PC SShare
Installation and Operation
Introduction
Raritan’s PC-Share enables 2 to 5 users, each with a keyboard, VGA monitor, and mouse to
connect to and alternately operate one PC, either PS/2 or AT. Users can be located up to 1,000 feet
away from the PC.
Only one user (keyboard and/or mouse) is active at any one time. That active user has exclusive
control of the PC, while all other monitors display that PC’s video output, unless the user invokes the
PrivateView function. Other users can take control of the PC when the active user is idle for a time
interval exceeding the time out limit. The time out limit can be set from 2 to 99 seconds.
Packaging
PC-Share consists of the following components:
 PCSH5: Main unit
 A10D1-06MP: DC Adapter
 CCP06U: A 2-foot cable to connect PCSH5 to your PC’s keyboard (5 or 6 pin), VGA video

Sequence of Steps for PC-Share Installation
A. CConnect tthe MMain UUnit aand UUser 11
1. Using the included CCP06U cable, plug the DB25 connector to the PC-Share connector labeled PC
IN.
2. Plug the CCP06U connectors into the PC’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports. Use the sup-
plied adapters for AT-style PC.
3. Plug the DC Adapter (A10D1-06MP) into an AC power outlet, and plug the other end into the PC-
Share unit DC IN.
4. Plug a keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the connectors of USER PORT 1.
5. Power on the PC and monitor. You can now operate your computer from USER PORT 1.
B1. Connect UUsers 22aand/or 33((Steps AA.1. tthrough AA.3. aand AA.5. aabove mmust bbeccompleted ffirst).
1. Plug the DB25 connector of a user cable, CCPnnF, to the PC-Share USER PORT 2 or USER PORT 3.
2. Plug a keyboard, monitor, and PS/2 mouse into the connectors of the other end of the CCPnnF.
3. Power on the monitor. The user is ready to operate the PC.
B2. CConnect UUsers 44aand/or 55((Steps AA.1. tthrough AA.3. aand AA.5. aabove mmust bbeccompleted ffirst).
1. Plug the Category 5 UTP cable into the RJ45 connector of USER PORT 4 or USER PORT 5.
2. Plug the other end of the Category 5 UTP cable to the RJ45 port of a URKVMG.
3. Plug DC Adapter (A10DM-06MP) into a AC power outlet and plug the other end to the URKVMG.
4. Plug a keyboard, monitor, and PS/2 mouse into the URKVMG.
5. Power on the monitor. The user is ready to operate the PC.
6. The URKVMG has automatic video tuning. If video needs to be fine tuned, use a flat-head screw-
driver inserted into the opening marked Video Adjustment and adjust up or down as required .
 All users have equal access to the PC. When one user is “active”– with keyboard or mouse input –
any input from other users is ignored. Video is displayed on all monitors; unless it is blanked by
PrivateView function (see below).
 The first user to activate the keyboard or mouse will gain control of the PC. If the active user is inac-
tive for an interval exceeding the time out limit, any user can take control. The time out limit can be
adjusted (see below).
 Hot-key functions allow any active user to set the time out limit, turn off video on the selected USER
PORTS, and change hot-key activator. First activate hot-key mode by pressing the hot-key activator
(<ScrollLock>, by default) twice rapidly. The LED on the keyboard corresponding to the hot-key
activator will be blinking. Hot-key mode will terminate after 30 seconds if there is no input, or if the
active user presses the Esc key.
Set Time Out Limit:Enter Tnn<Enter> to set the time out limit. Where nn=2, 3,..., 99 seconds
(default setting is 2 seconds).
Set PrivateView: Enter B[(1)(2)(3)(R)]<Enter> where R (Remote) represents both USER PORTS 4
and 5 to blank video to the selected USER PORTS e.g., B2R<Enter> will turn off video to USER
PORT 2 and USER PORTS 4 and 5, and leave video on at USER PORTS 1 and 3. “B<Enter>” will
restore video to all USER PORTS. If video is turned off on a USER PORT, the user still can activate
hot-key mode if the PC is available. The video for USER PORTS.4 and 5 operate jointly, so USER
PORTS.4 and 5 can only select PrivateView for USER PORTS 1, 2, or 3.
Change Hot-key Activator: Enter “[NumLock, CapsLock, ScrollLock]<Enter>” to change the
hot-key activator to NumLock, CapsLock, or ScrollLock (default is ScrollLock).
