1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing LevelOne KVM-0830/1630 Combo KVM Switch. The KVM

Switches offer the most reliable and efficient way of managing multiple computers in server

rooms where space is at a premium. On Screen Display (OSD) features computer naming,

computer selection, status indication, auto scan and much more. Up to 128 servers can be

easily managed by cascading multiple KVM switches to expand the capacity.

Revolutionized video enhancement technology ensures superb quality up to 1920 x 1440.

KVM-0830/1630 supports host PC with PS/2 and USB interface. The convenient HDDB-15

to VGA+PS/2+USB cable allows user to connect to different kinds of PC interfaces by the

same cable. Users no longer need to prepare two kinds of cables for their PCs or servers

with different kinds of interfaces. Users can save their time and cost when building their

system.

Besides the USB console port, KVM-0830/1630 provide an Cat.5 remote console port for

users to access KVM switch remotely with the KVM-9007 Cat.5 Receiver. After making

connection between KVM switch and Cat.5 receiver by Cat.5/5e/6 cable, users can control

their system remotely and the distance can be up to 300 meters. Users can use their

existing LAN cables to do the remote control, this also saves their cost and reduce the

complexity. Some server room environments are too noisy for people or unsuitable to work

there for a long time, this remote control feature is an ideal solution for these situations.

9. Hardware Installation

Before installation, please make sure all of peripherals and computers have been turned off.

This example of installation is based on KVM-0830 and the procedure of KVM-1630 is the

same.

Step 1

KVM-0830 / KVM-1630 can be mounted in a standard 19-inch equipment rack or on a

desktop. To mount to a rack, attach the brackets to the device using the screws provided in

the rack-mount Kit.

Step 2 (Local Console)

Connect the monitor to the HDDB-15 female port of the local console ports on the back of

the KVM.

Step 3

Connect an USB keyboard to the KVM Switch.

Step 4

Connect an USB mouse to the KVM Switch.

Step 4-1 (Remote Console)

Extending your PC console up to 1000 feet away:

(1) Make sure that the Cat.5 cable is straight through type.

(2) Plug one end of Cat.5 cable into the remote console port of KVM switch and the other

end of Cat.5 cable into the RJ-45 port of KVM-9007 Cat.5 receiver.

(3) Connect keyboard, mouse and monitor to the Keyboard/Mouse port and Monitor port

of KVM-9007.

(4) Connect Local PC to KVM-9007 by using the HDDB-15 to the VGA+PS/2+USB cable

KVM-9007

Cat.5 Receiver

300 Meters

NOTE:

1. Local console and Remote console of the KVM switch have the same

priority to control computers connected to the KVM switch. The display

output is the same at the local and remote console monitors. The priority

mechanism is: the first move port has the priority and will release the

priority if it did not keep input for 2 seconds.

2. If the video signal is foggy or un-cleared on the screen, please check if the

VGA connector of monitor is well connected to KVM-9007 Cat.5 receiver.

3. For the best display result, it is highly recommended to use Cat.6 cable

when the connection distance is longer than 150 meters.

Step 5

The PC port connector is HDDB-15 pin type. Plug the HDDB-15 end of the KVM cable

(HDDB-15 to VGA+PS/2+USB type) into PC port on the rear of KVM switch unit.

The Rear Side of PC

(a) For PS/2 computers - Plug the PS/2 connector into the PS/2 mouse port of PC. And to

use the USB to PS2 adaptor to convert the USB connector into PS/2 interface, then

connect it to the keyboard port of PC.

(b) For USB computers - Plug the USB connector into the USB port of PC and no need to

connect the PS/2 connector to the PC.

Step 6

Double-check all of the connections. You can check the color of keyboard and mouse

connector to make sure the keyboard and mouse connectors are plugged to the correct

ports.

Step 7

Attach the power supply to the KVM unit and plug the other end into a receptacle. The Port

1 LED will be lit up, and you will hear a beep. Please switch on your monitor.

Note:

Please remember to plug the power adapter. Although the PCs connected to KVM Switch

are able to support enough power to the stand alone switch, KVM switch still needs a

power adapter for daisy chain more banks. Unexpected status may occur If you try to

daisy chain more KVM switches without plugging the power adapter.
