Installation  
NOTE: Prior to the installation, please power off all devices that will be  
connected to this system.  
Ensure that all devices you will connect are properly grounded.  
Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and  
machines that are likely to generate electrical noise.

and PS/2 console connections, and are equipped with a slide switch  
console selector for the selection of USB or PS/2 modes. There are  
three connection patterns that correspond with the slide switch as  
follows:  
PS/2 Keyboard and PS/2 Mouse: A PS/2 “Y” cable (provided) is  
required for this mode.

USB Keyboard and USB Mouse: Slide switch to the far right position.  
Slide Switch selection:  
USB keyboard and USB mouse  
NOTE: When configuring the switch as a Slave in a cascaded  
configuration, PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse is the only mode that can  
be used. Therefore, SV431DUSB cannot be configured as a slave in a  
cascaded setup, as it does not provide a slide switch selector.  
Computer Installation  
USB Computer  
To connect a computer controlled through USB, use a StarTech.com  
2-in-1 Ultra-Thin USB KVM cable (Product ID: SVECONUS) to connect  
from one of the PC Ports located on the rear panel of the KVM switch  
to the USB and VGA ports on the computer system.

PS/2 Computer  
To connect a computer controlled through PS/2, use a StarTech.com  
3-in-1 Ultra-Thin PS/2 KVM cable (Product ID: SVECON) to connect  
from one of the PC ports to the PS/2 keyboard and mouse, as well as  
the VGA port of the computer system.  
Cascaded configurations  
NOTE: The master must have equal or more PC ports than that of the  
slave. For example, if an 8-port switch is the Master, an 8-port or 4-port  
switch can be a Slave, but not a 16-port switch.  
NOTE: PS/2-only models can be cascaded with USB+PS/2 universal  
models.  
NOTE: To be used as Slaves in a cascaded configuration, the slide  
switch on SV831DUSB or SV1631DUSB must be adjusted to PS/2  
mode.  
The ports labelled PC 1 - PC 8 can be connected to either a computer  
or a Slave’s CONSOLE port. The ports marked PC A - PC H can  
only be connected to computers. Use only the 3-in-1 (PS/2) cables to  
connect the Master’s PC ports and Slave’s CONSOLE port.

The maximum number of computers controlled by a Master/Slave  
configuration with all 8-port units is 64, with 8 Slaves and each Slave  
connecting to 8 computers:  
The maximum number of computers controlled in a Master/Slave  
configuration with all 16-port units is 136, with 8 units of 16-port Slaves  
(to PC 1 - PC 8) and each Slave connected to 16 computers, plus 8  
more computers connected directly to the Master (to ports PC A - PC  
H):  
After the connection has been completed, please re-activate the OSD  
menu to verify that the Master recognizes the Slaves. A triangle mark  
(
) is placed next to the right of the channel name indicating that the  
port is connected to a Slave, not a computer. A number to the left of the  
triangle mark indicates the Slave model, i.e. ‘8’ for an 8-port switch.  
NOTE: A device (computer or KVM switch) at any ‘PC x’ port can be  
changed at any time after initial power-up. If you change any one of the

PC 1 to PC 8 port connections from a computer to a Slave KVM switch  
or vice versa, or replace the devices of a port, the OSD will update this  
change the next time it is activated.  
Operation  
You may select a computer by pressing the front panel push button  
directly, by issuing hot-key commands or by activating the OSD  
window. The front panel indicator changes to reflect the computer  
port selected (red) and whether the port is connected to a powered  
computer (green). The indicator flashes red when it is in either Auto  
Scan or Manual Scan mode.  
Push Button controls  
To select control of an attached computer, press the front panel button  
that corresponds with the assigned computer number. For 16 port  
models, 1 to 8 represents the lower 8 ports, while A to H indicates the  
higher ports. Ports 1 and A share the same pushbutton, as do 2 and B,  
3 and C etc.  
Example: If port 1 is already selected and you wish to switch to Port  
A, tap the shared pushbutton once to select Port A. If Port 1 is not  
selected, press and hold pushbutton 1 for two seconds to select Port A.  
K/M Reset  
K/M Reset resolves the majority of problems developed by keyboard  
and/or mouse device replacement or configuration changes. Press  
down buttons 1 and 2 simultaneously for 2 seconds to reconfigure  
the whole system without having to turn off the KVM switch or any  
attached computers.  
Auto Scan  
This KVM switch provides an easy to use feature to start Auto  
Scanning. To use this function, simultaneously press buttons 7 and  
8 and hold for two seconds. (SV431DUSB uses buttons 3 and 4 to  
launch this function).

Hot-key commands  
Hot-key command is a short keyboard sequence used to select  
a computer, to activate computer scan, etc. StarView interprets  
keystrokes followed by one or two more keystrokes. A built-in buzzer  
generates a high-pitch beep for a correct hotkey command, otherwise,  
one low-pitch beep for an error and the bad key sequence will not be  
forwarded to the selected computer.  
The short form hotkey menu can be turned on as an OSD function  
(<F4>:More\Hotkey Menu) every time the left <CTRL> is pressed twice.  
NOTE: Left <CTRL>: refers to the Control key on the left side of the  
keyboard.

Sun/Mac Keyboard Mapping  
The KVM Switch emulates a Sun Keyboard when a computer is  
marked with a Sun, in the OSD menu by Function Key <F5>. A Sun  
keyboard has more keys than a standard PC keyboard. These extra  
keys are simulated by tapping the Right <CTRL> button, which is
