Verifying Ethernet connections

The Ethernet connection has two LEDs. The green LED on the right is the Link indicator. It is lit when a valid connection to the network is established, and it flashes when there is activity on the port. The amber/green LED on the left indicates the device is communicating at 100 Mbps (amber) or 1000 Mbps (green) when using the Ethernet connection.

Connecting local peripheral devices

To connect local peripheral devices to the KVM switches:

Connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to each set of color-coded ports on the rear of the KVM switch.

To connect local virtual media:

Connect the virtual media to any of the four USB ports on the KVM switch. For all virtual media sessions, you must use a KVM USB VM server module.

Adjusting mouse settings

Before a computer connected to the KVM switch can be used for remote user control, you must set the target mouse speed and turn off acceleration.
