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 DVI monitor into the console ports on the unit.

Note: If using a wireless keyboard and mouse, the dongle must plug into the unit's keyboard port in order to use the hotkey function.

1. (Optional) A USB 2.0 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. Also, the KVM's Mouse Emulation Mode must be disabled (see the Keyboard Hotkey Commands section of this manual for details) when connecting a hub.

1. (Optional) Plug your speakers and/or microphone into the audio jacks on the side of the unit.

2. Plug the connectors of the built-in cables into their respective ports on the computers you are installing.

3. Power on your devices.

Note: The unit's power on default is to link to the first computer that is powered on.

Operation

There are three ways of accessing computers and devices connected to the KVM switch: Manual Remote Switching, Mouse Port Switching and Keyboard Hotkeys.

Note: 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.

Manual Remote Port Selection

Press the port selection pushbutton on the Remote Port Selector to toggle the KVM and Audio focus between the two computers. The LED lights on the unit will indicate which computer is selected.

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, which is enabled by default (see the Keyboard Hotkey Commands section for details). Only 3-button scroll wheel mice are supported.

When enabled, the Mouse Port Switching Functionality allows users with scroll mice to simultaneously switch the focus of the KVM and Audio between ports by double-clicking the scroll wheel on their mouse.

Keyboard Hotkey Commands

Hotkeys allow you to switch functionality focus between ports using only the keyboard, as well as perform other functions on the KVM switch. All hotkey operations begin by tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. See the Keyboard Hotkey Commands table for full details. To switch the KVM and Audio between the two ports, press the [Scroll Lock] key twice, and then the [Enter] key. If the [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] hotkey conflicts with other programs running on your computer, it can be switched to [Ctrl] [Ctrl] via Hotkey command. (See the Keyboard Hotkey Commands table for details). The keyboard hotkey can also be switched by pressing and holding the Remote Port Selector switch for 3 seconds.
