Requirements

Console

• A DVI monitor capable of the highest resolution that you will be using on any computer in

the installation

• A USB keyboard and a USB mouse

• Speakers and microphone (optional)

Computers

The following equipment must be installed on each computer that is to be connected to the

system:

• A DVI video port

• A USB port for the keyboard, a USB port for the mouse, and a USB host controller

• Speaker and microphone ports (optional)

Installation

Make sure power to all computers being installed has been turned OFF.

1. Plug your keyboard, monitor, mouse, microphone and speakers into the appropriate

connectors at the end of the console cable. The ports are color coded and labeled with an

identifying icon.

Plug the keyboard in before plugging in the mouse. When using a

wireless composite keyboard and mouse, its USB cable must plug

into the KVM-0260’s keyboard port for the Hotkeys to function.

The mouse connector (black) is actually a USB port, and can accept

any USB compatible peripheral. You can even connect a hub to install

multiple USB devices.

2. Plug the keyboard, monitor, mouse, microphone, and speaker connectors of the KVM

cables into their respective ports on the computers you are installing.

3. Turn on the power to the computers.

Note: By default the KVM links to the first computer that is turned on.

Port Selection

Select port by tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. The tables below describe the actions that

each hotkey operation performs.

in process. Switching ports will terminate the operation.

Troubleshooting:

Q: New Keyboard Functions Not Working?

A: You plugged in a new keyboard while the computers were running, so the operating

system failed to initialize the new keyboard functions. Restart the computers so that

the operating system can recognize the new functions.

Q: Why does the KVM auto-switch to a computer that is turned off?

A: The KVM recognizes computers based on power from USB. Some motherboards still

supply power to the USB even though the computer is turned off, causing the KVM to

mistakenly auto-switch to it. To remedy this problem, unplug the USB of the computer

that it is turned off.

Q: Why does it take so long to exit auto-scanning after pressing ESC?

A: Different keyboards transmit their keystroke inputs. We have found that the response

from some keyboards will be slower.

Q: Why is my USB 2.0 hub or device recognized as a USB 1.x?

A: The USB connector on the KVM acts only as a pass-through cable. So USB 2.0

compatibility will depend on the source of the USB (motherboard or adapter)

Q: Why DVI KVM Switch cannot detect VGA signal?

A: Although the DVI KVM Switch is using DVI-I connector, but the hardware itself cannot

recognize the analog signal from VGA device. So using the VGA to DVI connector

cannot help DVI KVM Switch to detect VGA device. DVI KVM Switch can only accept

digital signal from device with DVI connector.
