5.4 Sharing USB Peripheral Devices

The USB 1.1 port on the Console KVM Switch’s LCD panel and the B022-U16 front panel can be used to share USB peripherals between connected com- puters. Simply connect a USB peripheral device to this port, and any connected computer you switch to will have access to the device.

Note: The following limitations apply to the USB peripheral port:

1.This port serves as a 1 port USB 1.1 hub; USB 2.0 devices will not function as designed.

2.USB peripherals can only be shared among computers that are connected to the KVM switch via the USB connectors on the P778-Series USB/PS2 Combo KVM Cable Kit.

3.USB peripherals can only be shared among computers that are connected to the KVM switch that the USB peripheral is plugged into. Computers that are connected to daisy-chained KVM switches will not have access to the USB peripheral device.

5.5Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to power OFF the KVM switch, follow the procedure below:

1.Shut down all computers connected to the KVM switch. If you are powering OFF a daisy-chain installation, shut down all computers connected to each KVM switch in the installation. Note: It is necessary to unplug any computers that have the Keyboard Power ON function. If left on, the KVM switch will continue to receive power via these computers.

2.Turn OFF the KVM switch (Console KVM only) and unplug the KVM switch from its power source. Power OFF and unplug each KVM switch in the daisy-chain succession.

3.Wait 10 seconds and then plug the KVM switch, starting with the first station, back into its power source. Turn ON the power to the KVM switch (Console KVM only).

4.Once the first station KVM switch has ascertained its position in the daisy-chain, power ON and plug in the next KVM switch in the installation. Follow this procedure for each KVM switch in the installation.

5.Once all KVM switches in the installation have been powered back ON, turn on the power to all connected computers.
