INT-503907/503914-UM-0808-01

Thank you for purchasing this INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™
Cat5 KVM Switch, Model 503907 (8-port) or Model 503914 (16-port).
Designed for computer/server management, this rackmount device
provides dual-console access for up to 64 (8-port) or 128 (16-port)
computers using cost-effective Cat5e/6 cabling.

With dual-console control, administrators can work at a second location
if the need arises, and share the same video and keyboard/mouse control

with the local console. And not only are Cat5e/6 cables more exible
and less expensive, they can provide connection distances of up to

100 meters (330 feet), allowing the management of a data center from
locations throughout a building.

The instructions in this user manual make installation and operation

relatively simple, so you’ll soon be enjoying the benets of these

additional features:

• USB and PS/2 interface support on PC side

• PS/2 interface support on console side

• Pop-up on-screen display (OSD) menu

• Dedicated port to cascade up to 8 units, controlling up to 128 computers
when cascading to 16-port model 503914 or 64 computers when
cascading to 8-port model 503907

• Bank/channel selection and operation using keyboard hotkeys and
OSD menu

• Uses computer connection dongles (not included) for each port
(Model 503921 for PS/2; Model 503938 for USB)

• Remote console connection via Remote Console Unit (503983)

• Local console connection with PS/2 connectors

• Local console can activate or deactivate the remote console

• Numerical LED display and LED indicators for easy bank/port status
monitoring

• Auto-Scan period programmable via OSD menu option

• Password protection

• Auto-logout timeout support

• Includes 19” rackmount brackets

Setup/Installation

CAUTION: Before connecting to the Cat5 KVM Switch, all PS/2
computers should be powered off unless the PS/2 interface has already
been initialized and operating; otherwise, the switch system might not
be properly set up. USB computers do not have this limitation.

1. Connect the shared keyboard, mouse and monitor to the console
connectors on the rear of your (master) Cat5 KVM Switch. Power on
the switch by connecting and plugging in the power adapter cord.
NOTE: If using a single Cat5 KVM Switch in a non-cascaded application,
go directly to Step 4. To daisy-chain switches, continue to Step 2. You
can daisy-chain up to 8 levels of Cat5 KVM Switches, with as many as
64 (8-port) or 128 (16-port) computers connected.

2. Use the enclosed daisy-chain cable (HD15 male to female) to connect
the female Daisy Chain Out port of the master (rst) switch to the male
Daisy Chain In port of the second switch. Connect the power adapter
cord to the second switch to power it on.

3. If you have yet another switch to be daisy-chained, just repeat Step 2
to connect them. You can daisy-chain up to 8 units of KVM switches.
Plug a terminator onto the Daisy Chain Out port of the last unit. (No
terminator required if only using a single unit.)

4. With the Cat5 KVM switch — or daisy-chained switches — powered
up and initialized, use an INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS Dongle
for Cat5 KVM Switch (Model 503938 for USB; Model 503921 for PS/2)
to connect the computer(s) to a computer port or ports on the rear of
the switch(es). NOTE: If using a PS/2 dongle, connect to the mouse
port before the keyboard port for a proper initializing sequence.

5. Power up the connected computer(s). Each keyboard and mouse will
be recognized and you can begin operating the switch(es)

Operation

There are two ways to select a specic computer (on a specic switch,

if you have daisy-chained switches): using hotkey sequences (see the
Quick Reference Sheet on Page 9) or the OSD Main menu (below).

Keyboard Hotkeys

A keyboard hotkey sequence consists of at least three specic keystrokes:
ScrLk + ScrLk + Command key(s). If you prefer a preceding sequence
other than two consecutive Scroll Locks:
