HSL KVM Switches

Share keyboard, video, mouse, USB and audio peripherals to simplify

user experience when working with multiple computers.

Users that work with multiple computers such as, financial traders or

command & control operators are inconveniently forced to interact with

multiple sets of keyboard, video, mouse, USB and audio peripherals.

The Keyboard Video Mouse (KVM) switch offered by HSL allows

effortlessly sharing a single set of peripherals between multiple

computers.

switch.

push button LED lit.

Note: Power ON self-test: As the product powers-up it performs a self-test

procedure. In case of self- test failure for any reason, including jammed buttons,

the product will be Inoperable. Self-test failure will be indicated by abnormal LED

behavior – for further information please refer to the KVM setup guide.

Step 4 – Reset to Factory Defaults

Operating the KVM

Front Panel Push-Buttons

•Following power up, the default channel is #1.

•Select any other channel by pressing the appropriate front panel

push button.

•The mouse cursor will be positioned at the center of the selected

computer display.

•The currently selected channel is indicated by the illumination of

the appropriate push-button.

Freeze USB

•Once switching between channels, for example from channel

#1 to channel #3, the USB and Audio devices are automatically

switched accordingly. This is indicated by channel #3 USB and

Audio LEDs turning steady GREEN.

•When switching to a channel that has no USB connection, the

USB Port remains mapped to the last channel that had a USB

connection.

•Press the freeze USB button on the front panel to assign the USB

port to a specific computer. Freeze USB prevents switching the

USB port while the keyboard, video, mouse and audio peripherals

are switched between computers. Freeze USB is useful for various

scenarios, for instance, when a USB disk-on-key must remain

mapped to a certain computer.

Freeze Audio

•Press the freeze audio button on the front panel to assign

the audio port to a specific computer. Freeze audio prevents

switching the audio port while the keyboard, video, mouse and

USB peripherals are switched between computers. Freeze audio

is useful when a user has to listen to audio originating from one

computer while working on another computer.
