Out-of-the-box Installation
Take the KVM Switch out of the box and begin
installation...
If you are using any PS/2 computer:
Please make sure
all of your PS/2 computers should be powered off before
connecting to the KVM Switch. Otherwise, the KVM Switch system
might not be properly set up. However, USB computers do not
have this limitation.
Step 1.
Make sure (at least the PS/2) computers that are to be
connected to the KVM switch are powered off. If not,
power them off before you proceed with the following
steps.
Step 2.
Connect the shared keyboard, mouse and monitor to the
console connectors on the rear of your (master) KVM
switch. Power on the KVM Switch by attaching the
power adapter cord.
Although the power is constantly fed through the USB or PS/2
interface from the connected computer, it is still necessary to use
the external power adapter for more stable OSD operation and the
cascaded application. Without external power source, the stability
of the KVM system might be compromised.
If you use only a single KVM switch in non-cascaded
application, you should ignore step 3, 4 and 5 and jump directly to
step 5.
If you want to daisy-chain multiple KVM Switches, go to
step 3. You can daisy-chain up to 16 levels of KVM Switches with a
maximum of 256 computers connected.
Step 3.
Use the daisy-chain cable (M-HDB15-HDB15-F) to
connect the
DaisyChain Out Port
(HDB 15 female) of
the master KVM Switch to the
DaisyChain IN Port
(HDB
15 male) of the second KVM switch. Connect the power
adapter cord to the second switch to power it on.
Step 4.
If you have yet another switch to be daisy-chained, just
repeat Step 3 to connect them. You can daisy-chain up
to 16 units of KVM switches.
Plug a terminator onto
the Daisy-chain Out Port of the last KVM switch unit.
Step 5.
(
Now your KVM switch or daisy-chained KVM Switches
should have been powered-up and initialized….
)
Connect each of your computers to a computer port on
the rear of the switch(es). You should use the special
USB PS/2 KVM cable (C-KVM-SC6/10/15) either for
connection to a USB computer or a PS/2 computer.
The special KVM cable provides a PS/2 keyboard connector, a
USB connector and a HDB video connector for the computer
connection. When connecting with a USB computer, just plug the
USB connector to it and leave the PS/2 connector free. When
connecting with a PS/2 computer, just add one USB-to-PS/2
adapter to the USB connector and you’ll have a PS/2 connector for
mouse.
Do not connect USB connector and PS/2 keyboard
connector to a computer at the same time.
Step 6
. Power up the connected computers. After your computer is
powered up the keyboard and mouse will be recognized
and now you can begin operating the switch.
