2. Installation
2.1 Mounting the NetController KVM Switch
The KVM Switch can be placed on a desktop or mounted in a standard 19” rack.
2.2 Connecting Your PCs and Peripherals to a Single NetController KVM Switch
Step 1: Connect the console (shared USB or PS/2 keyboard, mouse and monitor) to the console connectors on the backside of the KVM Switch.
Note: For USB connection, separate keyboard and mouse connectors are required.
Step 2: Connect the included 9V DC power adapter cord to the KVM Switch to power it on.
Step 3: Connect each computer to the KVM Switch using a P780 Series Tripp Lite USB PS/2 KVM Cable Kit. Not included.
The KVM Switch is now ready to operate as soon as you turn on any of the attached computers.
Note: When you are connecting a PS/2 computer, it is required that the B042-004,-008 or -016 KVM Switch is connected and powered on before starting your computers. The reason is because when
your PC is booting up, the PS/2 interfaces on the connected computer have to communicate with your keyboard and mouse and get a response from them. If your KVM switch has not been running and
is connected to your computer, it might have difculty recognizing the keyboard and mouse.
2.3 Daisy-Chaining B042-Series KVM Switches
To maximize the number of connected computers, multiple B042-004,-008 or -016 KVM Switches can be daisy-chained together to connect up to a total of
128 computers (with 8 units of the B042-016 KVM Switch). The B042-Series KVM Switches that are to be daisy-chained do not have to be of the same port
capacity. You can daisy-chain any combination of B042-004,-008 or -016 KVM Switches to scale the port capacity with more flexibility. KVM controls can
then be extended to groups of computers connected on the daisy-chain of B042-Series KVM Switches.
Daisy-chain Multiple KVM Switches
Step 1: Connect the console (shared USB or PS/2 keyboard, mouse and monitor) to the console port connectors on the rear panel of the master (first)
B042-Series KVM Switch.
Step 2: Connect the power adapter cord to the DC 9V power receptacle on the master KVM Switch and plug it in to a power source.
Step 3: Use the provided daisy-chain cable—HD15 (M) to HD15 (F)—to connect the daisy-chain OUT port of the master KVM switch to the
daisy-chain IN port of the second (downstream) B042-004,-008 or -016 KVM Switch. Then connect the power adapter cord to the DC 9V
power receptacle on the second KVM Switch.
Step 4: Follow the same procedure for any additional KVM Switches you would like to attach, creating a daisy-chain up to 8 KVM Switches.
Step 5: After you have set up the Daisy-Chain of KVM Switches, plug the daisy-chain terminator into the daisy-chain OUT port of the last
KVM Switch.
Step 6: Connect each computer to the KVM Switches in your daisy-chain using a P780 series Tripp Lite USB PS/2 KVM Cable Kit. Not included.
Step 7: The KVM Switches are now ready to operate as soon as you turn on any of the attached computers.
Note: When you are connecting a PS/2 computer, it is required that the B042-004,-008 or -016 KVM Switch is connected and powered on before starting your computer. The reason for this is because
when your computer is booting up, the PS/2 interfaces on the connected computer have to communicate with your keyboard and mouse and get a response from them. If your KVM switch has not been
running and is connected to your computer, it might have difculty recognizing the keyboard and mouse.
*
It is not necessary to attach the daisy-chain terminator if you are not daisy-chaining the switch to another KVM.

