computer A, and the GREEN LED represents computer B.
2. Share Station Menu: Right-click the Share Switch icon in the lower right-hand corner of your screen and select Open. A menu will appear (see below)
which shows two sets of four boxes which represent computer A and B. Computer B is displayed on the left and Computer A on the right. To transfer
usage of a device to a computer, simply click on the box next to the port that the device is connected to. Usage will be transferred and the corresponding

Operation
File Transfer
To use the file transfer function, simply press the file transfer push-button on the unit. After pressing the button, the RED LED above the button will
illuminate, and the file transfer screen will appear, splitting the screen into Remote Host and Local Host. It may take a minute or so for the file transfer
screen to appear. If the file transfer screen does not automatically appear, go to the My Computer section of both computers and double-click the
EasySuite icon. Once the file transfer screen is displayed, simply drag-and-drop or copy-and-paste files from one computer to another. Note: While the file
transfer function is being used, you will not be able to transfer usage of a device.
Printer Sharing
When a printer is connected to the Share Switch, both computers may access the printer without having to switch usage between computers.
Auto and Manual Modes
There is a switch on the bottom of the unit that allows you to put the switch into Auto Mode or Manual Mode.
Auto Mode: When in Auto Mode, the switch will automatically transfer usage of all devices to the other computer when one computer is disconnected.
Manual Mode: When in Manual Mode, the switch will not automatically transfer usage of all devices to the other computer when one computer is
disconnected. In this mode, you will have to manually transfer usage of connected devices.
