Using the OmniView KVM Cable for SOHO Series with Audio (the KVM

Using the KVM Cable, connect one end of the pink male 3.5mm plug to
the mic jack of your sound card or computer and connect the other end
to the pink mic jack of the KVM Switch. See Fig. 14.
Powering Up the Systems
Once all cables have been connected, power up the CPUs that are
attached to the KVM Switch. All computers can be powered on
simultaneously. The KVM Switch emulates a mouse and keyboard on each
port and allows your computer to boot normally.
Your KVM Switch should now be ready for use.
You can select which computer to operate by either the direct-access port
selectors located on the front panel of the KVM Switch or through
keyboard hot key commands. Note that it will take 1–2 seconds for the
video to display after switching. This is due to the refresh of the video
signal. There is also re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard signal
that takes place. This is normal operation and ensures that proper
synchronization is established.
Selecting a Computer Using Direct-Access Port Selectors
You can directly select which computer you wish to control by pressing
the corresponding direct-access port selector next to the appropriate
port. The LED will be lit to indicate that the port is currently selected.
Selecting a Computer Using Keyboard Hot Key Commands
You can command the KVM Switch to switch ports with a simple keyboard
command sequence by using the “SCROLL LOCK” key and up/down arrow
keys. To send commands to the KVM Switch, the “SCROLL LOCK” key must
be pressed twice within two seconds. You will hear a beep for
confirmation. Then you can press the up/down arrow keys to switch
between ports.
