BANK 8

Note: If you are connecting a PS/2 computer to your B040-Series KVM switch, make sure it is powered off before connecting to the KVM Switch. Otherwise, the PS/2 Computer may not recognize the Keyboard and Mouse, preventing you from using them. USB computers do not have this limitation.

Step 1: Connect the included AC power cord to the KVM Switch to power it on.

If you are using an individual B040-008-19 or B040-016-19

KVM switch that is not Daisy-Chained to another switch, proceed to step 4.

Daisy-Chaining Multiple NetController KVM Switches

Warning! The total length of daisy-chain cabling from the master KVM switch to the last KVM switch in a daisy-chain installation (regardless of the number of levels) must not exceed 16 ft. (5 m). If the total length of the daisy-chain cabling exceeds 16 ft. (5 m), the installation will not function properly.

Step 2: You will need a P781 Series Daisy-Chain cable (HD15-M to HD15-F) to connect the Daisy-Chain OUT Port (HD15-F) of the Master KVM Switch (1st KVM switch in a chain) to the Daisy-Chain IN Port (HD15-M) of the second KVM switch. Connect the AC power cord to the second switch to power it on. You can Daisy-Chain any combination of non-console NetController KVM switches to a maximum of 8 levels.

Step 3: Repeat Step 2 to connect more non-console NetController KVM switches using the supplied daisy-chain cable or another P781 Cable. Attach the included Daisy-Chain Terminator to the Daisy-Chain OUT port of the last KVM in the Daisy-Chain.

Note: It is not necessary to use the Daisy-Chain Terminator on the Daisy-Chain OUT port of the NetController KVM switch if you are not Daisy-Chaining it to another KVM switch.

Step 4: Connect each of your computers to a computer port on the rear panel of each NetController KVM switch using a Tripp Lite P780-Series USB-PS/2 KVM Cable Kit (not included). The Tripp Lite P780-Series KVM cable has a HD15 connector on one end and a PS/2 Keyboard connector, USB connector, HD15 connector and a USB to PS/2 Mouse Adapter. When connecting with a USB computer, the USB connector is the only connector needed for Keyboard and Mouse, leaving the PS/2 Keyboard connector unplugged. When connecting with a PS/2 computer, add the USB to PS/2 Mouse adapter to the USB connector and you’ll have a PS/2 connector for the mouse. Do not connect USB connector and PS/2 keyboard connector to a computer at the same time.

Step 5: Power up the connected computers. After your computer is powered up, the PS/2 keyboard and mouse will be recognized and you can now begin operating your B040- Series KVM switch.

Push Buttons

Switch to any connected computer simply by pressing the corresponding button on the front panel of your NetController KVM switch.
