1. Ensure that power is turned o or disconnected from the unit and the computers.
2. Use a DVI cable to connect the DVI output port from each computer to the
corresponding DVI-D IN ports of the unit.
3. Use a USB cable (Type-A to Type-B) to connect a USB port on each computer to the
respecve USB ports of the unit.
4. Oponally, connect a stereo audio cable (3.5mm to 3.5mm) to the audio output of each
computer to the AUDIO IN ports of the unit.
5. For each user, connect a monitor to each DVI-D OUT console port of the unit using
DVI cables.
6. For each user, connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the two USB console ports.
7. Oponally, for each user, connect stereo speakers to the AUDIO OUT ports of the unit.
8. Finally, power on the KVM by connecng a 12VDC power supply to the power
connector, and then turn on all the computers.
Note: You can connect up to 8 computers to the 8 port KVM and up to 4 computers to the 4 port
KVM.

EDID Learn:
The KVM is designed to learn the connected monitor’s EDID upon power up. In the event of
connecng a new monitor to the KVM, a power recycle is required.
The KVM will indicate to the user that the EDID learn process is ongoing by ashing the LED next to
DVI OUT port 1. When the LEDs stop ashing, the EDID learn process is done.
The monitor must be connected to the video output connector located in the console space at the
back of the KVM during the EDID learn process.
If the read EDID from the connected monitor is idencal to the current stored EDID in the KVM then
the EDID learn funcon will be skipped unless the force learn EDID process is used. To force learn
the EDID, hold down the First and Last CAC buons of Front Panel for 3 seconds to force Learn

System operation
There are three ways to control the SM-DVN: Keyboard Hotkeys, RS-232 Serial Commands, and
Front Panel Buons. All modes of control will allow the user the set their desired conguraons.
front panel control
To switch to an input port for a given console, push the UP or DOWN buons as many mes as
needed to navigate to the desired channel. The channel number indicator will display to selected
channel for each console.
By default, the unit will start in View Mode, indicated by a red LED above the CAC buon on the
front panel. In View Mode, keyboard and mouse funconality are disabled. Control Mode enables full
keyboard and mouse funconality.
hotkey and rs232 serial control
The SM-DVN may also be controlled via RS-232 commands. To use these commands, you must use
HyperTerminal or an alternave terminal applicaon. The sengs for the connecon are as follows:
Baudrate 115200; Data Bits 8; Parity None; Stop Bits 1; Flow Control None.
Once you have connected to the SM-DVN via Serial, you will see the SM-DVN informaon when the
device starts up.
The following commands can be used for RS-232 with available keyboard hotkeys:
