2) Please make sure computer and switch KVM are turned off.

Step 3. Secure the brackets tightly.

Step 4. Follow the same steps to attach the second bracket to the opposite side.

Step 5. After the brackets are attached to the Web Smart Switch, use suitable screws to securely attach the brackets to the rack.

Step 9. Install the Master KVM to the 3-in-1 cable (same as the cable for connecting the KVM to the PC) in the middle of the Slave KVMs.

Step 10. Double-check all of the connections. You can check the color of keyboard and mouse connector to make sure the keyboard and mouse cables go to the correct ports.

Step 11. Attach the power supply to the KVM unit and plug the other end into an electrical receptacle. Now you will see the LED for Port 1 light up. Switch on your monitor.

Note

It is not necessary to power down the whole system for installing a new PC or KVM thereafter. All you need is to make sure that the new PC or KVM is OFF during the installation. If the KVM powers down due to external Factors (such as power failure or the power of the KVM is turned off), we recommend you to reinstall the whole system.

Parameters Description
MAC	Display the Ethernet MAC address of the device. Note that user cannot change it.

IP	This address is a unique number that identifies a computer or device on the WAN or LAN. These numbers are usually shown in groups separated by periods, for example, 192.168.0.10.
Subnet Mask	Subnets allow network traffic between hosts to be separated based on the network's configuration. In IP networking, traffic takes the form of packets. IP subnets advance network security and performance to some level by organizing hosts into logical groups. Subnet masks contain four bytes and usually appear in the same "dotted decimal" data. For example, a very common subnet mask in its binary demonstration 11111111 11111111 11111111 00000000 will usually be shown in the corresponding, more readable form as 255.255.255.0.
