Overview
HSL Secure KM Switch enables users to simultaneously operate four or eight computers,
each with its own displays, using a single set of keyboard and mouse. The user can easily
switch between computers and displays by simply moving the cursor from one display
to another.
For proper use, the HSL Secure KM Switch must be configured correctly according to the
actual placement of the displays, relative to each other.
This guide instructs how to install and configure the relative location of the displays to
match their physical locations.
There are two ways to configure the HSL Secure KM Switch with the actual display setup:
• Select one of the predefined setups
• Create and load a custom configuration file
Installation
Before configuring the HSL Secure KM Switch, connect all computers and components.
1. Connect the KM Switch by plugging 'A' to 'B' USB cable to each computer’s USB port.
2. If the computer uses audio output (speakers or headphones), connect an audio
cable from its audio output port to the corresponding AUDIO input port on the
KM Switch.
3. Connect the following items to the console ports of the KM Switch:
• Keyboard to Keyboard (USB) or PS/2 K
• Mouse to Mouse (USB) or PS/2 M
• Headphones or Speakers to Audio
• Desktop Controller Unit to RDC
Connect the electrical supply:
• 4 Port – 12V 1.5A DC power supply
• 8 Port – 110V or 220V AC power cable
4. Install the KM Driver software on every connected Windows®computer with
multiple displays (a computer with more than one monitor connected to it):
• Download the HSL KM Multi-Display Driver from http://highseclabs.com/
dl.php?fid=446
• Double-click KMDriver to begin installation.
• Follow the instructions until the installation is complete.
• Repeat procedure for every computer with multiple displays.

Advanced Setup
If none of the preset configurations fit your display setup, you can create a custom
configuration and load it to the KM, which can be done on a separate computer not
connected to the KM Switch.
Creating and loading the custom configuration is a 2-step process:
• On a separate computer, create a custom configuration
• Load the configuration to the KM Switch
Step 1 – Create a Custom Display Configuration
Note: To define a new configuration file, you will need to know the resolution and size of
every display, along with the coordinates of every secondary display (on a computer that
has more than one display connected to it). See Display Resolution and Coordinates
for instruction on how to get the resolution and coordinates of each display.
1.1 On a separate computer, install the KM Admin Setup, which installs the KMC
Creator and KMC Loader applications. (Link: http://www.highseclabs.com/
Resources/Software%20Downloads/HSL_KM_Adminsetup.zip)
1.2 Open KMC Creator.
1.3 Click New Project to create a new configuration.
1.4 In the KM Project Setup dialog, enter the
required information, and then click Next.
Project Name: Name of the configuration
Product Model: HSL product number from the
product sticker
Mouse Speed: Make mouse movements faster
or slower
Mouse Acceleration: Make mouse accelerate faster
or slower
Number of Computers:
Total number of computers
connected to the KM Switch
1.5 Enter a description of the configuration, and click Next.

K304 • K304E • K308 | QUICK START GUIDE
1.6 Configure each computer and then
click Next.
Computer name: Name of the computer
Number of displays: Number of displays connected to computer
Display Diag (inch): Diagonal size of display, in inches
Display Resolution (H/W): Resolution of the display in pixels. See Display Resolution and
Coordinates.
MS W/H Coordinates: For computers with multiple displays, enter the coordinates of secondary
display. See Display Resolution and Coordinates
1.7 Repeat the computer setup for all the connected computers.
1.8 Create a stage where all the displays for the connected computers appear.
1.9 Align the displays relative to each other as they are physically located.
1.10 A yellow corridor appears between the
displays, where the mouse cursor
moves from one display to the next.
• Click on a yellow corridor to
delete it, where the mouse will
not move between displays.
• To return the yellow corridor,
move the display close to the
adjoining display.
1.11 Click Complete Setup to finish the setup and save the .kmc configuration file.
Step 2 – Load a Display Configuration
2.1 Connect a standard ‘A’ – ‘A’ USB cable (CPN 06580 or similar) to the Console mouse
port on the KVM Switch.
2.2 Connect the other end of the USB cable to the external computer.
2.3 Press Ctrl,Ctrl,F11,d,c to change the KM Switch to administration mode.
2.4 The KM Switch will start clicking rapidly. Reboot the KM Switch by disconnecting
power from the KM and reinserting it back into the KM.
2.5 Open the KMC Loader application and wait
for the message KM Ready.
2.6 Click Select a new configuration file and
navigate to the location where KMC Creator
saved the configuration file.
2.7 Click Update KM to copy the configuration
file to the KM Switch.
2.8 The dialog should indicate KM Ready,
showing the newly loaded configuration.
2.9 Turn off the KM Switch and disconnect it
from the external configuration computer.
2.10 Connect the KM Switch to all the connected
computers, as described in Installation, and
restart. The new configuration should be the
default.
Note: If the custom configuration process does not work or issues arise in configuring
the KM Switch, contact HSL at +972 - 4 - 9591191
Step 3 – Display Resolution and Coordinates
3.1 Connect a keyboard, mouse and display to a computer that will be connected
to the KM Switch.
3.2 On each computer, open the Screen Resolution
dialog:
Control Panel > Display > Screen Resolution.
3.3 Note the display resolution in the Resolution
field. If the computer is connected to multiple
displays, set and note the resolution of the
primary (main) and secondary displays.
3.4 Move the secondary display relative to
the primary display, as they are physically
located, and note the coordinates.
Note: If the HSL Secure KM Switch does not work properly, or the configuration
procedure is unclear or does not work, contact HSL support at +972 - 4 - 9591191
If none of the preset display configurations fits your display setup, go to
Advanced Setup to create a custom configuration.
Note: In the following table, the blue displays indicate computers with 1 display. The gray displays indicate computers with 2 displays. P is primary display and S is
secondary display.
