Cables to Go KNV116D, KNV108D, KNV104D Operation, Configuration, Appendices, Specifications

Operation

On power up, the KNV2108D and KNV2116D are in Idle mode broadcasting VGA signal from the selected computer and detecting for keyboard and mouse activity. User LEDs (marked with reverse white and ) are both red indicating the KVM Switch is not in use.

When keyboard or mouse activity is detected at one CONSOLE, the KVM Switch immediately disables the other CONSOLE from accessing the computer. Only one User LED, at the front panel, remains lit indicating the KVM Switch is under user operation. In the mean time, keyboard LEDs (Num/Caps/Scroll Lock) of the other CONSOLE start to flash as its access is denied and the monitor is blocked from VGA signal for security reason. After the user has finished his operation for a period of time (i.e., User Timeout), the multi-access KVM Switch returns to Idle mode. User Timeout has four options, 5 sec, 30 sec, 60 sec and HOLD. Select HOLD when you plan to access the KVM Switch for a long time. Pressing the <Scroll Lock> twice forces the KVM Switch return to Idle mode immediately regardless of the User Timeout setting.

The User Timeout is available in the OSD menu by pressing the Function key <F4>, under the sub-menu More. Note: Keyboard Speed option is not available for multi-access models.

Configuration

To expand the number of computers under control, you may connect CONSOLE port of another KVM Switch to "PC 1" ~ "PC 8" port. Refer to the chapter Cascade Configuration for more detail. There are rules to apply for Master/Slave configuration. When KNV2108D is a Master, its slave includes KNV104, KNV104D, KNV108 and KNV108D. When KNV2116D is a Master, its slave includes all the above and KNV116D. These multi-access KVM Switches already come with OSD menu, their Slaves do not have to be OSD equipped.
