Step 2.

 Connect the shared USB keyboard, mouse, monitor, 

speaker/headphone and microphone each to its port on 
your KVM Switch.

Some older computers with USB interface might need to manually 
enable the USB option in the BIOS settings before you can use any 
USB devices. If your USB interface does not work, please check the 
USB option status in the BIOS. 

 

If you use Windows 95/98/SE and has not yet installed a USB mouse 
on your computer, there might be an error message telling you that 
mouse is not detected and prompting you to decide whether to 
ignore the same message in the future, and yet you found there is no 
mouse movement to disable this message….So it is suggested that 
you should installed your USB mouse on your computer first, before 
connected it to this KVM Switch.
