Note: Make sure the power to all devices is turned off prior to installation. You must

unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function.

on the unit.

Note: If using a wireless keyboard and mouse, the dongle must plug into the unit’s

keyboard port in order to use the hotkey function.

2. (Optional) A USB 2.0 hub can be connected to the USB console mouse

port, allowing you to add multiple USB peripherals to your installation.

Note: To ensure proper functionality, use a hub with an external power supply. Also,

the KVM’s Mouse Emulation Mode must be disabled (see the Keyboard Hotkey

Commands section of this manual for details) when connecting a hub.

3. (Optional) Plug your speakers and/or microphone into the audio jacks on

the side of the unit.

4. Plug the connectors of the built-in cables into their respective ports on

the computers you are installing.

Operation

There are three ways of accessing computers and devices connected to the

KVM switch: Manual Remote Switching, Mouse Port Switching and Keyboard

Hotkeys.

Note: When switching ports, wait a few seconds for the selected computer’s video to

display on the console monitor prior to switching ports again. Do not switch ports when

a USB peripheral device is in operation.

Manual Remote Port Selection

Press the port selection pushbutton on the Remote Port Selector to toggle

the KVM and Audio focus between the two computers. The LED lights on the

unit will indicate which computer is selected.

Mouse Port Switching Functionality

Note: Mouse port switching is disabled by default, and must be enabled via keyboard

hotkey command. In addition, it is only supported when the KVM’s mouse emulation

mode is enabled, which is enabled by default (see the Keyboard Hotkey Commands

section for details). Only 3-key scroll wheel mice are supported.

When enabled, the Mouse Port Switching Functionality allows users with

scroll mice to simultaneously switch the focus of the KVM and Audio

between ports by double-clicking the scroll wheel on their mouse.

Keyboard Hotkey Commands

Hotkeys allow you to switch functionality focus between ports using only the

keyboard, as well as perform other functions on the KVM switch. All hotkey

operations begin by tapping the Scroll Lock key twice. See the Keyboard

Hotkey Commands table for full details. To switch the KVM and Audio

between the two ports, press the [Scroll Lock] key twice, and then the

[Enter] key. If the [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] hotkey conﬂicts with other

programs running on your computer, it can be switched to [Ctrl] [Ctrl]

via Hotkey command. (See the Keyboard Hotkey Commands table for

details). The keyboard hotkey can also be switched by pressing and holding

the Remote Port Selector switch for 3 seconds.
