USING YOUR KVM SWITCH

Powering Up the Systems

Once all cables have been connected, power up the CPUs that are attached to the KVM Switch. All computers can be powered on simultaneously. The KVM Switch emulates a mouse and keyboard on each port and allows your computer to boot normally.

Your KVM Switch should now be ready for use.

You can select which computer to operate by either the direct-access port selectors located on the front panel of the KVM Switch or through keyboard hot key commands. Note that it will take 1–2 seconds for the video to display after switching. This is due to the refresh of the video signal. There is also re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signal that takes place. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is established.

Selecting a Computer Using Direct-Access Port Selectors

You can directly select which computer you wish to control by pressing the corresponding direct-access port selector next to the appropriate port. The LED will be lit to indicate that the port is currently selected.

Selecting a Computer Using Keyboard Hot Key Commands

You can command the KVM Switch to switch ports with a simple keyboard command sequence by using the “SCROLL LOCK” key and up/down arrow keys. To send commands to the KVM Switch, the “SCROLL LOCK” key must be pressed twice within two seconds. You will hear a beep for confirmation. Then you can press the up/down arrow keys to switch between ports.
