Signamax Connectivity System 098-8280/098-82160
Now the KVM Switches are ready to operate as soon as you turn on any of the
connected computer.
2.5.
Initialize your KVM Switch
2.5.1. Reset without disconnecting or powering down your
computers
The KVM Switch can be reset without disconnecting or powering down your
computers either by (
1) pressing down Button 1 on the front panel for 2
seconds
, or by
(2) the hotkey sequence ScrLk + ScrLk + End
. Note that each
keystroke should be followed by its next keystroke within a delay of no more than 2
seconds.
Note that, after you have set up a daisy-chain of cascaded KVM Switches, and you want to
initialize this daisy-chain of multiple cascaded KVM Switches for the first time, you should perform
the reset on the first (master) switch (that is, the first bank) to initialize. Also remember to turn on
all the other switches on the daisy-chain. The reason is that the first (master) switch will send
message to the slave units. If the slave units are not there to receive/respond to this reset message,
system errors will occur. However, if you want a reset later during your operation, it is allowable
to be performed on switches other than the master one.
If a reset is successfully performed, you should see the switch bank number which is default
to 1) being displayed on the 7-segement LED displays. If you are using multiple KVM switches in a
cascaded application, you should have different switch bank number being displayed on each bank.
