INTRODUCTION
The DPN-4 Quad is a dedicated multi-platform KVM
switch capable of managing up to 4 different com-
puters through four DisplayPort monitors, one USB
keyboard & mouse and a single set of speakers.
The USB emulation technology utilized by the DPN-4
Quad enables immediate hotkey source switching
through a remote USB keyboard and mouse. The DPN
-4 Quad uses DisplayPort connectors providing high
resolutions of up to 4K (3840x2160 @ 30Hz) with
zero pixel loss from TMDS signal correction.
Front Panel Control

M2 button to navigate from computer to computer.
The numbered LED lights will indicate which computer
is selected.
Hotkey Commands
A Hotkey command is a keyboard sequence used to
trigger an action on the DPN-4 Quad through the use
of the keyboard connected on the USB port of the
DPN-4 Quad. To activate the hotkey sequence, press
the CTRL key twice and then enter the desired hotkey
commands.
RS-232 Control
RS-232 control allows for remote control of the DPN-4
Quad. See the section on establishing an RS-232
connection in the full manual. Set the connection to
