To alternate between computers, you use hot-key commands.

Hot-Key Commands

A keyboard hot-key command consists of three keystrokes:

Hot-Key command = ScrLk + ScrLk + Command key(s)

After pressing the ScrLk key, you have 2 seconds to press the ScrLk key again.
You then have another 2 seconds to press a command key. If you do not press
a key within 2 seconds, the switch will exit hot-key mode.

Troubleshooting

Where is the power supply? I did not find one in the box.

Q1:

The TK-208K does not require a power supply. It draws power from

A1:

your computer's PS/2 connections. As long as your KVM switch is connected to
the PS/2 port, it will receive the necessary power to function.

I have the KVM switch connected properly, but my keyboard and mouse don't

Q2:

work.

Please make sure your PS/2 port is working properly by testing it with your

A2:

other PS/2 devices. Once you confirm that the PS/2 port is functional, please
reboot your computers, and try to use the KVM switch again.

Can I connect and disconnect the PS/2 cables while the computers are turned

Q3:

on?

Yes, you can connect or disconnect the PS/2 cables while the computers are

A3:

turned on because the PS/2 interface is Plug-and-Play and Hot-Pluggable.

Will the KVM switch remember the keyboard settings between computers?

Q4:

Yes, the KVM switch will remember the keyboard settings when switching

A4:

between your computers. (i.e.: Cap lock, Num key, etc.)

How do I switch from one computer to another with the KVM switch?

Q5:

You may switch between PCs by pressing the Push button on the KVM switch

A5:

or by using the Hot-Key commands.

If you have further questions, please contact TRENDnet’s Technical Support
Department.
