SAMPLE CONNECTION DIAGRAM

KVM FUNCTIONALITY

The KVM switch can be controlled using the connected mouse and

keyboard without any special configuration. A mouse with a scroll wheel

is highly recommended for maximum KVM control functionality.

When quadview mode is enabled, the top left screen (HDMI® 1) is active

by default. Moving the mouse cursor to the border of the screens in

quadview will automatically switch the active window. The KVM switch

responds to the following mouse actions:

Scroll Wheel: Scrolling syncs the coordinates between the

source computer and the KVM switch.

Scroll Wheel/Middle Mouse Button: When in quadview mode,

double-clicking the Scroll Wheel/Middle Mouse Button switches

to fullscreen mode with the active window. When in fullscreen

mode, double-clicking the Scroll Wheel/Middle Mouse Button

switches to quadview.

As with other KVM switches, the mouse cursors on inactive windows

remain on screen.

WEB UI CONTROL

You can control the KVM switch using a computer connected through

the Ethernet port on the rear panel. You can connect directly or through

an existing Ethernet network.

KVM switch. These instructions assume the use of the Windows®

1. Plug one end of an Ethernet cable (not included) into the

Ethernet port on the rear panel of the KVM switch, then plug

the other end into the Ethernet port on your computer.

2. On your computer, click Start > Control Panel > Network and

Sharing Center.

3. Click the Change adapter settings option.

4. Right click Local Area Connection, then select the Properties
