Notes: Before you begin, power off all devices that you will be connecting to the KVM switch. You must also unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On feature. There is a 3.5 mm port on the front of the B004-DUA4-K-R for use with an optional wired remote control.

1. Connect the external power supply to the KVM, and then plug it into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), or Power Distribution Unit (PDU).
2. Connect your USB keyboard and mouse to the two USB ports on the left side of the KVM switch. (The two USB ports on the right are for peripheral devices.)
3. Connect a microphone and speakers to the corresponding 3.5 mm stereo ports.
4. Connect your DVI monitor to the DVI console port on the KVM.
   Note: If you are connecting to a VGA monitor, use Tripp Lite's DVI to VGA adapter cable, model P556-006
5. If you are connecting USB peripherals, plug them into the two USB 2.0 ports on the right side. (The two USB ports on the left are for the shared keyboard and mouse.) The B004-DUA4-K-R includes two additional USB 2.0 peripheral ports on the front of the unit.
6. Using the included DVI + Audio KVM cable kits and USB A/B cables, connect the computer ports on the KVM to a computer.
   Note: If you are connecting to a computer with a DVI-D port, use a Tripp Lite DVI-I to DVI-D adapter, model P118-000.

Operation

There are two ways to access the computers connected to your KVM switch: Pushbutton or Keyboard Hotkey Commands.

Pushbutton

Press the pushbutton on the KVM to toggle between the connected computers. When toggling between ports, the default is for the computer, audio and USB hub functionality to be switched together. To unbind either audio or USB hub control from port switching, use the keyboard hotkey commands listed in the following section.

Keyboard Hotkey Commands

Another way to switch between connected computers is to use keyboard hotkey commands. Besides allowing you to switch computers, hotkey commands enable you to perform other functions, such as binding/unbinding computer switching with audio and/or the USB hub ports, initiate an auto scan, etc. The following table lists the available keyboard hotkey commands, explains how to initiate them and describes what they do.
