The Control Panel
The KN2116A /KN2132 / KN4116 / KN4132
has a hidden control panel, located at the
bottom center of the screen. The panel
becomes visible when the mouse pointer
moves over it.
Mouse DynaSync is only available for Windows and Mac (OS4.0 or higher). Systems connected
to the KN2116A / KN2132 / KN4116 / KN4132 with a KA9170 and KA7170 KVM Adapter,
and whose adapter attribute OS setting is configured for Win or Mac All other configurations
must use manual mouse synchronization. These procedures are to be performed on the
computers attached to the KN2116A / KN2132 / KN4116 / KN4132's ports - not on the
computer you are using to access the KN2116A /KN2132 / KN4116 / KN4132.
Windows Systems:
Note: You must use the generic mouse driver supplied with Windows.
• XP / Server 2003 -- middle position; Enhance pointer precision: off
• 2000 / ME -- Mouse motion: middle position; Acceleration: off
• NT / 98 / 95 -- Mouse speed: slowest
Sun / Linux Systems:
Open a terminal session and issue the following command:
• Sun: xset m 1
• Linux: xset m 0
The Control Panel consists of an icon bar at the top, with two text bars below it. The upper text
bar shows the remote display's video resolution; the lower bar shows the remote IP address at the
left and the bus that the logged in user is on at the center. Information about the functions that the
Control Panel items perform appears when you move the mouse over them.
The functions that the icons perform are described in the table below:
Port Access
Click on a port in the left panel to switch to that port. The OSD provides a toolbar to help you
control the KN2116A /KN2132 / KN4116 / KN4132 from within the captured port. To bring up
the toolbar, tap the OSD Hotkey (Scroll Lock), twice. The toolbar appears at the upper left corner
of the screen.
• Information about the functions that the Toolbar items perform appears when you move the
mouse over them.
• To dismiss the toolbar and bring back the Port Access page, tap the OSD Hotkey once.

Refer to the connection diagrams for connection examples as you do the following:
1. Plug your Local Console’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the unit’s Console Ports. Each
port is color coded and marked with an appropriate icon
Note: 1. You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse connections. For example,
you can use a PS/2 keyboard with a USB mouse.
2. USB keyboards and mice can plug into the USB ports on the front panel, as well as
into the ports in the console port section.
3. The KN2116A / KN2132 / KN4116 / KN4132 does not support distances that
exceed 20m between itself and the local monitor.
2. Use Cat. 5e/6 cable to connect any available KVM port to a KVM Adapter Cable that is
appropriate for the server you are installing.
Note: The distance between the KN2116A / KN2132 / KN4116 / KN4132 and the KVM
Adapter Cable must not exceed 40m.
3. Plug the connectors on the KVM Adapter Cable into the appropriate ports of the server you
are installing.
4. Plug a cable from the LAN or WAN into the KVM Over the NET™ switch primary network
interface socket.
5. (Optional) Plug another cable from the LAN or WAN into the KVM Over the NET™ switch
backup (secondary) network interface socket.
6. (Optional) Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect the KVM Over the NET™ switch PON port to an
SA0142 Adapter. Connect the Adapter to the PON IN port of a PN0108 Power Over the Net™
unit.
7. (Optional) Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect the KVM Over the NET™ switch Modem port to
an SA0142 Adapter. Connect the Adapter’s serial connector to the modem’s DB-9 port.
8. Use the grounding wire supplied with this package to ground the unit by connecting one end
of the wire to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded
object.
9. Plug the power cord(s) supplied with this package into the KVM Over the NET™ switch
power socket, and then into an AC power source.
After the KN2116A / KN2132 / KN4116 / KN4132 is cabled up you can turn on the power.
After it is powered up, you can turn on the servers.
Once the KN2116A / KN2132 / KN4116 /
KN4132 has been cabled up, the Super
Administrator needs to set the unit up for user
operation using the local console. When the local
console has been connected up and the KN2116A
/ KN2132 / KN4116 / KN4132 turned on, a login
