Installation
Note: Make sure the power to all devices is turned off prior to installation. You must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On Function.
1 Plug your USB keyboard, mouse and VGA monitor into the console ports on the unit.
Note: If using a wireless keyboard and mouse, the dongle must be plugged into the unit's keyboard port to use the hotkey function.
2 (Optional) A USB hub can be connected to the USB console mouse port, allowing you to add multiple USB peripherals to your installation.
Note: To ensure proper functionality, use a hub with an external power supply. The KVM's Mouse Emulation Mode must also be disabled (see the Keyboard Hotkey Commands table in this manual for details) when connecting a hub.
3 Plug your speakers into the 3.5mm speaker jack.
4 Plug the unit's built-in USB, VGA and audio cables into the computers' corresponding ports.
5 Power on your devices.
Note: The unit's default power on function will link to the first computer being powered on.
Operation
There are two ways to access computers and devices connected to the KVM switch: Mouse Port Switching and Keyboard Hotkeys.
Notes:
- When switching ports, wait a few seconds for the selected computer's video to display on the console monitor prior to switching ports again.
- Do not switch ports when a USB peripheral device is in operation.
Port Switching
All port switching operations begin by tapping the Scroll Lock key twice.
| Hotkey Action | ||
| [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] + | [Enter] Brings the KVM and Audio focus from the port that currently has the KVM focus to the next port on the installation (1 to 2; 2 to 3; 3 to 4; 4 to 1) Note: If the KVM and Audio focus are on different ports, only the KVM focus switches. | |
| [n] [Enter] Brings the KVM and Audio focus to the computer attached to the corresponding Port ID. Note: Replace [n] with the port number (1, 2, 3, 4). | ||
Example 1
To bring the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus from Port 1 to Port 2:
- Press [Scroll Lock] twice.
- Press [Enter].
Example 2
To bring the KVM and audio focus from a port to a specified port number (e.g., Port 2):
- Press [Scroll Lock] twice.
- Press [2].
- Press [Enter].
Mouse Port Switching Functionality
Note: Mouse port switching is disabled by default and must be enabled via keyboard hotkey command. In addition, it is only supported when the KVM's mouse emulation mode is enabled (KVM mouse emulation is enabled by default—see the Keyboard Hotkey Commands table for details).
Invoking Hotkey Setting Mode
All hotkey operations begin by holding the Num Lock key, pressing and releasing the Minus key, then releasing the Num Lock key.
Note: If using [Num Lock] [-] conflicts with other programs, [Ctrl] [F12] can be used instead. See Hotkey Summary Table for details.
Operation
Auto Scanning

Note: To exit Auto Scan, press [Esc] or [Spacebar]. Auto Scanning stops when you exit Auto Scan mode.
