INTRODUCTION
The USB-882 "MegaMux"
KVM Splitter/Multiplexer allows two workstations, each consisting of a USB keyboard, mouse,
and (for some models - see below) one or two monitors to share local access to one PC with only one workstation being
active at a time. The USB-882-KM models will handle keyboard and mouse only while the USB-882-KMV adds the capability
of one monitor to the workstation. The USB-882-KMV2 models allow the capability of Dual video monitors to each workstation,
while the –KS models allow a fixed (for security purpose with key removal) selection of a workstation. Please note that with the
above models the monitor(s) at both workstations will be viewing the same image(s) at all times.
INSTALLATION
1. Connect the Multiplexer to the PC:
(a) Use the USB Type A-B cables, supplied with the system, to connect one of the PC's USB ports to the USB Type B
connector of the Multiplexer marked "TO PC". This finishes the connection to the PC for the USB-882-KM and USB-882-
KM-KS models.
(b) Connect the HDD15 male/female video extension cable to the PC’s female video port and the other end to the
Multiplexer’s male connector marked “TO PC MON”. For -KMV2 models connect the HDD15 male/female video extension
cable(s) to the PC’s female video port(s) and the other end to the Multiplexer’s male connectors marked “TO PC MON A” and
“TO PC MON B”.
2. Connect Workstations to the Multiplexer:
(a) Use the normal keyboard cable to connect to one of the USB Type A connectors on the backpanel of the Multiplexer
marked "STA-1 IN-A". Use the normal mouse cable to connect to the female connector on the backpanel marked "STA-1
IN-B". This finishes the connection to the Multiplexer for the USB-882-KM and USB-882-KM-KS models.
(b) Connect the VGA monitor to the Multiplexer’s backpanel 15-pin HDD connector marked “STA-1 MON”. For the -KMV2
models, connect the monitors to “STA-1 MON A” and “STA-1 MON B”
(c) Repeat the above steps for Workstation #2, except connect the keyboard, mouse and monitor(s) to “STA-2” inputs.
OPERATION
1. Power Up Sequence
All MegaMux Splitter/Multiplexers are powered by an external wall plug-in supply, the VIP-210 (+5Vdc 2A reg. 110 - 240 V
ac 50 - 60 Hz). First plug the power output plug of this external supply into the mating jack on the front panel of the
Transmitter marked "+5VDC IN", and only then plug the supply into a suitable AC power source. Since the
Splitter/Multiplexers have no separate power on/off switch, it is recommended that the power supply be connected to an
AC power source that has a power on/off switch.
When the PC is powered up, you may observe random selection of the “ACTIVE STATION” leds on the front panel of the
Splitter/Multiplexer for a few seconds. This is normal. The Splitter/Multiplexer is initializing each of the input devices. The order
and final selected station depends on the response time of each device.
