Overview
Feature Overview
Video Resolution
The SOHO KVM Switch is able to support video resolutions of up to 1920x1200 so
you can use the latest in video display technology for all your computers.
Flash Upgrade
With the firmware-upgrade feature, your investment in the KVM Switch is further
ensured and its lifetime value is maximized. You don’t have to change your KVM
Switch to solve compatibility problems since you can solve them with easy
firmware upgrades. A special upgrade cable is not needed; you can use the same
KVM cable that connects your computer.
Built-In USB 2.0 Hub
The SOHO KVM Switch features a built-in Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hub, so you can
share two USB peripheral devices, such as a printer, with all your computers. There
are two USB ports on the KVM Switch. One port is located on the back and the
other is located on the front for easier access.
Speaker/Microphone Support
The SOHO KVM Switch allows you to share one set of speakers and one
microphone with all your computers, so you won’t need to unplug and reconnect
your speakers and microphone every time you switch access from one computer
to the next.
Direct-Access Port Selectors
Direct-access port selectors, conveniently located on the front face of the SOHO
KVM Switch, allow you to easily switch access from one computer to the next. You
can change the KVM port or the audio/mic using these buttons.
Cables
All the required cables are 6 feet in length and are included in the box for easier
installation. The cables are also smaller and easier to manage.
LED Display
There are two LEDs on each button. One indicates which port the KVM is on and
the other indicates which port the audio/mic is on.

Installing the KVM Switch
Pre-Configuration
Where to Place the KVM Switch
The compact size of the KVM Switch makes it perfect for desktop placement.
Consider the following when deciding where to place the KVM Switch: whether
or not you intend to use the direct-access port selectors; the length of the cables
attached to your keyboard, mouse, and monitor; the location of your CPUs from
your console; and the length of the cables you use to connect your computers to
the KVM Switch.
Cautions and Warnings
Avoid having cables near fluorescent lights, air-conditioning equipment, or
machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).
Single-Switch Installation
This section provides complete instructions for the hardware setup of a single KVM
Switch. (F1DD102L or F1DD104L)

Installing the KVM Switch
NOTE REGARDING DDC SUPPORT:
In order to read the monitor’s DDC information accurately, the following steps must be
followed whenever a different monitor is connected to the KVM Switch:
Step 1. Power down each computer that is connected to the KVM Switch.
Step 2. Remove the power supply from the back of the KVM Switch.
Step 3. Disconnect the host cables from the back of the KVM Switch.
Step 4. Disconnect the monitor that is connected to the console port of the KVM Switch.
Step 5. Connect the new monitor you wish to use to the console port of the KVM Switch.
Step 6. Plug the power supply into the back of the KVM Switch.
Step 7. Power up the computers that are connected to the KVM Switch.
Following these steps will ensure that the KVM Switch is reading the monitor
information correctly. If you are not concerned with DDC, you do not have to follow
these steps when changing any piece of hardware that is connected to the KVM Switch.
