Changing Your Configuration
After the initial power up, any device (either a KVM or a PC) can be
added or removed from any PC x port on the KVM without having to
power down the Master KVM Switch.
Make sure that devices are turned off before connecting them to the Mas-
ter KVM switch. Please note that after changing your configuration, the
OSD will automatically update to reflect the new configuration.

Choose the best video mode
We recommend using a display resolution of 1024x768 @60Hz refresh
rate, as facilitates fitting multiple windows on your remote desktop. Higher
refresh rates put unnecessary stress on the quality provided by the video
card, and do not provide any additional information or benefit.
Noisy video cards
A digital KVM works by converting the analog video signals emitted by
your video card into digital data. If there is noise on that signal, then it
must also be digitized and sent over the network. Quality video cards, in
our experience, offer better performance simply because they don’t add
analog noise.
Some external KVM switches generate video noise as well. Try to keep
s
cables short, in order to reduce this effect.
Enable the
s
Noise Filter
option (in the Video Tuning menu) to mitigate
noise issues.
Network performance
The CABCONS1716I will always send as much data as it can, given
what’s happening on the screen and the actual network performance.
When nothing is changing on the video screen, zero bytes are sent over
the network. If the whole screen is changing, then the unit will send as
much data as can be supported by your network connection.
