multiple computers in real-time while maintaining the highest isolation
between computers and peripherals. Directly connect separate
display(s) to each computer and effortlessly share keyboard, mouse,
audio and USB devices through the KM.
Obviate the need for purchasing and installing dedicated, per-
computer peripheral sets.
This guide instructs how to install, configure and operate a HSL KM

Console ports.
•Connect computers that require access to the shared peripherals
to the Computer ports.
Step 1 – Connect peripherals to the KM Console ports
•Keyboard: Connect either a USB or PS/2 keyboard to the
corresponding KM console keyboard port.
•Mouse: Connect either a USB or PS/2 mouse to the corresponding
KM console mouse port.
•USB peripherals: Connect USB peripherals to the KM console fUSB
port.

Step 2 – Connect computers to the KM Computer ports
•Computer keyboard & mouse connection: Connect each
computer to the KM keyboard & mouse computer port using a
USB A to USB B cable. Connect the USB A end to the computer
and the USB B end to KM.
•Computer USB peripherals: Connect each computer to
the KM fUSB computer port using a USB A to USB B cable.
Connect the USB A end to the computer and the USB B end
to KM.
•Computer video connection: Directly connect

Step 4 – What are presets?
•Presets reflect the layout and boarders of
computer displays to the KM.
Presets allow:
•Support of various display layouts. Align
displays vertically (on top) and Horizontally
(along side).
•Associate the mouse cursor with each
computer based on its respective display
position.
•Consider all displays as one absolute screen area to allow VDT.
•Virtual Display Technology (VDT) - Switch control between PCs
by moving the mouse cursor across display boarders (all over the
absolute screen area).

Operating the KM
Front Panel Push-Buttons
•Following power up, the default channel is #1.
•Select any other channel by pressing the appropriate front panel
push button.
•The mouse cursor will be positioned at the center of the selected
computer display.
•The currently selected channel is indicated by the illumination of the
appropriate push-button.
Freeze USB
•Once switching between channels, for example from channel
#1 to channel #3, the USB and Audio devices are automatically
switched accordingly. This is indicated by channel #3 USB and
Audio LEDs turning steady GREEN.
•When switching to a channel that has no USB connection, the
USB Port remains mapped to the last channel that had a USB
connection.
•Press the freeze USB button on the front panel to assign the USB
port to a specific computer. Freeze USB prevents switching the
USB port while the keyboard, video, mouse and audio peripherals
are switched between computers. Freeze USB is useful for various
scenarios, for instance, when a USB disk-on-key must remain
mapped to a certain computer.
Freeze Audio
•Press the freeze audio button on the front panel to assign
the audio port to a specific computer. Freeze audio prevents
switching the audio port while the keyboard, video, mouse and
USB peripherals are switched between computers. Freeze audio
is useful when a user has to listen to audio originating from one
computer while working on another computer.
