EDID LEARN
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
A full Manual can be downloaded from
www.ipgard.com/documentation/
The KVM is designed to learn a connected
monitor’s EDID upon power up. In the event
of connecting a new monitor to the KVM, a
power recycle is required.
The KVM will indicate the unit’s EDID learn
process is active by flashing the front panel’s
LEDs. In sequential order. Starting with the
LED above button “1” on the front panel,
each LED will flash green for approximately
10 seconds upon beginning the EDID
learn. Once all the LEDs stop flashing, the
LEDs will cycle and the EDID learn will be
complete.
A monitor must be connected to the video
output port located in the console space at
the back of the KVM during the EDID learn
process.
If the read EDID from the connected monitor
is identical to the current stored EDID in the
KVM then the EDID learn function will be
skipped.
1. Ensure that power is turned off or disconnected from the unit and the computers.
2. Use DVI cables to connect the DVI output ports from each computer to the corresponding
DVI-I IN ports of the unit.
3. Use a USB cable (Type-A to Type-B) to connect a USB port on each computer to the respective
USB ports of the unit.
4. Optionally connect a stereo audio cable (3.5mm to 3.5mm) to connect the audio output of
the computers to the AUDIO IN ports of the unit.
5. Connect a monitor to the DVI-I OUT console ports of the unit using DVI cables.
6. Connect a USB keyboard and mouse in the two USB console ports.
7. Optionally connect stereo speakers to the AUDIO OUT port of the unit.
8. Finally, power on the KVM by connecting a 12VDC power supply to the power connector, and
then turn on all the computers.
Note:
The computer connected to port 1 will always be selected by default after power up.
Note:
You can connect up to 8 computers to the 8 port KVM.
