notes:
1. Console USB keyboard and mouse ports are switchable, i.e.
you can connect keyboard to mouse port and vice versa.
However, for optimal operation it is recommended to connect
USB keyboard to console USB keyboard port and USB mouse to
console USB mouse port.
2. For security reasons products do not support wireless keyboards.
In any case do not connect wireless keyboard to product.
3. Non-standard keyboards, such as keyboards with integrated
USB hubs and other USB-integrated devices, may not be
fully supported due to security policy. If they are supported,
only classical keyboard (HID) operation will be functional. It is
recommended to use standard USB keyboards.
4. Console USB mouse port supports Standard KVM Extender
composite device having a keyboard/mouse functions.
step 3 – Connecting Computers to the switch
3.1 Make sure all computers are powered off.
3.2 Using the Belkin Dual DVI/USB KVM Cable Kit, connect the
computers to a port on the rear of the KVM Switch.
note:
The Cable Kit must be connected directly to a free USB port
on your computer, with no USB hubs or other devices in between.
step 4 – Powering up the Computers
Power up all the attached computers and check for display and peripheral
functionality. All computers can be powered on simultaneously.
note:
Your computers should recognize the Switch and automatically
install the HID USB driver if necessary. Refer to the Troubleshooting
section of this manual if you are having problems with the USB
keyboard or mouse.
When you power on your computers, the Switch emulates both a mouse
and keyboard on each port and allows your computers to boot normally.
The computer connected to port “1” will be displayed on the monitor.
Check to see that the keyboard, monitor, and mouse are working
normally. Proceed to do this with all occupied ports to verify that all
computers are connected and responding correctly.
If you encounter an error, check your cable connections for that
computer and reboot. If the problem persists, please refer to the
Troubleshooting section in this User Manual.
