Setup/Installation
CAUTION: Before connecting to the Cat5 KVM Switch, all PS/2
computers should be powered off unless the PS/2 interface has already
been initialized and operating; otherwise, the switch system might not
be properly set up. USB computers do not have this limitation.
1. Connect the shared keyboard, mouse and monitor to the console
connectors on the rear of your (master) Cat5 KVM Switch. Power on
the switch by connecting and plugging in the power adapter cord.
NOTE: If using a single Cat5 KVM Switch in a non-cascaded application,
go directly to Step 4. To daisy-chain switches, continue to Step 2. You
can daisy-chain up to 8 levels of Cat5 KVM Switches, with as many as
64 (8-port) or 128 (16-port) computers connected.
2. Use the enclosed daisy-chain cable (HD15 male to female) to connect
the female Daisy Chain Out port of the master (first) switch to the male
Daisy Chain In port of the second switch. Connect the power adapter
cord to the second switch to power it on.
3. If you have yet another switch to be daisy-chained, just repeat Step 2
to connect them. You can daisy-chain up to 8 units of KVM switches.
Plug a terminator onto the Daisy Chain Out port of the last unit. (No
terminator required if only using a single unit.)
4. With the Cat5 KVM switch — or daisy-chained switches — powered
up and initialized, use an INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS Dongle
for Cat5 KVM Switch (Model 503938 for USB; Model 503921 for PS/2)
to connect the computer(s) to a computer port or ports on the rear of
the switch(es). NOTE: If using a PS/2 dongle, connect to the mouse
port before the keyboard port for a proper initializing sequence.

5. Power up the connected computer(s). Each keyboard and mouse will
be recognized and you can begin operating the switch(es).

Operation
There are two ways to select a specific computer (on a specific switch,
if you have daisy-chained switches): using hotkey sequences (see the
Quick Reference Sheet on Page 9) or the OSD Main menu (below).
Keyboard Hotkeys
A keyboard hotkey sequence consists of at least three specific keystrokes:
ScrLk + ScrLk + Command key(s). If you prefer a preceding sequence
other than two consecutive Scroll Locks:

1. Press ScrollLock + ScrollLock + H. Two beeps will signal readiness
for new preceding sequence selection.
2. Press the key you would like to use as your preceding sequence:
Optional keys are SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12 or NUM LOCK.
A third beep indicates selection confirmation: You can now use the
new preceding sequence to execute your hotkey commands
NOTE: Each keystroke within a hotkey sequence needs to be pressed
within 2 seconds; otherwise, the hotkey sequence will not be validated.
OSD (On-Screen Display) Menus
With the Cat5 KVM Switch(es) installed and
powered on for the first time, an OSD login
prompt will display. Since by default the password protection is disabled,
you can just press Enter to bypass the prompt and access all the control
features as ADMIN.
To activate the OSD menu, use the hotkey sequence ScrLk + ScrLk +
Space Bar. To deactivate the menu, press ESC.
Main Menu:
• To select a computer: Press the Up/Down arrow keys to navigate;
press PgUp/PgDn to scroll;
press Enter to select.
• To edit a computer name:
Press Insert to edit; Enter to
confirm; Esc to delete.
• To rotate through the Main,
Video Setting, Setup and
Status screens: Press F1.
• To save any modifications:
Press F2 and “Saving
parameters” will display.
• To log out: Press F10. NOTE: This will lock the keyboard and mouse
for security; a password will be needed to log back in.
Setup Menu:
• Auto Logout: specifies a time for auto logout (00–99 min.)
• OSD Timeout: specifies the time the OSD menu remains on screen.
ꢃ

• Autoscan Period: specifies
the functions’s delay time.
• Title Bar: specifies the bar’s
position: Left, Right, Disable.
• Hotkey: specifies the hotkey
preceding sequence
(SCROLL LOCK, CAPS,
ESC, F12 or NUM LOCK).
• Password: enables/disables password protection.
• Load Default: lets you load the default settings.
• Enable Remote Console / Disable
Remote Console: toggles between
these two options. If the remote console is off (disabled), an OSD
reminder will display below the title bar.
Video Setting Menu:
• Gain: lets you specify the
gain level (00-50).
• Equ: lets you specify the
equalization level (00-50).
• To adjust the VGA setting:
Go to Main/Video Setting,
then begin to adjust Gain
and Equalization. You may
need to try several combinations before you find a preferred setting.
Status Menu:
This screen presents the unit-
specific bank number, firmware
version, KVM switch model
and the maximum number of
ports. In a daisy-chained
application, it lists details of
all banks. Press Enter to go
to the Dongle Status screen.

Dongle Status Submenu:
This screen presents the
resident dongle firmware
version on the switch and on
various other dongles. You
can also perform a manual
upgrade of an individual
dongle: Select the dongle and
press Enter to confirm the upgrade.
During the upgrade, a progress bar
will display through completion.
• F4: lets you toggle between Auto Upg(rade) and Manual Upg(rade).
Port Switching
To switch ports using hotkeys, use this configuration sequence:
ScrLk + ScrLk + a + b + y + z, where ab = bank no., yz = port no., so that
ScrLk + ScrLk + 0 + 2 + 1 + 6 switches to Bank 2, Port 16.
To switch ports using the OSD, go to the Main menu and use the Up/Down
arrow keys and/or PgUp/PgDn keys to find and highlight the computer
you want to switch to, then press Enter.
Log In/Out
The Log In and Log Out functions are dependent on the Password feature;
that is, they are only useful when Password is enabled on the Setup menu.
To maximize console security, of course, always enable Password and
adopt a strict log in/out policy. Minimizing the Auto Logout timeframe can
help restrict access, too.
Troubleshooting Tip
If a keyboard and/or mouse locks up, unplug the component(s) and then
re-connect after a few seconds to re-initialize. If the problem continues,
unplug the dongle from that computer and then re-connect after a few
seconds. (If a PS/2, re-connect to the mouse port first, then the keyboard
port.) If neither of these procedures solves the problem, reboot the
computer to completely reset the keyboard and mouse.

Firmware Upgrade
This Cat5 KVM Switch allows the upgrade of firmware whenever needed
to enhance compatibility with other devices or to update the switch’s
functions and performance. For the Cat5 KVM Switch itself, use a USB
cable (type A or B) to connect a host computer to the Daisy Chain
In port on the back panel of the switch. For the dongle, use the Auto
Upgrade feature available on the Dongle Status submenu (see above).
Quick Reference Sheet
The Quick Reference Sheet on Page 9 lists operation commands, hotkeys,
OSD menu controls and front-panel buttons. Note the following:
• OSD menu control is only available when the OSD menu is activated
on the screen. To activate: ScrLk + ScrLk + Space Bar. When the OSD
menu is active, the mouse will be locked until the OSD menu is off.
• Note that a, b, y and z each denote a number key: (ab) = 1–16; (yz) =
1–8. For example, ScrLk + ScrLk + 03 + 06 is for Bank 3 Port 6. When
using a single KVM switch, the default bank no. is 01: ScrLk + ScrLk
+ 01 + 12 = Port 12.
• The password is up to 8 characters long, and is required for access to
your KVM switch once you enable password protection.
