• Read all instructions and save them for future reference.

• Follow all warnings and instructions marked on the device.

• Do not place the device on any unstable surface (cart, stand, table, etc.). If the device falls, serious damage will result.

• Do not use the device near water.

• Do not place the device near, or over, radiators or heat registers. The device cabinet contains slots and openings to allow for adequate ventilation. To ensure reliable operation and to protect against overheating, these openings must never be blocked or covered.

• The device should never be placed on a soft surface (bed, sofa, rug, etc.) as this will block its ventilation openings. Likewise, the device should not be placed in a built-in enclosure unless adequate ventilation has been provided.

• Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.

• Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.

• The device should be operated from the power source type as indicated on the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available, consult your dealer or local power utility.

Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the power cord and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.

• If an extension cord is used with this device, make sure the total ampere rating of all products used on the cord does not exceed the extension cord ampere rating. Make sure the total rating of all products plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.

• Position system cables and power cables carefully. Make sure nothing rests on any cables.

• To help protect your system from sudden transient increases and decreases in electrical power, it is recommended you plug your devices into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Line Conditioner, or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).7 Important Safety Instructions

• When connecting or disconnecting power to hot-pluggable power supplies, observe the following guidelines: o Install the power supply before connecting the power cable to the power supply. o Unplug the power cable before removing the power supply. o If the system has multiple power sources, disconnect power from the system by unplugging all power cables from the power supplies.

• Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts, resulting in a risk of electricalshockorre.

• If the following conditions occur, unplug the device from the wall outlet andbringittoqualiedservicepersonnelforrepair. o The power cord or plug has become damaged or frayed. o Liquid has been spilled into the device. o The device has been exposed to rain or water. o The device has been dropped or the cabinet has been damaged. o The device exhibits a distinct change in performance, indicating a need for service. o The device does not operate normally when the operating instructions are followed.

• Only adjust those controls that are covered in the operating instructions. Improper adjustment of other controls may result in damagethatwillrequireextensiveworkbyaqualiedtechnicianto repair.

• This device is designed for IT power distribution systems with up to 230V phase-to-phase voltage.

• To prevent damage to your installation, it is important that all devices are properly grounded.8 Important Safety Instructions Installation

• This device is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug. This is a safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact an electrician to replace your outlet with one that will accept this type of plug. Do not attempt to defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug. Always follow your local/national wiring codes.

• Warning! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with an incorrect battery type. Do not attempt to service the device yourself. Refer all servicing to qualied service personnel. Note: Before proceeding with installation, make sure all devices being connected to the KVM switch are turned o.

1. Using audio/video cables appropriate for your switch model, connect

the video output port of each computer you are adding to the video input ports of the KVM Switch. Note: Models with Dual Monitor capability require two available video ports per computer.

2. Using USB A/B device cables, connect a USB port on each computer

being added to the USB input ports of the KVM Switch. Note: Models with CAC (Common Access Card) support require an additional USB 2.0 A/B cable connected to each computer.

3. Using 3.5 mm stereo audio cables, connect the audio output of each

computer you are adding to the audio input ports of the KVM Switch.

4. Using the appropriate audio/video cable, connect a monitor

appropriate for your switch model to the console video output port of the KVM switch.9 Installation

5. Connect a wired USB keyboard and mouse to the console USB

keyboard and mouse ports of the KVM switch. Note: Keyboards and mice with internal USB hub or composite device functions are not supported. Wireless keyboards and mice are not supported.

6. Connect a set of speakers to the console audio output port of the

KVM Switch using a 3.5 mm stereo audio cable. Note: Microphones or headsets with microphones are not supported.

7. For models with CAC support, connect a CAC reader to the console

CAC port of the KVM switch. Note: CAC readers with external power sources are not supported.

8. Power on the KVM by connecting the included external power supply

and plugging it into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Power Distribution Unit (PDU), or Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS).

9. Power on all connected computers and monitor. The Front Panel

10. To switch among the connected computers, simply push the desired

input button on the front-panel of the KVM. If an input port is selected, the LED of that port will turn on.10 KM Switching Note: KM switching is not applicable to KVM models with only one video console port. After connecting all devices to your B002-Series Secure KVM Switch, adisplaymodeanddisplaytopologycongurationmustbeselected. Bydefault,theB002-SeriesSecureKVMSwitchesareconguredto Single-Head Display Mode and a topology with four screens arranged horizontally, starting with Port 1. Note: If one or more of the input computers have multiple displays, Multi-Head Display Mode must be selected. Otherwise, select Single-Head Display Mode. The table below shows Display Mode keyboard hotkey commands: Commands Hotkeys Single-Head Sisplay Mode CTRL+CTRL+K+S Multi-Head Display Mode CTRL+CTRL+K+M Single-Head Mode KM Switching In addition to traditional channel switching by buttons located on the front panel, KM also supports cursor control of selected channels.

1. KM functionality for KVM devices is only available once the device

has been put into KM mode, refer to admin tool guide for detail.

2. When the device is placed into KM mode, it will behave identically to

the KM models of the product. 3.Themajordi󰀨erencewhenthedeviceisplacedintoKMmodeis that cursor control of selected channels is available as an additional method to switch the connected computer.11 KM Switching

Multi-Head Mode KM Switching When using computers with multiple displays, cursor control of selected channels will no longer auto-switch from monitor to monitor. Cursor control of selected channels will now consist of pressing the scroll wheel twice and moving the mouse in the direction of the channel you desire to switch to. Note: Multi-Head Display Mode switching must be used if any of the four computers have multiple displays.
