Overview
The CS62T improves on prior models in the Petite series, by
combining a 2-port KVM switch with a mouse port that can serve
as a USB hub, enabling it to provide USB peripheral sharing and
USB file sharing* between the connected computers – ideal for
syncing files and folders between portable and desktop
computers.

computer selection – allowing you to control port switching from
the desktop while the switch can be placed in a convenient, out
of the way, location – provide the ultimate in desktop KVM
switching convenience, and features.
Featuring an unbeatable combination of USB peripheral sharing,
USB file management, audio support for multimedia, and userfriendly operation, the CS62T offers the utmost in desktop KVM
switching functionality.

File Management
The files and drivers necessary for performing file management
operations are built into the CS62T’s firmware. The first time you
plug the file transfer USB cables into your computers, Windows
finds and installs them. When you open the Windows file
Explorer, two new “drives” appear: ATEN FM, and Virtual Link.
Note: Virtual Link simply provides a buffer for the file management
utility; it performs no other function.
To perform file management operations, click the File
Management icon on both computers.
Note: If the file management main screen doesn’t appear, click the file
management executable file that appears in the folder that
comes up.
The file management main screen appears:
The main screen offers two operations: File Transfer and File
Sync, as described in the sections that follow.
Note: 1. File Transfer and File Sync cannot be activated on a single PC
or on both the console and remote PCs at the same time.
2. For the best file transfer performance, the recommended
system memory capacity is 4GB or above.
- 14 -
File Transfer
To perform file transfer operations, click the File Transfer button
on the main screen. A folder containing the files on the opposite
computer’s desktop appears on your screen:
This folder works just like any other folder on your system. You
can drag and drop files and folders to and from this folder just as
if it were a folder that originated on your system.
To navigate to other files and folders on the opposite
computer, click the button just to the left of the folder name.
To add a new folder under the current one, click the plus sign
(+) at the right of the folder name bar.
- 15 -
File Sync
File Sync allows you sync entire folders between the two
computers. The File Sync screen allows you to set up the files/
folders you want to sync:
Each File Sync operation is called a task. To begin sync
operations:
1. Click the + button at the upper left to add a task.
2. If you want to, give the task a name, key the name in the Task
Name field.
3. Select the task type (Folder Sync is the default).
4. Navigate to the desired folder on the Port 1 PC.
5. Navigate to the desired folder on the Port 2 PC.
6. Select your sync choice:
Merge the two folders. In other words, copy the files from the Port
1 folder to the Port 2 folder, and copy the files from the Port 2
folder to the Port 1 folder – so that both folders are the same, and
both contain all the files that were originally on each of them
separately.
Copy the files from the Port 1 folder to the Port 2 folder, but do not
copy the files from the Port 2 folder to the Port 1 folder.
Copy the files from the Port 2 folder to the Port 1 folder, but do not
copy the files from the Port 1 folder to the Port 2 folder.
- 16 -
7. Once you have made your selections, click Sync This Task, at
the top right of the screen.
If you like, you can set up more than one task. Each one appears
as a list entry in the left panel.
To run the tasks one by one, first select the desired task in the
left panel, then click Sync This Task, at the top right of the
screen.
To run them all at the same time, click the triangle button (at
the right of the + button) at the top left of the screen.
To remove a task, first select the desired task in the left panel,
then click Remove This Task, at the top right of the screen.
Note: This utility has online help to guide you through each of
the procedures.
