PC
Each connected PC must have:
• A VGA, SVGA or Multisync card.
• A mini-DIN 6 (PS/2 style) mouse port.
• Either a mini-DIN 6 (PS/2 style) keyboard port or a DIN5 (AT style) keyboard port (see below).
Cables
One cable kit per PC to connect it to the KVM Switch (Tripp Lite Model #P754-006 or P754-010).
Note: 1) The keyboard and mouse cables in the above kit have PS/2 style connectors at each end. If your
PC has an AT style keyboard port, use AT-to-PS/2 keyboard adapter (Tripp Lite Model #P106-
000) to plug the cable into the PC's keyboard port.
2) This KVM Switch does not support serial mice.
Installation
Before you begin, make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up have been turned off.
1. Plug the keyboard, and mouse into the appropriate ports on the front of the KVM switch. Connect the monitor to the Console port located on the back of the switch.
2. Use the cables in the cable kit (see Hardware Requirements section) to connect the monitor, keyboard and mouse ports of each of the PCs to the appropriate ports on the back of the switch
3. Turn on the power to the connected PCs.
Note: The switch's Power On default links the switch to the first computer you turn on.
Operation

Manual Port Selection

Press the Port Selection buttons on the front of the KVM Switch to connect to the desired computer. The Selected LED on the front panel lights to indicate which port is active.

Hot Key Port Selection

Hot Key navigation lets you select the active PC or initiate an Auto Scan procedure directly from the keyboard
Note: All Hot Key operations begin by pressing and releasing the Alt + Ctrl + Shift keys sequentially. The
combination must all be on the same side for the keyboard (i.e., Left[Alt]+Left[Ctrl]+Left[ Shift], or Right[Alt]+Right[Ctrl]+Right[Shift]).
1. Selecting the Active Port:
Access a PC by specifying the Port ID Number as part of the Hot Key combination, as follows:
1. Press and release [Alt] then [Ctrl] then [Shift]
2. Key in the appropriate Port ID Number (1, 2, 3, or 4)
3. Press [Enter]
2. Auto Scan Mode:
Auto Scan automatically switches between PCs at regular 5 seconds intervals. To invoke the Auto Scan Mode,
1. Press and release [Alt] then [Ctrl] then [Shift]
2. Press and release 0 (zero)
3. Press [Enter] Scanning continues until the [Spacebar] is pressed to exit the Auto Scan Mode. The port that was active at the time remains active.
Note: While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, none of the other keyboard keys will function. The Auto Scan Mode must be exited in order to use the console for anything else.
3. Last/Next Mode:
The Last/Next feature allows quick switches back and forth between computers in order to monitor them manually, instead of using Auto Scan Mode. To invoke the Last/Next Mode, key in the following Hot Key combination:
1. Press and release [Alt] then [Ctrl] then [Shift]
2. Press and release 9
3. Press [Enter] Once the Last/Next Mode is active, press the Left [Shift] key to switch from the currently active PC to the previous one and press the Right [Shift] key to switch from the currently active PC to the next one.
Note: While Last/Next Mode is in effect, none of the other keyboard keys will function. The Auto Scan Mode must be exited in order to use the console for anything else.

LED Display

A lit LED identifies which PC is currently selected. A continually lit LED indicates that the switch is in the Manual Mode. A flashing LED indicates that the switch is either in the Auto Scan Mode (On and OFF flash for the same duration) or in the Last/Next Mode (ON is longer than OFF).

Wait 5 seconds; then turn the PCs on. Wrong type of mouse or adapter

Turn ON at least one PC
Change the port manually or select a port that does have a PC that is powered On.
Press each Hot Key sequentially and individually: [Alt] then [Ctrl] then [Shift] then the # then [Enter].
The switch will only work with a PS/2 mouse. A serial mouse cannot be converted to a PS/2 mouse by using a serial to PS/2 adapter. One exception is a combo-mouse which is specifically designed for both applications. In this case, ensure that the mouse is set up for PS/2 mode and is being used with the adapter originally provided. Each PC needs to be using the mouse driver correlating to the mouse connected to the console port. Some newer mice (with extra buttons and wheels) have unique drivers that may not be supported. Try a regular mouse with a generic mouse driver (like the one that comes with the operating system). The Switch supports VGA, SVGA, Multisync, and XGA (interlaced) monitors with resolutions of up to 1920x1440 Hz. The maximum bandwidth is 180 MHz.
* This Switch is designed to work with AT and PS/2 keyboards. Older XT (84 key) and some older AT keyboards (those with the function keys on the side) will not work.
** Some Notebook computers, notably the IBM Thinkpad and Toshiba Tecra, have trouble working with a switch when their mouse and keyboard ports are used simultaneously. To avoid this problem, only connect the mouse port or the keyboard port to the Switch. If you connect the mouse port, you will need to use the notebook's keyboard when the notebook is the active computer.
