Installation Procedures



- Connect Host Computers: Use USB cables to connect host computers to the KVM Switch USB-B ports. Connect the MIC and stereo ports of the host computers to the corresponding ports above the 'DisplayPort In' using 3.5mm audio cables. Connect the host computers to the 'DisplayPort In' ports using DisplayPort cables.
- Connect Peripherals: Attach the keyboard and mouse to the USB-A ports on the back panel. Connect microphones and amplifiers to the MIC and stereo ports. Connect your display to either the 'DisplayPort Out' or 'HDMI Out' port. Note: If both are connected, DisplayPort takes priority.
- Power On: Connect the 5V power supply and press the power button. The 'Power' indicator will light up.
- Input Selection: Use the front panel buttons or the IR remote to select the active PC. The 'Select' indicator will confirm the active source.
Special Function Operation
Mouse Traversal: Slide the mouse to the far right of the display for 2 seconds to automatically switch to the next port.
USB-B Detection: The switch automatically detects when a PC is connected via USB-B and switches to it. If the current PC is powered off or disconnected, it switches to the next active PC.
Hotkey Functions: Use the following combinations on a standard keyboard (connected to the back panel USB-A ports):
- Switch to next port: Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock + Right Arrow or Down Arrow
- Switch to previous port: Scroll Lock + Scroll Lock + Left Arrow or Up Arrow
