Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com USB and DVI KVM switch. This product allows

you to switch between 2 or 4 computers (depending on the model purchased)

including the audio signal. Designed for today’s cutting edge systems, it features

native support for USB input devices and DVI video. You can save space and improve

productivity by sharing one console among multiple computers without sacricing the

quality of your digital video signal by using converters and adapters.

Packaging Contents

• USB + DVI KVM Switch (1)

• Power Adapter (1)

• Instruction Manual (1)

System Requirements

• Console: USB keyboard (1), USB mouse (1), monitor with DVI-I or DVI-D connectors

(1), speakers (optional), microphone (optional)

• Controlled systems: USB support, DVI-I or DVI-D video out, speaker out (optional),

microphone out (optional)

Additional cables required (not included): Each controlled computer will require a USB

Type A to Type B cable (1), DVI-I or DVI-D male-to-male switchbox cable (1), optional

3.5 mm phono male-to-male sound cable for speakers and microphone (2). See page 5

for StarTech.com part numbers for all required cables.

Instruction Manual

Installation

This section details how to connect your computers to the KVM switch. For best results,

ensure that all the computers to be controlled are located as close as possible to the

KVM switch and console peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse). This will reduce the

length of cabling required and reduces the chance of interference.

Installing the KVM Switch

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

wish to use as the console controls.

2. Connect the monitor to the DVI port under CONSOLE.

3. Connect a USB keyboard to the Type A connector under CONSOLE, marked with a

keyboard icon.

4. Connect a USB mouse to the Type A connector under CONSOLE, marked with a

mouse icon.

5. Connect speakers to the green 3.5mm phono connector under CONSOLE (optional).

6. Connect a microphone to the pink 3.5mm phono connector under CONSOLE (optional).

7. Connect up to 2 other USB devices to the ports marked USB HUB (optional).

8. Plug the power adapter into a wall outlet or other suitable power source. Connect

the opposite end to the port marked DC 9V on the KVM switch. (This step is

optional, and is required only if you will be using the KVM switch as a USB hub for

otherdevices as described in step 7. If you are not connecting devices to the USB

HUB ports, the KVM switch will function as a self-powered device and does not

require the power adapter.)

Instruction Manual

Connecting Computers to the KVM Switch

This section describes how to connect a computer you wish to control to the KVM switch.

Repeat these steps for each computer you wish to connect.

1. Remove any existing keyboards, mice, monitors, speakers, and microphones from

the computer.

2. Using a DVI-I or DVI-D male-to-male switchbox cable, connect one end to the video

out connector on the computer. (This will be the same connector from which you

disconnected the monitor in step 1, if applicable.) Connect the opposite end to the

DVI connector on the KVM switch that corresponds to the computer number you

wish to use for that system (marked PC 1 ~ PC 2 or PC 1 ~ PC 4 as applicable).

3. Using a USB Type A to Type B cable, connect the “A” (at) end to an available

USB port on the computer. Connect the opposite end to the “B” (D-shaped) USB

connector on the KVM switch that corresponds to the computer number you wishto

use for that system (directly under the monitor connection in step 2). This will

provide both keyboard and mouse access to that system.

4. Optional:You can use 3.5mm male-to-male phono speaker cable to connect the

speaker and/or microphone outputs on the computer to the corresponding

connectors on the KVM switch, located under the monitor connector that

corresponds to that computer on the KVM. Most computers have sound and

microphone connectors that are color-coded to the standard used on the KVM

switch: green for speakers, pink for microphone. See the documentation for the

computer for assistance, if needed.

Instruction Manual

Using the KVM Switch

Green LED (solid) = Active Computer

Green LED (ashing) = No Powered Computer on that Port

Red LED (solid) = Active Control of USB Hub

Button = Switch control to that port

The KVM switch oers two convenient ways to switch console control of the attached

computers. The rst is by using the buttons on the front panel to select which

computer is active. The second is using keyboard hotkey combinations, which also

allow you to adjust several conguration options on the KVM. The reference chart on

the next page describes the hotkey commands and their options in detail.

Note: If your computer is congured to use power-saving features (i.e. auto-standby

after inactivity), you may experience intermittent diculty using the KVM switch.

For optimal performance we recommend conguring your computer’s BIOS setup

software to enable or disable (as applicable) the following options:

• Enable “USB Legacy Support”

• Enable “USB Keyboard and Mouse to bring computer out of standby”

• Disable “Power Saving Mode” for the USB hub

The names and location of these and similar options may vary from computer to

computer. Consult your manufacturer’s documentation for information on accessing

and modifying the BIOS setup if necessary.

Instruction Manual

Keyboard Hotkey Command Reference Chart

Command

Name Hotkey Sequence Description

Select active

computer [ScrLk]+[ScrLk]+[x]

Switches access to the computer connected to the

corresponding port number on the KVM. ([x]= a

number on the keyboard)

Bind computer

and Audio/Mic

control (default)

[ScrLk]+[ScrLk]+[Q]

When either the select active computer or select

audio/mic output control commands are executed,

both functions are switched to the selected port.

Unbind

computer and

Audio/Mic

output control

[ScrLk]+[ScrLk]+[W]

The computer control and USB hub control can be

executed separately; KVM control and Audio/Mic

output control control can be assigned to dierent

ports at one time.

Select next/

previous port [ScrLk]+[ScrLk]+[arrow] Selects the next (up arrow key) or previous (down

arrow key) numbered port for control.

Select previous

port [ScrLk]+[ScrLk]+[BkSp] Selects the most recent previously active port.

Beep sound

on/o [ScrLk]+[ScrLk]+[B] Enables/disables audible responses from the KVM.

Dene new

hotkey sequence [ScrLk]+[ScrLk]+[H]+[y] Change the standard [ScrLk] hotkey to a new value

(see below).

Autoscan [ScrLk]+[ScrLk]+[S] Automatically switch active ports in sequence

every 10 seconds. (Press any key to cancel.)

Autoscan with

programmable

delay

[ScrLk]+[ScrLk]+[S]+[z] Autoscan with a delay other than 10 seconds (see

below). Press any key to cancel.

Instruction Manual

Binding/Unbinding control: By default the switch will automatically switch audio

control to the KVM port you select to control (bound). If you choose to“unbind”

control, you can assign control of the audio to a port other than the active computer

using the commands above.

Valid hotkey sequences: If you enter the“Dene new hotkey sequence” command

([ScrLk]+[ScrLk]+[H]+[y] the value of [y] replaces the [ScrLk]+[ScrLk] command with

one of the following:

[CapsLk] = [CapsLk]+[CapsLk]

[Esc] = [Esc]+[Esc] [F12] = [F12]+[F12]

[NumLk] = [NumLk]+[NumLk]

[ScrLk] = [ScrLk]+[ScrLk] (if another key sequence has been enabled)

Programmable Autoscan delay time: [z] can be any one of the following values:

1=10 sec., 2=20 sec. through 9=90 sec., 0=100 sec.

Note: Apple computers will need to be programmed using an IBM-compatible

keyboard that has a Scroll Lock key.
