Hardware Installation

Before installing the KVM Switch, please make sure all of peripherals and computers have been turned off.

1. Install the Switch in a fairly cool and dry place; see “Technical Specifications” section for the acceptable operating temperature and humidity ranges. The installation site must be free from strong electroma gnetic field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight. Install the Switch on a sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in a standard EIA 19” equipment rack. To mount the Switch on the rack, install the included mounting brackets to the sides of the Switch, secure them with the screws, and then mount the Switch to the rack with the hardware provided by the rack manufacturer.

2. Connect the Power Adapter to the power outlet and then connect the power connector to Switch’s DC 12V jack.

3. Connect the Keyboard, VGA, and M ouse cables to the KVM Switch’s “Computer Ports” (starts from “Computer 1” port) and the Computers’ Keyboard, VGA, and Mouse ports.

4. Connect the Keyboard, VGA monitor, and Mouse to the KVM Switch’s “Console Port”.

5. Power on the KVM Switch and the computers.

Daisy-Chain

You can daisy -chain eight TK-####R series KVM Switches together. To connect more then one TK-####R series KVM Switches together, turn off all computers and Switches, use the included daisy -chain cable, connect one end of the connectors to the Switches “Daisy -Chain In” Port and then connect the other end of the connectors to the other Switches “Console Port”.

Note: Please don’t press the KVM Switch’s “Port Select” and “Bank Select” buttons or run hot-key function when the computers are booting up.

Usage

The power on state of the KVM switch:

After powering on the KVM switch, the LED display shows “Bank No.” 1 (solid) and “Port No.” 01 (Flashing). If there is a computer connected to “Computer 1” port, the Monitor shows the status of Computer 1 with a “status bar” asking you to enter the password. The default password is eight zeros (i.e. 00000000). Please key in eight zeros (by using the number keys above the letter keys) and press “Enter”, the Switch will beep once, confirming the login, and the “Port No.” 01 LEDs will stop flashing. If “Computer 1” port is not connected to a computer, the monitor will be blank, press the “Port Select” button once to select the next channel (port). Keep pushing the button until the connected computer is selected and you can then enter the password to login.

Note: Please do not change the password until you are familiar with the operation of OSD Menu. After

setting the new password, the eight -zero default password will no longer work. If you forget the password, you need to send the unit back to your distributor for factory reset. Performing the factory reset will set all the settings in the Switch back to their default values.

The Push Buttons

“Port Select” button:

Press this button once to move from one “Computer Port” to the next (see the illustrations below). If the Switches are daisy-chain together, only the Master KVM Switch’s “Port Select” button is functional. The Master KVM Switch is the first Switch of the daisy -chain, it has Keyboard, Monitor, and Mouse connected to its “Console Port”. To select different Computer Port on the Slave Switch, from the Master Switch, push the “Bank Select” button to select the desired Slave Switch (Bank) and then push the “Port Select” button to select the Computer Port. The “Bank No.” and “Port No.” LED Display on the Master Switch will be the same as the LED Display on the selected Slave Switch.

Troubleshooting

Precautions:

a. Ensure that all cables are well seated. b. Label all cables properly to avoid confusion. c. The Power Jack polarity is center positive and the power adapter output is DC12V, 1A (or DC9V, 1A). d. Don’t press any keys on the keyboard while the computer is booting up. Otherwise, it might cause the

keyboard error or keyboard is not detected error.

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

Make sure the keyboard works when directly plugged into the computer.

?? Try a different keyboard, but use only 101, 102 or 104-key keyboard.

Page 13

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

Make sure the mouse works when directly plugged into the computer.

?? Make sure the mouse is a true PS/2 mouse. A combo mouse will work, as long as it is set to PS/2 mode

and the correct adapter was used.

?? Avoid moving the mouse or pressing the mouse’s buttons when switching from port to port.

Avoid switching ports when the PC is shutting down.

?? When you switch from one PC port to another PC port, the best scan time interval is 5 seconds

or more. Normally, it takes a couple of seconds for the VGA monitor changes from one resolution mode to another. So, it is not recommended to set the scan interval time to below 5 seconds.
