• A VGA, SVGA, or Multisync monitor capable of the highest resolution that you will be using on any computer in the installation

When Connecting a USB Computer

1. Connect a USB-to-PS/2 adapter (Tripp Lite Model: B015-000) to the USB port on your computer. This will convert the single USB port into a PS/2 keyboard port and PS/2 mouse port.

2. Follow the instructions on the opposite page for “When Connecting a PS/2 Computer.”

STEP 3) Turn On Your Computers

Operation (Hot Key Port Selection)

Hot Key navigation lets you select the active PC or initiate an Auto Scan procedure directly from the keyboard.

1. Selecting the Active Port: Option 1: Toggle between PCs by pressing and

releasing the [Scroll Lock] key twice, then pressing the “ ” or “ ” key.

Option 2: Select a specific PC by pressing and releasing the [Scroll Lock] key twice, then pressing the [1] key* to connect to port 1 or the [2] key* to connect to port 2.

* Note: To connect to the ports, you must use the

number keys located above the letter keys on the keyboard. Do not use the number keys grouped together on the numeric keypad located on the right side of the keyboard.

Installation

Before you begin, make sure that the power to all PCs being connected to the KVM switch has been turned off.

NOTE: To prevent damage to your installation due to

ground potential difference, make sure that all devices on the installation are properly grounded.

STEP 1) Connecting the Console

1. With all computers turned off, connect the cable from your VGA monitor to the female VGA port on the front panel of the KVM switch.

2. Connect your PS/2 keyboard and mouse directly into the PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports on the front panel of the KVM switch.

STEP 2) Connecting a Computer

The KVM switch has two cable kits (each with a keyboard, monitor and mouse connection) permanently attached to the rear of the switch. Use one kit for each computer. The kits are labeled “Port 1” and “Port 2”; both ports have a corresponding LED on the top of the switch that signifies when the port is selected.

When Connecting a PS/2 Computer

1. Connect the monitor connector (blue, with video icon) of one cable kit to the VGA port on your computer.

2. Connect the PS/2 mouse connector (green, with mouse icon) of the same cable kit to the mouse port on your computer.

3. Connect the PS/2 keyboard connector (purple, with keyboard icon) of the same cable kit to the keyboard port on your computer.

If you are experiencing problems, first make sure that there are no cable problems. Check all cable connections.

2. Auto Scan Mode:

Auto Scan** automatically switches between PCs at regular 10 second intervals. To invoke the Auto Scan Mode, press and release the [Scroll Lock] key twice, then press and release the [0] key. Scanning continues until the [spacebar] is pressed to exit the Auto Scan Mode. The port that was active when the [spacebar] was pressed 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.

Problem Cause Solution

Mouse Not Responding*

Mouse needs to be reset

Unplug the mouse from the Switch, then plug it back in.

Switch needs to be reset

Turn off the PCs. Wait 5 seconds; then turn the PCs on.

Wrong type of mouse or adapter

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.

Unsupported or incorrect mouse driver

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).

Video Problems

Resolution and/or Bandwidth set too high

The Switch supports VGA, SVGA, Multisync, and XGA (interlaced) monitors with resolutions of up to 2048 x 1536 Hz.

Switched between PCs during boot-up procedure

Shut down the PC and reboot without switching between PCs.

* 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. These switches are designed to work with PS/2 keyboards. Older XT (84 key) and AT keyboards will not work.
