INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing Emine's ExsorView DVI-KVM Switch. The Digital
Visual Interface (DVI) is a new and exciting standard that comes with the latest
flatscreen technology. Emine introduces the professional small-office and
home-office DVI KVM Switch with "clickless" USB switching.
The DVI KVM series allows users to control 2 (EM-210DVI) and up to 4 (EM-
410DVI) DVI enabled computers from a single PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse and
DVI video monitor. The ExsorView DVI-KVM switches DVI and USB signals
between computers. Crystal clear digital video resolutions (up to 1600 x 1200
@60Hz) deliver professionals such as designers, engineers, CGI and web-
artists the ultimate switching experience. In addition, a built-in two port USB hub
with "2-level switching technology", allows USB peripherals to be shared
without having to disconnect and reconnect when switching computers.
Installation is simply a matter of plugging your PS/2 peripherals into the switch,
connecting the USB cables to the computers you want to control, and you're
ready to go to work! Instantly select computers using simple Hotkeys from your
keyboard or Emine's logically designed front panel port selectors. Designed for
the latest multi-media environments the switch supports audio and comes with
built-in microphone and speaker jacks. Use one microphone for audio input and
listen to the audio output of each computer on just one set of speakers (on a
one-computer-at-a-time basis).
Flash upgrades allow you to keep up with the latest firmware upgrades for your
KVM switch so that you stay compatible with the latest peripheral devices.

EQUIPMENT REQUIREMENTS
Cables
To preserve signal quality (up to 1600 x 1200 @60Hz) only Emine cable sets
are recommended for your KVM switch. Each computer that is to be connected
to the KVM Switch requires one DVI / USB / Audio cable (Part No. KIC6A). The
following all-in-one cable sets are recommended for your Switch;
DVI cable set with Audio / Microphone;
KIC6A (1.8m)
KIC9A (3.0m)
KIC0A (4.8m)

INSTALLATION
Where to Place the KVM Switch:
The ExsorView DVI-KVM Switch is compact and designed to fit right on the
desktop. Before installation consider the following when deciding where to
place the KVM Switch;
whether or not you intend to use the manual port selectors for port
switching
the length of the cables attached to your keyboard, mouse, and
monitor
the location of your computers from your console
the length of the cables you use to connect your computers to the
KVM
Cable Distance Requirements:
USB signals are the strongest when transmitted up to 15 feet (4.5m) between
the KVM and the CPU. Beyond 15 feet (4.5m), probability of signal degradation,
which can cause the device to fail, is likely.
Cautions and Warnings:
Avoid placing cables near machines that create electrical noise such as
fluorescent lighting, air conditioning equipment, etc.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION
This section provides you complete instructions for the basic hardware setup of
a single EM-210DVI/410DVI.
Important Note:
Before you begin, make sure that power to all the devices you will be
connecting up have been powered off.
Note: To prevent damage to your installation due to ground potential
difference, make sure that all devices on the installation are properly
grounded.
Emine corporation will not be responsible for damaged caused in this way.

Powering-Up the KVM Switch
1.Connect the barrel of the 9V, 600mA power adapter to the power jack on the
rear of the Switch. Then plug the power adapter cable into an available power
outlet.
Connecting Microphone and Speakers (Optional)
1.Connect your speakers/headphones (3.5mm) and microphone (3.5mm) as
designated by the "Speaker" and "Microphone" symbols.
Note: The Switch's front speaker and audio port or the rear panel console
speaker and audio port can be conveniently used. Using both front and
rear speaker / audio ports simultaneously will result in loss of audio.
Connecting the Console
1.Power off all computers.
2.Connect your PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse directly into the PS/2 keyboard
and mouse ports (as designated by the console "keyboard" and "mouse"
symbols) on the rear of the KVM switch.

cable from the computer's USB port to the USB port on the KVM Switch.
2.Connect the male end of the DVI cable to the DVI port on the computer.
Connect the other end of the male DVI cable to the KVM switch for PC1.
3.Take the audio cable and connect one end of the male (3.5mm) plug to the
"Speaker" jack of your computer. Connect the other end of the cable to the
"Audio" jack (as designated by the "Audio" symbol) on the back of your KVM
Switch. Do the same for the "Microphone" connection. (Step 3 is optional and
is not required to use the DVI-KVM Switch.)

