Avocent SwitchView DVI User manual

NOTE: The default setting of the SwitchView
DVI switch is appropriate for most systems.
You do not need to configure the switch
before installation. You should power off your
computers before beginning installation.
Connecting power
Connect the external power supply to the
SwitchView DVI switch.
NOTE: If you do not use a USB device on
any of the USB 2.0 hub ports or hub ports
connected on a USB keyboard, the switch will
function via the USB self-power. The switch
receives power from the USB interface and
is instantly powered up when you connect
the switch to a PC. If using a USB device
other than a keyboard or mouse, plug in the
external power adaptor.
Connecting your peripherals
Connect your keyboard, monitor and mouse
into the console connectors on the rear of your
SwitchView DVI switch.
Connecting your computers
Connect each of your computers to the
SwitchView DVI switch using the DVI-I video
cable, USB cable (Type A to Type B) and audio
and mic cables provided.
Powering up your system
Power up the the connected computers, ensuring
that the keyboard and mouse are enabled. The
green LED indicates PC port status (solid green =
active port, flashing green = PC not connected).
The red LED indicates the hub port control status.
When lit it indicates which PC port has control of
all of the hub ports and their connected devices (if
USB LED 1 is red, PC port 1 has control).
