Hardware Installation

Before installation, please make sure all of peripherals and computers have been turned off.

Step 1

Now the PC connections can be made with the monitor (VGA) connections first. Connect a VGA cable (15-pin HDDB Male / Male) with the Male side to both of the PC and the rear panel of the KVM switch to the connector labeled VGA. Repeat this for all PCs.

Step 2

Connect the first computer’s mouse cable to the RA15/17KVM8. If using a PS/2 cable, connect one end to the PS/2 mouse port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1 PS/2 mouse port on the back of RA15/17KVM8. If using a serial mouse cable (optional), connect one end to a DB-9 serial port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1 DB-9 serial mouse port on the back of the RA15/17KVM8. If you need Serial DB-9 to PS2 Mini Din 6 pin adapter, please contact your supplier.

Step 3

Connect the first computer’s keyboard cable to the KVM Switch. Using another PS/2 cable connect one end to PS/2 keyboard port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1 keyboard port on the back of RA15/17KVM8. If your computer has an AT type keyboard port, you will need a PS/2 to AT keyboard adapter.

Step 4

Double-check all of the connections. You can check the color of keyboard and mouse connector to make sure the keyboard and mouse cables go to the correct ports.

Step 5

Repeat step 2 to 4 for the remainder of the computers.

Step 6

Attach the power supply to the RA15/17KVM8 unit and plug the other end into an electrical receptacle. Now you will see the LED for Port 1 light up, and you will hear a beep.

Usage

The power on state of 8-port RA15/17KVM8: When you power on the RA15/17KVM8, it will ask you for the password, the default password value is eight zero –“ 00000000 “. Please key in eight zero and enter the same value at

retype field. Note: If you are not familiar with the operation of OSD menu, please don’t change the password – i.e. keep default eight zero (00000000) value. Otherwise, if you have set the password and unfortunately forget the password, you need send it back to your distributor for maintaining the password.

7-Segment LED Indication

When you select one of eight PC ports and this PC is shut down or this PC port is disconnected to the PC, the selected port LED will flash. When you select one of eight PCs ports and this PC is powered on, the selected port LED is lit.

Please use the attached 3 feet 3-in-one daisy chain Cable Kit to daisy chain the

RA15/17KVM8.

A. Connect Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor to the console port (white color block) of bank 1

RA15/17KVM8.

B. Use one end of 3-in-one Cable Kit to connect the daisy chain port of bank 1 and the other

end for the console port (white color block) of bank 2 RA15/17KVM8.

C. Please repeat item B to daisy chain more bank as you want. But, the maximum daisy chain

bank is eight.

D. Before chaining the slave bank up to six banks, you need a VGA extender (Model No.

VGA-100, Max. 100 feet ) between the fifth bank and the sixth bank to enhance the VGA

signal.

Hot Plug

The RA15/17KVM8 supports “Hot Plug“ function for easy addition or removal of PCs. The user can arrange or maintain PCs as follows:

a. A PC can be disconnected and reconnected to the same or different port of the

RA15/17KVM8 unit without having to power it off as long as it is not the Daisy-chain port or pass through port.

b. You may unplug the mouse or the keyboard from the console port and plug it back in at any

time.

OTICE

Some O.S. (Operation Systems) like SCO Unix are unable to support “ Hot Plug ” function. If you apply “Hot Plug” to this kind of O.S., it will cause unpredictable behavior or shut down the PC. Before attempting to use “ Hot Plug ” , please make sure your O.S. and software driver supports the “Hot Plug” function.

Troubleshooting

1. Ensure that all cables are well seated. Label all of cables with the number for each respective computer to avoid confusion.

2. The recommended VGA cable distance is 5 meters maximum without ghosting and degradation. Normally, the cable length is based on driver capacity of your VGA card. If you need longer VGA cable, please use VGA extender to accomplish your applications.

3. The recommended PS2 cable distance is 5 meters maximum. Normally, the cable length is based on driver capacity of your motherboard PS2 port. If you need longer PS2 cable, please use PS2 extender to accomplish your applications.

4. Don’t press any keys on the keyboard while the selected computer is booting up. Otherwise, it might cause the keyboard error or keyboard is not detected at PC side.

5. The computer boot up fine, but keyboard doesn’t work

z Make sure the keyboard port works on the computer. z Try a independent keyboard with the computer

6. The Mouse is not detected during PC boot up.

z Make sure the mouse port works on the computer. z Try a independent mouse with the computer. z Avoiding moving the mouse or pressing the mouse buttons when switching ports. z Avoiding switching ports during shutting down the PC process. z When you switch one PC port to another PC port, the best scan time setting need to be set

at 5 sec. or more. Normally, the VGA monitor change one resolution mode to another will take a few seconds.

7. If forgetting the “ password ” you typed, please contact your supplier.

Troubleshooting

1. Ensure that all cables are well seated. Label all of cables with the number for each

respective computer to avoid confusion.

2. The recommended VGA cable distance is 5 meters maximum without ghosting and

degradation. Normally, the cable length is based on driver capacity of your VGA card. If you need longer VGA cable, please use VGA extender (Model No. VGA-100, MAX. 100 feet ) to accomplish your applications.

3. The recommended PS2 cable distance is 5 meters maximum. Normally, the cable length is

based on driver capacity of your motherboard PS2 port. If you need longer PS2 cable, please use PS2 extender ( Model No. PS2-100, MAX. 100 feet ) to accomplish your applications.

4. The Power Jack polarity is center positive and the power adapter need be DC12V, 1A or

DC9V, 1A.

5. Don’t press any keys on the keyboard while the selected computer is booting up. Otherwise,

it might cause the keyboard error or keyboard is not detected at PC side.

6. The computer boot up fine, but keyboard doesn’t work

z Make sure the keyboard works when directly plugged into the computer. z Try a different keyboard, but use only 101, 102 or 104-key keyboard.

7. The Mouse is not detected during PC boot up.

z Make sure the mouse works when directly plugged into the computer. z Make sure the mouse is a true PS/2 mouse. A combo mouse will work just as long as it is

set for PS/2 mode with the correct adapter. Try a different mouse.

z Avoiding moving the mouse or pressing the mouse buttons when switching ports. z Avoiding switching ports during shutting down the PC process. z When you switch one PC port to another PC port, the best scan time setting need to be set

to 5 sec. or more. Normally, the VGA monitor change one resolution mode to another will take one or two seconds. So, the scan time is not recommended to below 5 seconds.

8. The power switch is off, but the switch still works fine or power adapter is unplugged from the

switch, but the switch still works fine. RA15/17KVM16 unit draws the power source from power adapter and all PC’s PS2 port. Some PC’s PS2 port can support enough power for the switch, but some PC’s PS2 port ( like laptop, notebook computer…etc.) is unable to supply enough power for the switch. In order to make sure the system can work steadily, please do not set power switch to off state or remove the power adapter from the switch.

Although the PCs connected to RA15/17KVM16 unit are able to support enough power to the stand alone switch, RA15/17KVM16 unit still needs a power adapter for daisy chain more banks.
