Multimedia Module

Multimedia Module

An optional multimedia A/V module (MAV108) is used to select microphone, speaker and monitor signals from one out of eight or 16 computers. The A/V module is connected to the LINK port on the rear panel via an mini-DIN-8 connector. When a computer is selected, the microphone signal is directed to that computer, speaker and monitor signal source from the same computer.

As an OSD option, the A/V module may select a computer different from that of the KVM system. There are two options in Audio Stick function (<F4>:More\Audio Stick). When set to 'On', A/V module selection follows computer selection. When set to 'Off', A/V module selection stops following computer selection. It is useful if you want to listen to one particular computer's audio signal while selecting other computers during operation.

With extra VGA ports, the A/V module enables you to view multiple monitors from one PC at the same time. Now you can extend your Windows desktop for all your computers and switch accordingly.

------------------------ Operation

Front Panel Push Buttons

You may select a computer by pressing the front panel push button directly, by issuing hot-key commands or by activating the OSD window (for models with OSD support). The front panel indicator changes to reflect the computer port selected (red) and whether the port is connected to a powered computer (green). The indicator flashes red when it is in either Auto Scan or Manual Scan mode.

Some computers support 'keyboard/mouse power up' function, i.e., press certain keys or mouse buttons to startup the computers. Their corresponding green front indicators lit all the time even if the computers are 'off'.

K/M RESET

K/M RESET solves most problems developed by keyboard, mouse, device replacement or change of configuration. Press down both the front-panel number 1 and 2 push buttons for 2 seconds to re-configure the whole system without turning either the KVM Switch or any computer off.

AUTO SCAN

The KVM Switch provides an easy to use feature to start Auto Scanning. You can press down both the front-panel number 7 and 8 buttons for 2 seconds to start Auto Scanning.
