Introduction
The
LKV-248AUSK
provides Audio&Mic
switching
to
offer
you uninterrupted multimedia experience with KVM Switching.
With its multi-platform support for PC and Macintosh G3/G4,
iMAC, this KVM Switch allows you to
access,
control,
boot
and
reboot
multiple
USB-enabled
multimedia
computers
using only one keyboard, video, mouse
and a speaker set
and microphone
. Built-in with a 4-port USB Hub, it is designed
specifically for sharing your USB keyboard, mouse and other
USB devices with four USB-enabled PCs.
Before you install
The default setting of
LKV-248AUSK
is appropriate for most
systems.
In fact, you do not need to configure the
KVM
Switch
before
installation.
Yet particular caution has to be
taken before installation:
If you do not want to use PS/2 keyboard/m ouse and want to use U SB
keyboard/m ouse instead, you m ight need to disable the PS/2 option and
enable the USB option in the BIOS setting of your PC, especially when
som e older com puters m ight not be able to autom atically detect the input
devices.
U SB keyboard user m ust note:
if you use a USB keyboard
instead of a PS/2 one,
you will not be able to utilize the hotkey
function
. In order to use the hotkey function fully, it is recom m ended to
use a PS/2 keyboard. Also you have to
“sync” your hub port control
and PC port selection (i.e. green PC port LED and red U SB hub
port LED should be aligned) so that your PC can find your USB
keyboard and m ouse
.
Take the KVM Switch out of the box and begin installation….
If you are connecting w ith any com pute r using PS/2
interface, DO NO T TRY
to connect the KVM Switch to the com puters
while the com p uters are still in powered-on states. Otherwise, the
com p uter will have difficulty recognizing your shared keyboard and
m ouse. H owever, if you are connecting it all with U SB-enab led com puters,
there is no such lim itation since it is hot-pluggable.
S tep 1.
M ake sure all the computers that are to be connected to the KVM
Switch and their peripherals are in powered-off state. If not,
power them off before you proceed with the following steps. (If
you are connecting with com pute rs using the PS/2 interface)
S tep 2.
Connect the shared PS/2 (or USB) keyboard, m ouse and m onitor
and a speaker set and microphone
as well as other shared
USB devices to the KVM switch.
Also it is reco m m e nded to
connect the external p ow er adapter to your K V M S w itch, if
you intend to use U S B hub ports for bigger devices.
S tep 3.
Connect each of your com puters to the KVM switch, using only
our Slim 3-in-1 com bo KVM cable, USB (Type A-to-Type B)
cable and audio & Mic cables (see the pictures below).
