Scan: Paused.
Pausing when you want to keep the focus on a particular computer is more
convenient than exiting Auto Scan mode because when you resume scanning,
you start from where you left off.
If you exit Auto Scan mode, on the other hand, when you restart scanning, you
start over from the beginning with the very first computer on the installation.
To resume auto scanning after pausing, press any key or left click. Scanning
continues from where it left off.
Exiting AutoScan Mode
To exit Auto Scan mode press [Esc] or [Spacebar]. Auto scanning stops when
you exit Auto Scan mode.
5. Hotkey Operation
41
Skip Mode
This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them
manually. You can dwell on a particular port for as long or as little as you like,
as opposed to auto scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed
interval. To invoke Skip Mode, key in the following hotkey combination:
1. Invoke Hotkey mode (see page 37).
2. Key in [Arrow]
Where [Arrow] refers to one of the arrow keys. After you press
[Arrow], you automatically exit Hotkey mode, and enter Skip Mode
where you can switch ports as follows:
Once you are in Skip Mode, you can keep on skipping by pressing the

Clear Login Information
If you are unable to perform an Administrator login (because the username and
password information has become corrupted, or you have forgotten it, for
example), you can clear the login information with the following procedure:
1. Power off the switch and remove the top cover from the unit chassis.
2. Short the jumper labeled Default Password on the switch's main board
.
3. Power on the switch.
When you power the switch on, the following message appears on the
LCD display:
USERNAME AND PASSWORD INFORMATION HAS BEEN CLEARED.
PLEASE POWER OFF THE SWITCH, REMOVE THE JUMPER, CLOSE
THE CASE, THEN RESTART.
4. After you start back up, the OSD login function acts exactly the way it did
the first time the switch was run (see OSD Overview, page 23) and you can
reset passwords for the administrators and users.
