SL-271-H 

2 Port Cable KVM Switch – HDMI/USB and Audio

 

 

Quick Installation Guide 

 

 

 

Introduction 

 

The SL-271-H

 

is a 2 port HDMI/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, HDMI monitor, speakers 
& microphone. 
 
Supports Full HD 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. 

Installation 

 

Step 1.

   Connect the shared USB keyboard, mouse, monitor, 

speaker/headphone and microphone to its relevant port 
on the SL-271-H. If your keyboard and mouse uses only 
one USB port on the KVM, you can connect any USB 
device to the other USB port on the KVM to share this 
device between the connected computers. 

 

Step 2

.   Connect each KVM PC port to a computer using the 

HDMI/USB/Audio combo cable. After you have 
connected the KVM and computers, you can operate 
the KVM switch immediately.
