2-Port Compact PS/2 KVM Switch

with Audio

Model: B004-VPA2-K-R

Introduction

The B004-VPA2-K-R is a 2-port compact PS/2 KVM Switch with optional audio and microphone switching function. It allows you to access, control, boot and reboot multiple PS/2-enabled computers using a single keyboard, monitor, mouse console and optional speaker set and microphone. The B004-VPA2-K-R also offers user-programmable simultaneous/independent switching of applications. For users who need to use a hot key sequence other than the pre-programmed scroll locks, it also offers fi ve hot key confi guration alternatives.

Installation

The KVM Switch is a plug-and-play device, eliminating the need to confi gure the KVM Switch before installation.

Note: Before connecting the KVM Switch to the computers, make sure all connected computers are powered-off. Otherwise, the computers will not be able to recognize the connected keyboard and mouse.

Step 1. Make sure all computers that are to be connected to the KVM Switch and their peripherals are

in a powered-off state. If not, power them off before you proceed with the following steps.

Step 2. Connect the shared PS/2 keyboard, mouse, monitor, speaker set and microphone to the KVM Switch.

Step 3. Connect each of your computers to the KVM Switch using the included KVM and audio/ microphone cables.

Step 4. Power-up the connected computers. After your computers are powered up, the keyboard and mouse will automatically be recognized. The KVM Switch should now be powered-up. You can now begin operating the KVM Switch.

Push Button Switching

The built-in push buttons allow you to directly control switching between computers. Simply press the button to switch computer ports. By default, Audio/Mic and PC Switching are simultaneous. To disable this feature, use the hot key sequence ScrLk + ScrLk + W.

(See Quick Reference Guide.)

Keyboard Hot Key Switching

A keyboard hot key sequence consists of at least three specifi c keystrokes. (See Quick Reference Guide.)

Hot key sequence: [ScrLk]* + [ScrLk]* + command key(s)

* User-defi nable: Scroll Lock, Caps, Esc, F12 or Num Lock.

Hot Key Sequence Configuration

For users who want to use a sequence other than the two consecutive Scroll Locks, the B004-VPA2-K-R offers an additional convenient sequence confi guration option.

Step 1. Hit Scroll Lock + H (two beeps will signal readiness for new sequence selection). Or press and hold down the last push button (Port Selection Button) until you hear two beeps and then release the button.

Step 2. Select and press the key you would like to use as your sequence (Scroll Lock, Caps, Esc, F12 or Num Lock keys are available for selection) and you’ll hear a beep for selection confi rmation. Now you can use the new sequence to execute your hot key commands.

Each keystroke within a hot key sequence should be pressed within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the hot key sequence will not be valid.

For detailed hot key sequences and their corresponding functional commands, please refer to the Quick Reference Guide on the other side of this manual.
