Chapter 2: Hardware Installation

NOTE:

1.Local console and Remote console of KVM Switch will have the same priority to control computer, just like a computer connected to two consoles. The remote console can con- trol both the local computer and remote computer connected to KVM switch; however, the local console can only control the computers on local side. There will be a conflict, if the local console and remote console access the computer simultaneously. Please don’t use local console and remote console at the same time.

2.When the video signal is foggy or un-clear on the screen, please check if VGA connector is connected properly, or the VGA resolution is too high for the length of cable being used. If the problem happened at VGA resolution, please shorten the CAT5 cable length or reduce VGA resolution. It is recommended to use “optimal CAT5 cable length” to get the best video quality and don’t add unnecessary CAT5 cable length. High VGA resolution is up to 1280X1024 and CAT5 cable length could be up to 500 feet.

3.There is a Dip Switch on the rear of the KVM switch. The factory default value is “OFF/ OFF” state. When you use CAT5 cable length over 300 feet, please set DIP Switch to “ON/ON” state. The other settings like “ON/OFF” or “OFF/ON” state is reserved for future applications.

Step 5

Computer port connectors of the KVM switch are HDDB-15 pin type. Plug the end of the cable which is HDDB-15 pin male connector to the selected computer port on the rear of KVM switch unit. The other end of the cable which has three connectors: a HDDB-15 pin male type for com- puters video, a Mini Din 6 pin female type for keyboard and a Mini Din 6 pin female type for mouse, will be attached to keyboard, mouse and monitor ports of the respective computer. Repeat the same procedure for all computers.

Step 6 (Optional)

If your computer has an AT type keyboard port (Din 5 pin), you will need a PS/2 to AT keyboard adapter.