3. Operation
This chapter provides general guidelines for KVM Switch operation. It is strongly recommended that you read this chapter in advance of operating your
B042-004, -008 or -016 KVM Switch.
3.1 Control Interfaces
There are three ways to operate your B042-004,-008 or -016 KVM Switch—Front-panel buttons, Keyboard Hotkeys or the OSD Menu. The operation of
these three control methods is detailed below.
3.1.1 Front-Panel Buttons
The front-panel push buttons are used to directly select the active computer channel that can be controlled by the shared keyboard, mouse and monitor.
Pressing a front-panel button during normal operation will cause the corresponding channel to be selected.
3.1.2 Keyboard Hotkeys
Hotkeys are a convenient and quick way to operate the KVM Switch. Most of the hotkey control commands are preceded by two consecutive Scroll Lock
keystrokes, followed by a specific command key or key sequence:
Hotkey control command = ScrLk* + ScrLk** + Command Key/Sequence
* Each key in a Hotkey Command must be pressed within 2 seconds of the previous key to allow the command to take place.
** User-Denable hotkey via the OSD Setup Menu. You have the option of using ScrLk, Caps Lock, Num Lock (OSD will say ‘Number’ instead of ‘Num Lock.’) or F12.
In most cases, it will take at least three keystrokes to complete a command. In certain cases, commands may require up to 6 strokes (such as when selecting
specific bank and port numbers for the active channel).
All the available hotkey commands and OSD Menu options are summarized in the following table for your convenience.

4. Upgrade Firmware
All firmware upgrades for the B042-004, -008 and -016 KVM Switches will be available in the Support Section of www.tripplite.com. (If there are no updates posted, there are none currently available.) Before downloading the firmware files, verify that the firmware version on the website is more current that
that of your KVM switch. You can find your KVM switches firmware version by navigating to the Status Page in the OSD. You can also use the Firmware
Upgrade Utility to check your firmware version. (See below) To perform a firmware upgrade on your B042-Series KVM Switch, follow these instructions.
Step 1: Using the provided Firmware Upgrade Cable, connect a standalone computer (one not already connected to the KVM Switches Server Port) to the
KVM Switch. If you have multiple KVM Switches daisy-chained together, connect the Firmware Upgrade Cable to the Master KVM Switch (the
first KVM in the daisy-chain). All KVM switches daisy-chained from the Master KVM switch will be upgraded simultaneously.
Step 2: Go to the Support section of www.tripplite.com and download the firmware upgrade utility and upgrade file.
Step 3: Before upgrading the firmware on your NetController KVM Switch, disable all running programs (anti-virus, system monitoring, etc.) on the stand-
alone computer you are using to perform the upgrade. These programs may prevent the firmware upgrade from completing successfully.
Step 4: Locate the .exe file you just downloaded and double-click on it. The KVM Upgrade Utility screen will open.
Figure 3-4: Firmware Select File Window

4. Upgrade Firmware
Step 5: Click the Select File button and find the firmware upgrade file that you just downloaded.
Step 6: If you have not yet verified your KVM Switches firmware version number via the OSD Status page, click the Check Version button. This will
compare your KVM Switches firmware to the firmware upgrade file you just downloaded. If your KVM has more recent firmware, the Firmware
Upgrade Utility will ask you if you wish to continue.
Figure 3-5: Firmware Comparison Window
If so, click the Upgrade button to start the upgrade. If not, close out of the Firmware Upgrade Utility. If your KVM Switch has older firmware than
the downloaded file, click on the Upgrade button to start the upgrade. (Upon clicking the Upgrade button, you will be notified that the video, keyboard and mouse will be locked up during the upgrade process. Click yes to continue or no to exit.)
Step 7: During the firmware upgrade process, your KVM switch console will go blank and you will not be able to use the keyboard or mouse. Functionality
will return upon firmware completion. The Firmware Upgrade Utility will notify you if the update was successful or not. If the upgrade fails, see the
Troubleshooting section below.
Figure 3-6: Firmware Upgrade Window Figure 3-7: Firmware CRC Error
Firmware Upgrade Troubleshooting
If the firmware upgrade fails due to timeout, stalls at any point for a long period of time or fails due to power outage, check to make sure all running programs (anti-virus, system monitoring, etc.) are turned off. When you have determined all programs are disabled, unplug and re-plug the firmware upgrade
cable and try the upgrade procedure again.
If you find that your keyboard and mouse are no longer working during a firmware upgrade failure, temporarily connect them to the host PC until you can
finish the upgrade. Once completed, your KVM console should again be working properly.
If you find you have continued problems, please contact Tripp Lite Technical Support at (773) 869-1234 for assistance.
