Connecting the console devices
Keyb.: Plug the connection cable of the USB keyboard in this interface.

Plug the connection cable of the USB mouse in this interface.
Line In:
If desired, connect a microphone or a headset to this interface.
Speaker: Connect the speakers to this interface for output of audio signals at the
active computer.
DP Monitor:
Plug the monitor’s DisplayPort cable to this interface.
DVI-D-Monitor: Plug the monitor’s DVI-I cable to this interface.
USB 2.0 Devices: If you want USB devices to be available to the connected computers
(e.g. a printer or a mass storage device), connect these devices to the interfaces on
the front panel (see figure 1 on page 4).
ADVICE:
Connect the cables of the console and the computers preferably block by
block and from the bottom up. By doing so, you will avoid already connected
cables blocking your view of the interfaces.
Figure 2: Interfaces to connect the console devices
IMPORTANT: You can also connect both input devices to the
USB2.0 Devices
interfaces
on the front panel of the device.
In this case, switching of the channels is not possible via keyboard!
NOTE: You can use either a DisplayPort cable to connect the monitor to the
DP Monitor
socket or a DVI cable to connect it to the
DVI-D Monitor
socket.
NOTE: When deploying a
MC2
variant of the KVM switch, the separate video signals
of computers in a multi-monitor installation can be transmitted to two monitors.
Connect the second monitor to the
DP Monitor 2 or DVI-D Monitor 2 interface of the
MC2 variant.
