Hardware Installation
Before installing the KVM Switch, please make sure all of peripherals and computers have been turned off.
1. Install the Switchin a fairlycool and dry place; see “Technical Specifications” section for the acceptable
operating temperature and humidity ranges. The installation site must be free from strong electromagnetic
field generators (such as motors), vibration, dust, and direct exposure to sunlight. Install the Switch on a
sturdy, level surface that can support its weight, or in a standard EIA19” equipment rack. To mount the
Switch on the rack, install the included mounting brackets to the sides of the Switch, secure them with the
screws, and then mount the Switch to the rack with the hardware provided by the rack manufacturer.
2. Connect the Power Adapter to the power outlet and then connect the power connector to Switch’s DC
12V jack.
3. Connect the Keyboard, VGA, and Mouse cables to the KVM Switch’s “Computer Ports” (starts from
“Computer 1” port) and the Computers’ Keyboard, VGA, and Mouse ports.
4. Connect the Keyboard, VGA monitor, and Mouse to the KVM Switch’s “Console Port”.
5. Power on the KVM Switch and the computers.
Daisy-Chain
Youcandaisy-chain eight TK-####RseriesKVMSwitchestogether.ToconnectmorethenoneTK-####R
series KVM Switches together, turn off all computers and Switches, use the included daisy-chaincable,
connect one end of the connectors to theSwitches“Daisy-Chain In” Port and then connect the other end of
the connectors to the other Switches “Console Port”.
Note: Please don’t press the KVM Switch’s “Port Select” and “Bank Select” buttons or run
hot-key function when the computers are bootingup.
Usage
The power on state of the KVM switch:
After powering on the KVM switch, the LED display shows “Bank No.” 1 (solid) and “Port No.” 01 (Flashing). If
there is a computer connected to “Computer 1” port, the Monitor shows the status of Computer 1 with a
“status bar” asking you to enter the password. The default password is eight zeros (i.e. 00000000). Please
key in eight zeros (by using the number keys above the letter keys) and press “Enter”, the Switch will beep
once, confirming the login, and the “Port No.” 01 LEDs will stop flashing.
If “Computer 1” port is not connected to a computer, the monitor will be blank, press the “Port Select” button
once to select the next channel (port). Keep pushing the button until the connected computer is selected and
youcan then enter the passwordtologin.
Note: Please do not change the password until you are familiar with the operation of OSD Menu. After
