INSTALLATION
qBIOS / CMOS SETTINGS
The following BIOS setup changes are necessary for PC
users and
not necessary for Mac users:
1.
In STANDARD CMOS, set “HALT ON ERRORS” setting to “ALL
BUT KEYBOARD”.
2. In PNP AND PCI SETUP, set “PNP OS INSTALLED” setting to
“YES” and set “USB IRQ” setting to “ENABLED”.
NOTE:
The UR-Series KVM USB switch is applicable for USB keyboard
and mouse switching from one computer to the other. If you plan to
share other peripherals such as a CCD camera, printer or scanner, it
is required that you shut down the driver of the computer before
switching to another computer. Because port switching is equivalent
to unplugging the USB cable from one computer and plugging it in to
another one, some USB drivers check attached USB peripherals all
the time and will not accept this.
qCONSOLE CONNECTIONS
Before installation, make sure all devices and computers to be
connected to theUR-Series KVM switch have been turned off.
Plug a monitor into the Console's VGA port; plug a USB keyboard
and a USB mouse into any two of the 4 Console's USB ports as
shown in figure 2.
As an option, theUR-Series USB KVM switch can be linked to an
exisiting ConnectPROPR-Series PS/2 type (non-USB)KVM
switch with the mini-DIN8 male-to-
male cable which is supplied with
your UR-Series USB KVM switch. See figure 2.