4.Repeat steps 1 through 3 for all computers.
5.Power on your computers, and refer to the operation instructions.
Note: Audio and microphone support is designed on a one-computer-at-a-time
basis.
OPERATION
Powering Up the Systems
Once all cables have been connected and all computers have been powered up
the Switch emulates mouse and keyboard signals on each port allowing your
computer to boot normally. Your EM-210DVI/410DVI is now ready for use.
Controlling your computers with the Emine's DVI KVM couldn't be easier. The
EM-210/410DVI allows you to access the computers using:
Logically designed Manual Port Selectors or
Simple Hot Keys from the keyboard
Selecting Computers via Manual Port Selectors
You can instantly select any computer by pressing the port-selectors on the
front of the KVM Switch. The corresponding LED will light "Green" to indicate
current port selection.
Selecting Computers via Hot Keys
You can directly switch the KVM focus to any computer via the simple keyboard
command sequence using the "Scroll Lock" key and entering the switch port
number. Each computer is assigned a numeric ID.
1.To invoke the Hot key mode press the "SCROLL LOCK" key twice within two
seconds. Note that a signal 'beep' will be given as confirmation.
2.Enter your desired switch port number (1-4).
For example, if you press [SCROLL LOCK],[SCROLL LOCK], "2" the
computer on port 2 will be selected.

attached to the built-in USB hub from your currently selected computer;
1. To invoke the Hot key mode press the "SCROLL LOCK" key twice within t
wo seconds.
2. Press the corresponding [FUNCTION] key.
(Where F1=PC1,F2=PC2,F3=PC3,F4=PC4.)
For example; pressing [SCROLL LOCK],[SCROLL LOCK], [F2], switches
USB Hub access to the computer on port 2.
Switching to another computer but allowing USB device access to
remain on the current port
Using the simple Hot Key command sequence below, you can asynchronously
switch the KVM focus and attached USB devices. For example, you can print
from one computer and switch the KVM focus to another computer
simultaneously.
1. To invoke the Hot key mode press the "SCROLL LOCK" key twice within
two seconds.
2. Press the corresponding port number (1-4).
For example; pressing [SCROLL LOCK],[SCROLL LOCK], "3", switches the
KVM focus to the computer on port 3, but USB device access remains on the
port it was.
Note: Some USB storage devices are not suitable for dynamic port switching
applications.
AutoScan Mode
The AutoScan feature allows you to monitor the activity of the connected
computers at regular 10 second intervals so that you can monitor the computer
activity without having to take the trouble of switching yourself. This time
interval cannot be changed.
To invoke Auto Scan Mode press [SCROLL LOCK], [SCROLL LOCK], "0".
Alternatively, you can switch the KVM focus to any computer via the simple
keyboard command sequence using the "SCROLL LOCK" key and Up and
Down arrow keys.
1.To invoke the Hot key mode press the "SCROLL LOCK" key twice within two
seconds. Note that a signal 'beep' will be given as confirmation.
2.Press the Up or Down arrow keys to switch to the Previous or Next port
respectively.
Hot Key Commands
(X = 1,2,3,4)
(Y =Function key; F1,F2,F3,F4)
Note: After switching ports there is a delay of up to 1-2 seconds before the
video displays. This is normal and is due to the refresh rate of the video
signal.
Selecting USB Devices connected to the 2-Port USB Hub
The DVI KVM's built-in 2 port USB (V1.1) hub allows you to connect additional
shared peripherals on a "one-computer-at-a-time" basis. When you connect a
USB device to the KVM Switch, the device can be accessed through any
computer that is connected to the installation via a simple Hot Key command
sequence.
