BRIEF INTRODUCTION
The KVM Switch allows you to control several sets of Personal computers by a keyboard , a mouse and
monitor ,In the meantime , you just need to connect the cable and turn on the power to control up to 256 sets of
personal computers without installing any additional interface card or software .
Easy Installation
The 3-in-1 CPU Connector (VGA , Keyboard and Mouse ) can save the installation time and space and assure
the correct signals . The universal AC power input of 100~240VAC , 50Hz ~ 60Hz saves you the trouble of finding
the space for installing the Power Adaptor , You can install a cascade to facilitate expansions or transportation
without requiring a cascade cable or changing the KVM configurations .
On-Screen Display ( OSD ) Menu
The embedded OSD control module lets you name the PC and KVM and modify the KVM configuration, and the
security mode can prevent others from turning on the KVM by mistake and switching the linked PC from the OSD .
Most conveniently, the OSD not only supports keyboard operations, but also supports mouse clicking.
Enhanced Video Quality
The special video circuit design supports resolution up to 1024x768 , 75Hz , and also keeps the same quality
under the Cascade architecture .

cord to the KVM and the other end to the AC power supply .
2. Make sure the power switches at the rear panels of all slave KVMs are OFF. Plug one end of the AC power cord
to the KVM and the other end to the AC power supply .
3. Install the Master KVM to the 3-in-1 cable (same as the cable for connecting the KVM to the PC) in the middle of
the Slave KVMs.
4.Make sure the power of the PC is OFF and then install the 3-in1 cable to each PC one by one .
Note : Install the PCs on the master or the PCs on the Slave first . If the ON-LINE LED (Green) of any port of a
PC is on ,then we recommend you to power off such PC (Turn off the power switch of the power supply of
the PC or unplug the power cable of the PC) or wait till Step 8 to install that particular PC.
4. Turn on the power switch at the rear panel of the master KVM .
5. Turn on the power switch at the rear panel of the slave KVM.
6. Power on the PC

Note : It is not necessary to power down the whole system for install a new PC or KVM thereafter . All you need is
to make sure that the new PC or KVM is OFF during the installation . If the KVM powers down due to
external factors (such as power failure or the power of the KVM
is turned off) , we recommend you to reinstall the whole system .
It is noteworthy that there are two levels available .
lExpansion
1. PCs
It is not necessary to power down the KVM or other computer connected to the KVM system . You only need to
power off the desired PC and connect the PC to the CPU port of the KVM in parallel by the 3-in-1 cable, and then
power on the PC .
2. Slave KVM
Make sure the power switch at the rear panel of the KVM is OFF ,Use the AC power cord (3-in-1 cable) to
connect the console port of the slave KVM to the CPU port of the master KVM . Power on the slave KVM .
For example :
If you want to install one Slave KVM and three PCs . then just follow Step2 of the foregoing method to add the
slave KVM and install the PCs oneby one according to Step 1.
