Installation of hardware

Take the following precautionary measures prior to installing the device:

1. Ensure the PC is switched off and disconnected from the mains.
2. Disconnect the printer and monitor cables (they have their own power supplies) to make absolutely sure the PC is not live.
3. Disconnect the keyboard, the mouse and the speaker set from the PC also.
4. Connect the keyboard, the mouse and the monitor to the front of the Sweeex 2 Port Compact KVM Switch with Audio. Connect the speaker set to the rear of the KVM switch. Note the correct colour coding when connecting the keyboard and the mouse (purple for the keyboard and green for the mouse).
5. Subsequently, connect the fixed cables (keyboard, mouse, monitor and speaker set) of the KVM switch to the relevant PCs. When using the Sweex Compact 2 Port USB KVM Switch with Audio, there are no separate cables for the keyboard and the mouse, viz., this is a single USB cable.
6. Now reconnect all other cables to the PC.
7. Switch on the monitor and PC again.

Operation

The desired PC can be selected by means of the auto-scan function. This function is enabled by pressing the 'SCROLL LOCK' button twice in quick succession. The Sweex 2 Port Compact KVM Switch with Audio is now been set to auto-scan mode. By pressing the 'ESC' button once the auto-scan function is disabled.

Note! When in auto-scan mode the keyboard and mouse cannot be used!

Auto-scan mode

When in the auto-scan mode, the SweeX 2 Port Compact KVM Switch with Audio automatically switches PC after a couple of seconds. The time interval depends on the setting. The interval is visually displayed by blinking keyboard LEDs (scroll lock, caps lock and num lock). By means of the ^ + and · buttons on the numerical part of the keyboard, the interval time can either be increased (+) or reduced (·)

The overview below shows all interval times and corresponding visual displays:

Seconds	Num Lock	Caps Lock	Scroll Lock
5	Off	Off	On
10	On	Off	Off
15	On	Off	On
20	Off	On	Off
25	Off	On	On
30	On	On	Off

The default time interval value is 5 seconds. Thus visually, only the scroll lock LED will be blinking when in auto-scan mode.

LED indicators

The Sweex 2 Port Compact KVM Switch with Audio contains 3 LEDs:

LED indicators	Colour	Status	Meaning
PC1 - PC2	Green	On	Indicates that PC1 - PC2 has been selected as active PC
AUTO	Red	On	Auto-scan mode is active. The KVM switch now switches between PC1 and PC2 at a certain time interval.
		Off	PC1 - PC2 is selected
