User Guidance & Precautions
Please read the following User Guidance & Precautions carefully
before using the product:
1. As product powers-up it performs a self-test procedure. In
case of self- test failure for any reason, including jammed
buttons, the product will be Inoperable. Self-test failure will
be indicated by the following abnormal LED behavior:
a. All channel-select LEDs will be turned ON and
then OFF;
b. A specific, predefined LED combination will be
turned ON;
c. The predefined LED combination will indicate the
problem type (jammed buttons, firmware integrity).
Try to power cycle product. If problem persists please
contact your system administrator or technical support.
2. Product power-up and RFD behavior:
a. By default, after product power-up, the active
channel will be computer #1, indicated by the
applicable front panel push button LED lit.
b. Product Restore-to-Factory-Default (RFD) function is
available via a physical control button on rear panel.
Use a sharp object or paper clip to hold RFD button
pressed for several seconds to initiate an RFD action.
c. RFD action will be indicated by front panel LEDs
blinking all together.
d. When product boots after RFD, keyboard and mouse
will be mapped to the active channel #1 and default
settings will be restored, erasing all user-set
definitions.
3. The appropriate usage of peripherals (e.g. keyboard, mouse,
display, authentication device) is described in detail in this
User Manual's appropriate sections. Do not connect any
authentication device with an external power source to
product.
4. For security reasons products do not support wireless
keyboards and mice. In any case do not connect wireless
keyboard/mouse to product.
5. For security reasons products do not support
microphone/line-in audio input. In any case do not connect a
microphone to product audio output port, including
headsets.
6. Product is equipped with always-on active anti-tampering
system. Any attempt to open product enclosure will activate
the anti-tamper system indicated by all channel-select LEDs
flashing continuously. In this case, product will be inoperable
and warranty void. If product enclosure appears disrupted or
if all channel-select LEDs flash continuously, please remove
product from service immediately and contact technical
support.
7. In case a connected device is rejected in the console port
group the user will have the following visual indications:
a. When connecting a non-qualified keyboard, the
keyboard will be non-functional with no visible
keyboard strokes on screen when using the
keyboard.
b. When connecting a non-qualified mouse, the mouse
will be non-functional with mouse cursor frozen on
screen.

Section 1 - Introduction
General
The KM Configuration utility is a web based tool that allows system
administrators to define custom displays' setup and create a custom
KM configuration file.
The KM configuration file (kmc extension) will later be loaded to a KM
that will be configured accordingly.
There are many cases where a single computer user needs to work
simultaneously with few computers. In some cases users may have
multiple displays attached to each of these multiple computers. The
challenge is how a single user can interact with multiple computers
having multiple displays. KVMs would not do a good job for these
users as they were designed to switch displays as well. KM switch is
a device that switches a single set of keyboard and mouse between
multiple computers. KM switch is essentially a KVM switch without
the video switching - all displays are continuously connected to their
computers.
Using KM Configuration Utility administrators can define any number
of displays connected to each computer with different or identical
sizes and screen resolutions. The displays can be deployed in any
physical layout. The KM Configuration Utility also allows removal of
unneeded bridges between displays.
Before You Begin
The KM Configuration Utility can be accessed via web using
administrator login.
1.1. Supported Browsers:
Google Chrome –20.x or above
Microsoft Internet Explorer –
Firefox
1.2. Supported Operating Systems:
Windows XP –All versions
Windows Vista –All versions
Windows 7 –All versions
A KM configuration file is based on the number of computers that will
be connected to the KM and the number of displays each computer
will have connected to it. Make sure you know the sizes and native
display resolution of all displays connected to all computers that will
eventually be connected to that KM switch. Accurate data entry is
essential to enable proper user experience with the KM switch.

Section 2 - Configuration
Step 1 –Create a new Project
Each KM configuration file is called a “KM Configuration Project”. For
every setup you will be required to create a new project.
At any point during the wizard the administrator can click “Back” and
return to the previous stage.
Click on “New Project”
Figure 1 –Launching a new KM Configuration Project
Step 2 –Enter Project Details
Please enter the requested information in the following manner:
Project Name –The name can be a combination of English
characters and numbers. It is advised to use a name that will
reflect the configuration for example: “Dealer 3 5 displays”,
“Generic Workstation 7”. The project name can be read from
the KM after loading.
Product Model –The product model can be found on the
back sticker of the KM switch. Each KM port can support up
to 4 connected displays.
Mouse Speed –This is the default mouse cursor speed for all
systems. Note that changes in the mouse speed at each
computer will not affect the resulted KM mouse speed. If
value is unknown –leave 5 (default) and try it.
Mouse Acceleration –Set the mouse cursor acceleration
value (the rate at which cursor speed is increasing). Note that
changes in the mouse acceleration at each computer will not
affect the resulted KM mouse acceleration. If value is
unknown –leave 5 (default) and try it.
Number of Computers –The total numbers of computers
that will be connected to the KM switch for this
configuration.
Click “Next Step” once done entering data.

Section 2 - Configuration
Figure 1 –KM Project Setup screen capture
Step 3 –Enter Description
Add a textual description that will explain the project. The description
will appear in the configuration file (.kmc) and can help explain the
configuration when accessed later or when accessed by other people.
Step 4 –Computer/Displays Setup
In this stage the administrator will define the number and type of
displays connected to each computer as defined is step 2.
For every computer define the number of displays connected to the
computer by selecting it from the drop down menu “Number of
Displays”. The number of possible display is limited to 4.
For more than 4 displays (quad-head) connected to the same
computer please contact support.
Once selecting the number of displays you will be able to enter the
size and native resolution for every display.
Note: If a display is set to Portrait orientation the Native resolution
should be entered accordingly. For example, for a display with a
native display resolution of 1680x1050 which is used in Portrait
please enter resolution of 1050x1680.
