3.Connect the free end of this cable to the RJ-45 port labeled “UTP OUT” on the KV1519A.

4.Run another CAT5 cable (not included; we recommend product code EYN737MS) from the RJ-45 port labeled “UTP IN” on the KV1519A to the same user port on the Base Unit from which you disconnected the other cable.

5.Plug the KV1519A’s HD15 strand into the HD15 VGA video port of the CPU you want the user station to have local access to. Plug its purple 6-pin mini- DIN keyboard strand into the CPU’s 6-pin mini-DIN keyboard port. Plug its light green 6-pin mini-DIN strand into the CPU’s 6-pin mini-DIN mouse port.

6.Plug in and turn on the CPU. If the CIM is installed and operating properly, the CIM’s green LED will start blinking: once per second while the CIM is idle, or more quickly while it’s passing data in either direction.

Once this installation is finished, you can activate Local PC Mode on the USM by taking these steps:

1.Login at the attached user station.

2.Press the hotkey ([Scroll Lock] is the default]) twice in quick succession to bring up the OSUI.

2.Press [F4] to bring up the User Profile Menu (see Section 5.3).

3.Use [Tab] or the up- and down-arrow keys to move the highlight to the “Local PC” field.

4.Press [Enter]. The Local PC field will turn green.

5.Use the up- or down-arrow key to toggle the value of the field to “On.”

6.Press [Enter]. The highlight will turn yellow.

7.Press “S” to save the change and return to the User Profile Menu. If you really don’t want to do this at this time, press [Esc] to abort the change and return to the User Profile Menu.

Once you’ve turned on Local PC Mode, you can access the dedicated local PC CPU from this user station by pressing the [Home] key twice in quick succession while the OSUI is on screen. The USM will immediately switch you to the local PC. To return to the Summit system and its switched CPUs, bring up the OSUI by pressing the hotkey twice ([Scroll Lock] is the factory default), then press [F2] to bring up the Selection Menu and access any of the listed computers.
