Introduction
Overview
The CS1953 3-Port USB-C DisplayPort Hybrid KVMP™ Switch combines
KVM switch with DisplayPort video interface, one USB-C device and 2-port
USB 3 1 Gen 1 hub The DisplayPort interface provides 4K DCI @ 60 Hz
resolution that displays the most vivid high-definition images available while
producing premium sounds In addition, the CS1953 provides USB-C device
power delivery 3 0 standard for power supply to the USB-C device
The CS1953 allows users to access two DisplayPort computers and one USB-
C device from a single USB keyboard and USB mouse In addition to the front
panel pushbuttons, remote port selector, and mouse port-switching
functionality, the CS1953 offers hotkeys to help switch ports and configure
device settings A Power On Detection feature also ensures that if one
computer is powered off, the CS1953 will automatically switch ports to the
next powered-on computer
With a built-in USB 3 1 Gen 1 hub, the CS1953 provides SuperSpeed 5 Gbps
transfer rates to all connected USB peripherals The unit’s independent
(asynchronous) switching feature, allows the KVM focus to be on one
computer while the USB peripheral focus is on another computer This
eliminates the need to purchase a separate USB hub or stand-alone peripheral
sharer – such as a print server, modem splitter, etc
Featuring an unbeatable combination of ultra high 4K resolutions, a next
generation USB 3 1 Gen 1 hub and enhanced, user-friendly operations, the
CS1953 delivers the latest innovations in desktop KVM switching technology

To set up your installation, refer to the installation diagram on the following
page (the numbers in the diagram on page 11 correspond to the steps below),
and do the following:
1 Ground the CS1953 by connecting one end of a grounding wire to the
grounding terminal and the other end to a suitable grounded object
Note: Do not omit this step Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from power surges or static electricity
2 Plug your USB keyboard and USB mouse into the USB console ports from
the console ports section located on the unit’s rear panel
3 Plug your monitor into the DisplayPort console port from the console ports
section located on the unit’s rear panel and power on the monitor
1 Important safety information regarding the placement of this
device is provided on page 39 Please review it before
proceeding
2 To prevent damage to your installation from power surges or
static electricity It is important that all connected devices are
properly grounded
3 Make sure that power to all the devices you will be installing has
been turned off You must unplug the power cords of any
computers that have the Keyboard Power On function
4 Please operate the device with caution when under high
environmental temperatures, as the surface of the device may
become overheated under such conditions For instance, the
surface temperature of the device may reach 70 °C (158 °F) or
higher when the environmental temperature reaches close 50 °C
(122 °F)
