System Requirements
In order for your input devices and your monitor to properly communicate
with the PCs on the switch, you must ensure that the following equipment is
installed on the computers which you plan to use with the switch.
• A VGA, SVGA or Multisync card
• PS/2 Mouse Ports
• PS/2 Keyboard Ports
Linksys does not support the use of ProConnect Compact KVM Switches with
AT-style ports. Nor does Linksys support the use of AT to PS/2 or PS/2 to
AT adapters.
Cables
For your convenience, you can use any standard PS/2 cable to connect your
PCs to the Compact KVM Switch. We recommend, however, that you use
cables which are no more than 6 feet long. Not only will this simplify the
installation procedure and help keep your work area free of excess cable clut-
ter, but it will also keep your system functioning properly. Longer cables may
compromise the data that travels through them, possibly causing screen distortion,
as well as keyboard or mouse problems.
