Connecting the Host Computer to the Unit
*SV1653DXI rear panel shown
Please note:
It is strongly recommended that all systems supporting USB use the USB
server interface modules (see StarTech.com part # SV5USBM). PS/2 modules (SV5PS2M)
are available for legacy systems.
1. If present, disconnect the existing monitor and PS/2 or USB keyboard/
mouse from the host computer.
2. Connect the PS/2 keyboard and mouse or USB connector to the host
computer.
3. Connect the VGA connector to the host computer.
4. Connect the Server Interface Module (SV5PS2M or SV5USBM) to the
KVM with a straight through CAT5 cable.
5. Power on the host computer.
Disabling Mouse Acceleration
on the Host Computer
Many operating systems offer a feature called mouse acceleration, allowing the
user to adjust the responsiveness of the cursor on the screen in relation to physical
movements of the mouse. While this is usually a beneficial interface enhancement, it
will interfere with the operation of the SVxx53DXI and should be disabled on the host
computer before a remote session is attempted.
Please note: If the SV5USBM (USB version) is used with a modern Windows O/S
computer, there is no need to disable mouse acceleration. Only PS/2 systems, or
USB systems with Linux or UNIX operating systems require this change. Ignore this
section in that case.
