Step-by-Step Installation Guide
This section provides complete instructions for the hardware setup of a
single Switch.
Important Note
Before attempting to connect anything to the Switch or to any computer, make
sure that everything is powered off. Plugging and unplugging cables while
computers are powered on can cause irreversible damage to your computers,
data, and/or to the Switch. Belkin Corporation will not be responsible for damage
caused in this way.
Connecting the Console
1. Power down all computers.
2. Connect your PS/2-type keyboard
and mouse to the KEYBOARD and
MOUSE ports located on the front
panel of your Switch.
3. Take the VGA cable that is
attached to your monitor and
connect it to the VGA port on the
front panel of the Switch.

INSTALLATIONINSTALLATION
Pre-Configuration
Where to Place the Switch
The Switch is designed for positioning on the desktop. The exact placement will
be based on the location of your CPUs and length of your cables.
Cable Distance Requirements
For PS/2 computers: VGA signals are best retained when transmitted up to eight
feet. Beyond eight feet, probability of video degradation increases with an
increase in distance. For this reason, your PS/2 computer should be placed
within eight feet of the KVM Switch.
Note: If your computer needs to be more than eight feet from the KVM Switch, you
can use the Belkin CAT5 Extender (part number F1D084) to extend your PS/2
keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and monitor up to 500 feet (152.4m) away using a
standard CAT5 UTP cable.
Cautions and Warnings
Avoid placing cables near fluorescent lights, air conditioning equipment, or
machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).

Powering Up the Systems
Once all cables have been connected, power up your CPUs that are attached to
the Switch. All computers can be powered on simultaneously. The Switch
emulates a mouse and keyboard on each port and will allow your computer to
boot normally. Your Switch should now be ready for use.
You can select which computer to operate through hot key commands. Note that
it will take 1-2 seconds for the video to display after switching. This is due to
the refresh of the video signal. A re-synchronization of the mouse and keyboard
signal also takes place. This is normal operation and ensures that proper
synchronization is established.
You can conveniently change ports on the Switch through a keyboard command
sequence using the “SCROLL LOCK” key and up and down arrow keys. To send
commands to the Switch, press the “SCROLL LOCK” key twice within two seconds.
You will hear a beep for confirmation. Then you can press the up or down arrow
keys to switch between ports.

Connecting the Computer
1. Using the attached cables, take the VGA cable and connect it to
the VGA port on the first computer.
2. Connect the PS/2 keyboard KVM cable to the keyboard port on
the computer.
3. Connect the PS/2 mouse KVM cable to the mouse port on
the computer.
Repeat Steps 1 through 3 for the additional computer to be connected to
the Switch.

INSTALLATION

You can switch directly to any port by entering the Switch port number you wish
to use. For example, if you press “SCROLL LOCK”, “SCROLL LOCK”, “2”, the
computer on port 2 will be selected.
AutoScan Mode
In AutoScan mode, the Switch remains on one port for eight seconds before
switching to the next. This time interval cannot be changed.
To enable AutoScan mode, press “SCROLL LOCK”, “SCROLL LOCK”, “S”.
Note: There is no mouse or keyboard control in this mode by design, in order to
prevent errors. If it were enabled, the user could move the mouse or use the
keyboard while the KVM Switch is switching to the next port. This could interrupt
communication between the computer and Switch that might cause erratic mouse
movement, or result in errant display of characters when using the keyboard.
To disable AutoScan mode, press the space bar.
