Installation
This section details how to install the optional software, as well as how to make the
necessary physical connections between your peripherals and the KVM switch. For best
results, ensure that all of the computers to be controlled are located as close as possible
to the KVM switch and console peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse), as this will reduce
the length of cabling required and reduces the chance of interference.
KVM Switcher Software
1. For each computer that will be connected to the KVM switch, please insert the
companion CD ROM into your CD drive. The installation program USBKVMIn.exe should
run automatically, however if it does not, please locate the file on the disk and double-click
on the icon to launch the application:
Please note: If the installation software does not launch from the included Software CD, please copy
it to your local hard disk and attempt to install it locally.
Please note: The KVM Switcher software is recommended for use on computers running Windows
98SE or higher, or Mac OS 10.4 (Tiger) or higher.
2. When the software Welcome Screen appears, please click on Software Installation for
Windows/Mac to begin installation, and follow the on-screen instructions to completion.
Once the software has been installed, you will see a KVM Switcher icon on the system tray
of your desktop. Right-click on the icon to launch the operation menu, or double-click to
evoke the configuration box.

Operation
There are three methods to control your KVM Switch for PC and Audio/Mic channel

Front Panel Pushbuttons
The front panel pushbuttons provide direct control over KVM switching operation. Simply
press the button to switch to the corresponding PC port (as well as the audio/mic
channel ports if binding is enabled). By default, PC port switching and audio/mic port
switching are bound together, unless you bind the audio to a specific port.
Please note: You can use the front panel pushbuttons to switch to an empty port (not
connected to a slave computer), but the keyboard hotkeys or KVM Switcher Software
cannot perform the same function.
Keyboard Hotkeys
Please note: Each keystroke within a hotkey sequence should be pressed within two
seconds. Otherwise, the hotkey sequence will not be validated
Please note: After switching ports, you must wait until the KVM Switcher icon updates
accurately in the taskbar, before switching again.
