Introduction

The StarTech.com SV231DDUSB 2-port Dual Monitor KVM Switch (DVI+VGA) oers

a complete dual display multimedia switching solution, allowing users to control 2

computers using a single USB mouse and keyboard peripheral set.

With support for high-resolution video interfaces, the versatile dual monitor KVM

switch provides 1 VGA (analog) and 1 DVI-I port per computer connection, as well as

audio switching capability between connected computers.

Delivering the capability you need for virtually any application, the dual monitor

KVM switch features an integrated 2-port USB hub that allows connected USB 2.0

peripherals to be shared between connected computers, eliminating the need to

purchase duplicate peripherals.

Suitable for any workspace, the dual monitor KVM switch features a compact, desktop

KVM design and features a rugged metal chassis that helps ensure durability.

NOTE: While both DVI-I (analog mode) and DVI-D (digital only) are supported by the

KVM, both source PCs must output the same signal type for proper switching. It is

recommended wherever possible to use DVI-D cables across all PC to KVM and KVM

to Console connections. If necessary, please contact our technical support team for

assistance identifying your source.

The 2-port DVI+VGA dual monitor KVM switch is backed by a StarTech.com 2-year

warranty and free lifetime technical support.

Installation

Hardware Installation

NOTE: Prior to the installation, please power o all devices that will be connected to

this system.

1. Place the KVM switch in close proximity to the keyboard, mouse, and monitor(s) you

wish to use as the console controls.

2. Connect the USB keyboard, mouse, speakers and microphone (if applicable) to the

KVM switch.

3. Connect the DVI monitor into the Console’s DVI connector.

4. Connect the VGA monitor into the Console’s VGA connector.

OPTIONAL: Connect any other USB peripheral you wish to share between the

connected computers/devices to the extra USB Hub port on the Console side.

5. Use male-to-male video cables to connect the DVI and VGA connectors on the

computer’s video card, to the DVI and VGA ports for one of the KVM’s PC ports (i.e. PC1).

NOTE: Do not mix dierent types of DVI cables (DVI-I, DVI-D) on the same KVM switch.

6. Use a USB type A-B Cable to connect the KVM’s USB port (type B, square connector)

for the PC port used in the previous step, and the USB port on the computer (type A,

at connector). If using audio, connect 3.5mm mini-jack cables from the PC port to

the sound card.

NOTE: DVI + USB + Audio KVM combo cables are also available which can be used

in place of separate individual cables (e.g. StarTech.com ID: DVI4N1USB6).

7. Repeat the previous two steps for each PC port on the KVM switch, or each

computer you wish to use on the KVM switch.

8. Connect the external power adapter from a wall outlet to the power connector on

the rear panel of the KVM switch.

9. Power up the rst computer/device and wait for it to fully boot and test keyboard/

mouse functionality.

Driver Installation

No driver installation is required for the KVM switch, as the keyboard/mouse use USB

drivers that are already installed on any operating system that fully supports USB.

Instruction Manual

Operation

Port Selection Buttons

The Front Panel buttons allow direct control over KVM switch operation and channel

switching. Simply press the PC button for PC port switching. If binding is enabled

between PC / USB hub port control / Audio and Mic switching, they will be jointly

selected at the same time). If you wish to enable the binding of PC / Hub Port control /

Audio and Mic switching, see “Hotkeys” section.

Port Selection LEDs

The green ‘PC’ LED indicates the currently selected computer that has keyboard and

mouse, audio and video access. The red‘HUB’ LED indicates the currently selected

computer that has access to the USB hub ports.

Hotkey Control

A Hotkey command is a short keyboard sequence for selecting a computer, activating

computer scan, etc. A hotkey sequence starts with two left <ScrLk> (Scroll Lock)

keystrokes (successively within 2 seconds) followed by one or two more keystrokes.

A built-in tone generator creates a high-pitch beep for correct hotkey command;

otherwise, errors and bad key sequences will not be forwarded to the currently

selected computer.

The two proceeding keystrokes can be changed if desired. Press <ScrLk> + <ScrLk> +

<H>, which will be followed by two beeps indicating readiness for selection of a new

preceding sequence, or press and hold down the last front-panel button (Button 2 on

SV231DDUSB, Button 4 on SV431DDUSB) until you hear two beeps, then release the

button.

Select and press the key you would like to use as your preceding sequence (Scroll Lock,

Caps Lock, ESC, F12 or Num Lock) and you’ll hear a beep for conrmation. The new

preceding sequence can now be used to execute hotkey commands.
