SERVSWITCH MULTIVIDEO INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

The green POWER LED will turn on and the power-on diagnostic will run.
Wait until the SELECT 1 LED on the front panel lights before entering any
configuration or switching commands. This assures that the internal
diagnostics have completed. If, for any reason, you need to cycle power on
a unit, turn the power off and wait 10 seconds before re-applying power.
On initial power-up, computer 1 is automatically connected. The SELECT 1
LED on the front panel will light indicating that the KVM station is connected
to the CPU-1 port.
Connecting the computers
Each computer that is connected to the ServSwitch MultiVideo is connected
using a CPU cable. This cable connects from the DB25M CPU port on the
rear panel to the keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports on a CPU (See
Figure 8). The keyboard, monitor, and mouse connectors on the CPU
cable should be compatible with the corresponding ports on the computer
being connected. The additional video ports on the CPU are connected to
the DB25F connectors using a DB25F to HD15 cable. For ease of
installation and configuration, it is recommended that the computers’ power
be off at this time. When a computer is booted, the ServSwitch MultiVideo
can automatically determine the keyboard and mouse types of the
connected CPUs.
If removing power from a computer is not feasible, the ServSwitch
MultiVideo should be pre-configured, if needed, before the CPU is
connected. The default keyboard and mouse types set for each CPU port
are; PC mode 2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse. If the computer being
connected does not use a PC mode 2 keyboard and a PS/2 mouse, pre-
configure the CPU port for the correct keyboard and mouse type. Once the
CPU port has been configured, the computer can be connected to the
ServSwitch MultiVideo. This procedure should only be done if the
computer’s keyboard and mouse can be disconnected and re-connected
with power applied to the computer without affecting the interface.
To pre-configure a CPU port, perform the following:
(Note: the computer should not be connected to the CPU port at this time)
1. Apply power to the Unit and the KVM station monitor.
2. Switch to the CPU port to pre-configure by pressing and releasing the
left control [Ctrl] key, type in the CPU port number, and press [Enter].
3. Issue the “Set mode” command. (Ctrl,Mnn,[Enter])
Example : If the keyboard is a PC mode 3 keyboard, the command
would be Ctrl,M3,[Enter] (See Table 3)
4. Select the correct mouse type from Table 4.
5. Issue the “Set mode” command (Ctrl,Mnn,[Enter])
Example: if the mouse type is a serial 2 button mouse, the
command would be Ctrl,M7,[Enter]
6. Issue the “Keep” command to save the new values
(Ctrl,K,[Enter])
7. Perform steps 2 through 7 for each CPU port that needs the default
keyboard and mouse changed to a different type.
