InStallatIon
When deciding where to place the DVI KVM Switch, consider the cable
lengths required to make all conguration connections, particularly of USB
cables, which typically maintain optimal signal strength when limited to
about 4.5 m (15 ft.). NOTE: Avoid placing cables near devices that output
electrical “noise” (for example, A/C equipment and uorescent lights).
CONNECTING THE CONSOLE
1. Turn off all computers to be connected to the switch.
2. Connect your PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse to
the rear-panel PS/2 keyboard and mouse ports
(as designated by the keyboard and
mouse icons on the switch).
3. Connect your DVI monitor cable to
the console DVI monitor port (as
designated by the console monitor
icon on the rear of the switch).
4. Connect any USB devices you wish
to share as “USB Device 1” or “USB
Device 2” to the USB input ports on
the front panel of the switch. NOTE:
When sharing USB devices, do not
switch while the devices are operating.
5. Connect the included power adapter to the power
jack on the rear panel of the switch, then plug the
adapter into an available AC power outlet.

CONNECTING OPTIONAL COMPONENTS
1. If desired, connect your speakers (3.5mm rear-
panel jack) and headphones/microphone (3.5mm
front-panel jacks) as designated
by the speaker, headphone and
microphone symbols. NOTE: The
switch’s front speaker and audio port
or the rear panel console speaker and
audio port can be used, but using both
front and rear speaker / audio ports
simultaneously will result in loss of audio.
CONNECTING THE COMPUTERS
1. Using a USB cable, connect the
computer’s USB port to the USB
port on the switch. Using a DVI
cable, connect one male end to the
DVI port on the computer and the other
male end to the PC1 DVI port on the switch.
OPTIONAL: Using audio cable, connect the speaker
jack on the computer to the audio jack on the switch,
and do the same for the microphone. NOTE: Audio and microphone
support is designed on a one-computer-at-a-time basis.
2. Repeat Step 1 for all computers in the conguration.
3. Turn on the computers.
operatIon
Once all cables have been connected and all computers have been
turned on, the switch emulates mouse and keyboard signals on each
port, allowing your computer to boot normally.
Accessing and controlling the computer(s) can now be done by using
either the front-panel port buttons (selectors) or keyboard hot keys.

SELECTING COMPUTERS USING HOT KEYS
You can directly change the DVI KVM Switch focus to any computer
using a simple keyboard command sequence: the Scroll Lock key and
the switch port number. Each computer is assigned a numeric ID.
1. To activate the Hot Key mode, press the SCROLL LOCK key twice
within two seconds. A beep will sound as conrmation.
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. You can also
use the Up or Down
arrow keys in lieu of a
number key to shift the
focus to the previous
(Up) or next (Down)
port.
NOTE: After switching
ports, there’s a delay of
1-2 seconds before the
video displays. This is
normal, and is due to the refresh rate of the video signal.
ADDITIONAL HOT KEY CONTROLS
Selecting USB Devices Connected to the 2-Port USB Hub
The DVI KVM Switch’s built-in two-port USB hub allows you to connect
additional shared peripherals on a “one-computer-at-a-time” basis. When
you connect a USB device to the switch, the device can be accessed
through any connected computer by using the hot key command sequence
SCROLL LOCK / SCROLL LOCK / Function Key, where F1 = PC1, F2 =
PC2, F3 = PC3 and F4 = PC4. For example, pressing SCROLL LOCK /
SCROLL LOCK / F2 switches USB hub access to the computer on Port 2.
Switching Computers But Not USB Device Access
You can change the switch’s focus without re-directing access to the
attached USB device(s). For example, you can print from one computer

Auto Scan
Stop Auto Scan Any key
X = 1, 2, 3 or 4 Y = F1, F2, F3 or F4

and change the switch’s focus to another computer at the same time.
Just use the SCROLL LOCK / SCROLL LOCK / X sequence as explained
above to switch ports: The selected USB device will remain as it was.
NOTE: Not all USB storage devices are suitable for such 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
computers’ activity without actually switching to them. NOTE: This time
interval cannot be changed.
The AutoScan hot key command sequence is SCROLL LOCK / SCROLL
LOCK / 0 (zero). NOTE: The interval between pressing these keys should
be no more than a half second. Once scanning begins, it continues until
you press any key to exit the AutoScan mode.
Flash Upgrade
With Internet ash-upgrade capability, you can update your DVI KVM
Switch with the latest rmware upgrades via a parallel connection. To do
so, you would need:
• A separate computer (not connected to the DVI KVM Switch) running
Windows 95, 98, ME, 2000, XP or Vista.
• An available parallel port on the computer.
• A custom ash cable (mini USB B-type to USB A-type).
