SL-271-D
2 Port Cable KVM Switch – DVI/USB and Audio
Quick Installation Guide
Introduction
The SL-271-D
is a 2 port DVI/USB & Audio KVM Switch with two
fixed KVM cables & a QuickSwitch button for simple switching. It
allows you to access and control your computers using only one
USB keyboard & mouse, DVI monitor, speakers & microphone.
Supports Single Link DVI-D up to 1920 x 1200.
Active Sync Replication (ASR) technology ensures maximum
compatibility. ASR is an advanced video emulation technology
that ensures simultaneous full-time DDC emulation to all
connected ports. This ensures 100% video compatibility when
using operating systems like Windows 7 and Windows 8, which
have a more demanding requirement for full-time DDC emulation.
The USB keyboard and mouse ports are fully transparent USB
2.0 hub ports that feature full driver support for advanced
keyboard and mouse functionality.
If your connected keyboard and mouse only use one USB port,
the other USB port can be used to connect high-speed USB
devices such as USB external storage devices or webcam etc.

speaker/headphone and microphone to its relevant port

device to the other USB port on the KVM to share this
device between the connected computers.
