KVM SWITCH
QUICK START GUIDE
MODELS 157025 & 157032

2
Thank you for purchasing this INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ KVM Switch. This compact
KVM Switch with Audio and Mic switching functionality allows you to access, control, boot and
reboot two (Model 157025) or four (Model 157032) USB-enabled multimedia computers with only
one USB keyboard, mouse, monitor and optional speaker set and microphone, using the Switching
Software Client installed on your PCs.
INSTALLATION
1. Insert the enclosed CD into your CD drive. The
installer program, USBKVMIn.exe, will run (or you
can find it with Explorer and double-click its icon
to start installation). Complete the software
installation on each PC to be connected to the
switch. When completed, you’ll see a KVM
Switcher icon on the system tray of the desktop.
Right-click to display the operation menu; double-
click to display the configuration box. (See KVM
Switcher section for details.)
No live connection
detected Current active PC channel
is on port 1 (or 2, 3 or 4)

NOTE: The KVM Switcher software supports only the Windows operating system on PC platforms.
For other OS platforms, such as Linux, you can still use the keyboard hotkey — ScrLk + ScrLk — to
switch PCs. However, this switching hotkey is not available on non-PC platforms such as MacOS.
When connected to a Mac, use the face-panel button to switch ports.
2. Connect the shared USB keyboard, mouse,
monitor, speaker/headphone and microphone
each to its port on your KVM Switch.
3. Connect each KVM PC port to a computer using
the slim 3-in-1 KVM combo cable and the audio/
mic cable. Once you have
connected the switch and
computers properly, you can
operate the KVM Switch.
NOTE: Some older computers with
a USB interface may need to
manually enable the USB option in
the BIOS settings before using any
USB devices. If your USB interface does not
work, check the USB option status in the BIOS.

4
NOTE: If using Windows 95/98/SE without a USB mouse, an error message may appear saying
that a mouse is not detected and giving you the option of ignoring the same message in the future.
Since you likely would have no mouse movement to disable this message, it’s recommended that a
USB mouse be installed on your computer before connecting it to this KVM Switch.
OPERATION
There are three ways to control PC switching: using the face-panel push buttons, hotkey
sequences or the KVM Switcher software. (For audio/mic switching, use the hotkey command.)
Face-Panel Buttons
The face-panel buttons allow you direct control over PC port switching. Simply press the button to
switch to the corresponding PC port (and audio/mic channel, if binding is enabled). By default, PC
port switching and audio/mic port switching are bound together. NOTE: You can use the face-panel
button to switch to an empty port that is not connected with any computer. Normally, if you use
keyboard hotkeys or the KVM Switcher software, you will not be able to switch to an empty port.
Keyboard Hotkeys
A user-definable keyboard hotkey sequence for a PC consists of at least three specific keystrokes:
Ctrl + Alt + [command key]
For other operating systems on a PC, such as Linux, you can use this universal hotkey sequence:
ScrLk + ScrLk

5
NOTE: The universal hotkey is not available for Mac. And neither the universal hotkey nor user-
definable hotkeys allow you to switch to an empty port that is not connected with any computer.
To switch to an empty port, just press the corresponding face-panel button.
Each keystroke within a hotkey sequence should be pressed within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the
hotkey sequence will not be validated.
After switching ports, wait for the KVM Switch icon to show the target port before switching again.
The icon can be found on the system tray of your Windows desktop after its installation.
Hotkeys are functional only after your PCs boot into the OS. If you want to switch a PC in the BIOS/
preboot stage, press the corresponding face-panel button.
KVM Switcher
In addition to PC switching, the KVM Switcher software offers more advanced functions.
Switch PCs by Operation Menu: Right-click the KVM Switcher icon to
display the operation menu, then select whichever PC that is available for
switching. Once you select a PC channel, it’ll immediately switch to that PC.
Unconnected port(s) and the active port are grayed-out and non-selectable.
Switch PCs by Keyboard Hotkeys: Hit the hotkey according to your current
definition: Hotkey sequence = Ctrl + Alt + [command key]. The factory default
hotkey setting is Ctrl + Alt + 1/2/3/4 for PCs 1–4. You can also use ScrLk + ScrLk.

6
Start Auto-Scan: Right-click the KVM Switcher icon to display
the operation menu; select "Start Auto-Scan."
Stop Auto-Scan: (While auto-scanning) right-click the KVM
Switcher icon to display the operation menu; select "Stop
Auto-Scan." Or press any button on the face-panel.
KVM Switcher Configuration: Right-click the KVM Switcher
icon; select "Settings" or double-click the icon to bring up the
configuration dialog box.
Define Hotkey Commands: You can specify command keys
by entering them in the corresponding editable fields. Except
for control keys (Alt, Ctrl, Shift, Caps, Tab, Esc), function
keys and edit keys, any key on the keyboard can be used
to define a hotkey command, including keys on the number
pad. Remember, you can also use the universal hotkey for
PC switching: ScrLk + ScrLk.
Fix the Audio Port at PC "X": Once this option is checked, the audio/mic channel at the
designated PC will be "fixed," or non-switchable.
Auto-Scan Period: Select from 10 to 60 seconds (in increments of 5 seconds). The auto-scan
period is the time your KVM Switch will wait to switch to the next PC.
