Introduction
Installation
The B004-VUA2-K-R is a 2-port Compact USB KVM Switch with optional audio and
microphone switching function. It allows you to access, control, boot and reboot
multiple USB-enabled PCs. The independent audio/mic switching function allows an
uninterrupted audio signal from either PC even when you switch to the other PC.
For Windows®and Macintosh®users, it provides innovative, easy-to-use KVM
Switcher Software—a small windows client application to facilitate your KVM switching
operations such as PC selection and hot key sequence programming, auto-scanning,
auto-scan delay time programming, independent/simultaneous audio & PC switching
and more.

Step 2. For Windows/Mac: Click the “Software Installation for Window/Mac” to start
the installation. (If the Mac version software does not start, you will need to copy it
to your local hard drive on your Mac). Follow the instructions to completion. When
the installation is complete, you will see a KVM Switcher icon on the system tray of
your desktop. Right-click to evoke the operation menu and double-click to evoke the
configuration box. For operation details of the KVM Switcher software, please refer to
the KVM Switcher Operation Reference.
• The Windows switching software is
recommended for use on Windows 98
SE or later. The Mac switching software is
recommended for use on Mac OS 10.4 [Tiger].
• The KVM Switcher Software supports both
Windows and Mac OS operating systems. For
other OS platforms such as Linux, you can still
use the keyboard hot key - ScrLk + ScrLK - to
switch PCs. However, this switching hot key is
not available on non-PC platform such as Mac OS.
Step 3. Connect the console (USB keyboard, mouse, monitor, speaker/headphone and
microphone) to the respective ports on the KVM Switch.
Step 4. Connect each KVM PC port to a computer, using the slim 3-in-1 KVM combo
cable and the audio/mic cable. After you have connected the KVM and computers
properly, you can operate the KVM Switch immediately.
• Some older computers with USB interface
might need to manually enable the USB option
in the BIOS settings before you can use any
USB devices. If your USB interface does not
work, please check the USB option in the BIOS.
• If you use Windows 95/98/SE or Mac OS and
have not yet installed a USB mouse on your
computer, there may be an error message
telling you that mouse is not detected and
prompting you to decide whether to ignore
the same message in the future. You will also
find that there isn’t any mouse movement to
disable this message. You will need to install
your USB mouse on your computer first, before
connecting it to this KVM Switch.

Operation
There are three methods to control your KVM Switch for PC and Audio/Mic channel
selection: using (1) the face-panel push buttons, (2) the hot key sequences, or (3) the
KVM Switching Software.
Manual Push-Buttons
The manual push-buttons on the unit allow you direct control over KVM switching
operation. Simply press the button to switch to the corresponding PC port (and audio/
mic channel, if binding is enabled). By default, PC port switching and audio/mic port
switching are bound together, unless you specify the audio to be fixed a specific port.
• You can use the face-panel button to switch to an empty port that is not connected with any
computer. If you use keyboard hotkeys or the KVM Switcher software, you will not be able to switch
to an empty port.
Keyboard Hot Keys
User-definable hot keys for PC selection:
Hot key sequence = Ctrl - Alt - [command key]*
* Please refer to the next section for keys that are qualified to be used as a command key.
Note: These 3 keys should be pressed and held together. And it is upon the release of all three keys
that the switching action will be executed.
Universal hot key for switching to next port:
Universal hot key sequence = ScrLk + ScrLk
• For other operating systems on PCs such as Linux, you can still use this special hot key to facilitate
PC switching. This special hot key is not available for Mac.
• Both the universal hot key, ScrLk + ScrLk and the user-definable hot key, Ctrl - Alt - [command key]
WILL NOT allow you to switch to an empty port that is not connected with any computer. To force
your KVM to switch to an empty port, just press the manual push-button to switch.
• Each keystroke within a hot key sequence should be pressed within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the hot
key sequence will not be validated.
• After port switching, you have to wait until the KVM Switching icon shows the target port before you
can perform the next switch.
• All the hot keys are functional only after your PCs are booting into the OS. If you want to switch PC
in the BIOS/pre-boot stage, press the face-panel button to switch.
KVM Switcher Software (for Windows and Mac)
In addition to PC switching, the KVM Switcher Software also allows you more advanced
functions such as described in the next section.

Windows Mac OS
Switching PCs Using Operation Menu
Right-click the KVM Switcher icon to evoke
the operation menu, then select whichever
PC that is available for switching. Once you
select a PC channel, it will immediately
switch to that PC.
Note: The unconnected port(s) or the active port will
be grayed-out and hence non-selectable.
Switching PCs Using Keyboard Hot Key
Hit the hot key using your current hot key definition:
Hot key sequence = Ctrl - Alt - [command key]*
* The factory default hot key setting is Ctrl + Alt + 1/2 for PC 1/2. You can also use ScrLk + ScrLk to
switch PC.
Start Auto-Scan
Right-click the KVM Switching icon to evoke the operation menu, then select Start
Auto-Scan to activate auto-scanning.
Stop Auto-Scan
While auto-scanning, right-click the KVM Switching icon to evoke the operation menu,
then select Stop Auto-Scan to de-activate auto-scanning. Or you can press any of the
manual buttons to stop Auto-scan.
Auto-Scan Period
Select the Auto-scan period from 10 ~ 60 seconds with an increment of 5 seconds.
The Auto-scan period is the time your KVM Switch will wait before switching to next PC.
KVM Switcher Configuration
Right-click the KVM Switcher icon and select Settings or double-click the icon to bring
up the configuration dialog box.
Define Hot Key Commands
You can specify the command key you desire by typing it in. For example, you can
specify the hot key for switching to PC 1 as CTRL - ALT - A by typing an A (not case-
sensitive) in the editable field.
