CONNECTING AND OPERATING THE 2X1 DISPLAYPORT KVM

Connecting Source Devices to the 2x1 DisplayPort KVM

1.Connect up to two DisplayPort source devices (i.e. Computer Video Output) to the DisplayPort inputs on the 2x1 DisplayPort KVM using the included DisplayPort cables. DisplayPort Input 1 will be routed to the DisplayPort output when Input 1 is selected, and DisplayPort Input 2 will be routed to the DisplayPort output when Input 2 is selected.

2.Connect up to two audio sources (i.e. Computer Audio Output) to the 3.5mm analog audio mini-jack inputs using the included audio cables. Audio Input 1 will be routed to the audio output when Input 1 is selected, and Audio Input 2 will be routed to the audio output when Input 2 is selected.

3.Connect up to two USB source devices (i.e. Computer’s USB port) to the USB Type B inputs using the included USB Type A to B cables. USB Input 1 will be routed to the connected USB devices when Input 1 is selected, and USB Input 2 will be routed to the connected USB devices when Input 2 is selected.

Connecting Output Devices to the 2x1 DisplayPort KVM

1.Connect a DisplayPort device (i.e. DIsplayPort Display) to the DisplayPort output on the 2x1 DisplayPort KVM using a user/device supplied DisplayPort cable.

2.Connect an audio device (i.e. Audio Amplifier) to the 3.5mm analog audio mini-jack output using a user supplied 3.5mm analog audio cable.

3.Connect up to two USB devices (i.e. Keyboard & Mouse) to the USB Type A inputs using user/device supplied USB cables.

Connecting Power to the 2x1 DisplayPort KVM

1.Connect the included 5V power supply to the power receptacle on the 2x1 DisplayPort KVM.

2.Connect the opposite end of the power supply to an open wall socket power source.
