Installation Procedures

Operation

1) Begin by establishing connections between your Host Computers and the SolidKVM SK06 Switch. Utilize USB cables to connect the Host Computers to the USB-B ports of the KVM Switch. Subsequently, link the MIC and stereo ports of the Host Computers to the corresponding ports located above the KVM Switch "HDMI In" using 3.5mm audio cables. Complete this step by connecting the Host Computers to the KVM Switch "HDMI In" ports using HDMI cables. Upon completion, the "Online" indicators will light up, confirming successful connections.
2) Proceed to connect peripheral devices. Attach the keyboard and mouse to the USB-A ports located on the back panel of the KVM Switch. Then, respectively connect microphones and amplifiers to either the MIC and stereo ports on the front panel or above the Switch "HDMI Out" using 3.5mm audio cables. For display connectivity, link a display to the Switch "HDMI Out" using an HDMI cable.
3) Power on the KVM Switch by supplying it with DC 5V and pressing the power button. Upon activation, the "Power" indicator will light up, confirming that power is operational. Ensure that the USB-B ports are connected properly, and the "Online" indicators will light up. The "Select" indicator will light up to denote the currently selected Host Computers.
4) Utilize the buttons located on the Switch front panel to select the input source. Upon selection, the corresponding "Select" indicator will light up, and the display will showcase the corresponding image. Subsequently, the selected Host Computers can be controlled using a keyboard and mouse.
5) The remote control functionality mirrors the manual buttons, facilitating input selection and control with equal efficiency and precision.

Special Function Operation

1) Mouse Traversal Function:

Place the mouse on the far right side of the display and continue to slide to the right for 2 seconds, the Switch automatically switches to the next port. Switching order is: PC1→PC2→PC1→...;

2) USB-B detection switching function:

When the KVM Switch detects that a PC is connected to the USB-B port of the Switch, it immediately switches to this PC and the corresponding "Online" and "Select" indicators light up. For instance, if PC1 is already connected and PC2 is subsequently connected to the KVM Switch via the USB-B port, it swiftly switches to PC2.
2 When the current selected PC is powered off or the USB cable is dialed out, the KVM Switch automatically switches to the next PC with the power on and the USB port connected.
