Hardware
SCOUTmicro DVI

Installation
Before connecting your computers and console devices to the SCOUTmicro switch, please ensure
that all devices are powered off. Connecting devices while powered on may lead to damage to your
computers or the SCOUTmicro. Daxten cannot be held responsible for damage caused by connecting
devices that are powered.
1. Place the SCOUTmicro switch in a convenient location; its small size makes it easy to place
it on the desktop.
2. Connecting the console devices to SCOUTmicro USB:
Connect your monitor’s DVI connector to the SCOUTmicro’s Monitor ‘CONSOLE’ device on the
front panel.
Connect your USB keyboard to the USB keyboard port and your USB mouse to the USB mouse
port on the front panel of the SCOUTmicro.
3. Connecting the computers with USB ports via the integrated cable:
Connect the DVI male connector to the DVI port on your computer.
Connect the USB connector to a USB port on your computer.
4. Power up the computers. The computer connected to the first port will be shown on the
monitor. You may check if the keyboard and mouse work after the system has booted up. If
you find that the keyboard or mouse is not working correctly please verify that all cables are
properly connected.
Using the SCOUTmicro KVM Switch
To switch from one PC to another with the SCOUTmicro KVM Switch you can use the push button on
the SCOUTmicro, or use the keyboard Hot Key commands. You may notice that the mouse cannot be
used for around 2 seconds when the SCOUTmicro switches to another computer. This is normal and
is caused by the synchronization process which ensures that the mouse operates correctly.
