CONNECTING & OPERATING THE 8X1 DVI KVM DL/SL SWITCH

How to Connect the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher to your devices:

1.Connect your computers’ DVI, USB, and Audio sources to the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher inputs using the supplied cables.

2.Connect your DVI display to the DVI output of the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher using a user-supplied DVI cable.

3.Connect your USB and audio devices to the USB and audio outputs with user- supplied cables.

4.Connect the included 5V DC power supply to the Switcher by by screwing its 5V DC power supply tip into the receptacle in the rear of the unit, then plug it into the wall.

5.Turn on the DVI display or projector first, then the DVI video sources/ computers.

Note: Computers must be turned on one at a time and the switcher must be selected to the computer that is booting up. This is so that monitor information (EDID) can be transmitted from the display to each computer. After one computer completes the startup process, you can boot up the second computer and repeat the process with the remaining computers. This can be avoided with the use of a EDID storage device (DVI DETECTIVE; part# EXT-DVI-EDIDN) that will constantly supply each computer with

an EDID. In this scenario, each computer must have a detective placed between itself and the switcher. Then, each computer can boot up in any order and at anytime, regardless of which computer the switch is selected to.

How to Operate the 8x1 DVI KVM DL/SL Switcher:

1.Use the RMT-8IR remote control to remotely switch between DVI video sources.

2.Alternatively, use a RS-232 control system or the front panel selection button.
