keyboard and mouse will be recognized and now
you can begin operating the KVM switch.
The correct setup sequence is ……
(1) Connect the shared keyboard, monitor and mouse (and
optional speaker set and microphone) to the KVM Switch first,
and then connect your computers.
Easy Operation
There are two methods to control your KVM Switch for PC
switching: using the face-panel push button or a hotkey
sequence. For audio/mic switching, use the hotkey
command. See Quick Reference Sheet
(2) Power up your connected computers…
Since the KVM Switch receives power from the computer’s PS/2
interface, it is powered up when you connect the KVM Switch to a
PC.
Face-panel buttons
Out-of-the-box Installation
The face-panel buttons allows you a direct control over PC
port switching. Simply press the button to switch PC port. By
default, PC port switching and Audio/Mic port switching are
bound together (both will be switched simultaneously).
If you want to enable the binding of PC and audio/mic port
switching, use the hotkey sequence, ScrLk +ScrLk + Q. To
disable the binding again, just hit ScrLk +ScrLk + W. See
Quick Reference Sheet
Take the KVM Switch out of the box and begin installation….
DO NOT TRY to connect the KVM Switch to the computers

computer will have difficulty recognizing your shared keyboard and
mouse.

using appropriate KVM & Audio/Mic cables.
Introduction
The Edimax KVM switch series is a 2/4-port Slim Palmtop
PS/2 KVM Switch with optional audio and microphone
switching function. It allows you to access, control, boot and
reboot multiple PS/2-enabled computers using only one
keyboard, video, mouse, and optional speaker set and
microphone. It also offers user-programmable
simultaneous/independent switching of PC channel and
Audio/Mic channel for flexible multimedia application with
KVM switching. For users who might need to use a hotkey
preceding sequence other than two scroll locks, we also
offer five key alternatives for free configuration.
Step 1. Hit ScrollLock + ScrollLock + H, then two beeps will signal
readiness for new preceding sequence selection. [or Press
and hold down the last front-panel button (Button 2 or Button
4) until you hear two beeps, and then release the button.]
Step 2. Select and press the key you would like to use as your
preceding sequence (SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12 or
NUM LOCK keys are available for selection) and you’ll hear
a beep for selection confirmation. Now you can use the new
preceding sequence to execute your hotkey commands.
Another way to activate the Hotkey preceding sequence
configuration is to press the last front-panel button (button 2/button
4) for over 3 seconds to set the KVM switch into hotkey
configuration mode. Then you select and press the key that you’ll
choose as the preceding sequence.

Notes:
1. Note that (x) denotes a number key for the selected port number (x = 1 ~ 2). You can use either the top row number keys or the number pad for the hotkey commands.
2. When the binding of PC & Audio/Mic port switching is enabled by the hotkey sequence: ScrLk + ScrLk + Q, any PC and Audio/Mic switching are bound together. To remove this binding, hit ScrLk + ScrLk + W.
Hotkey convention: The hotkey notation ScrLk + ScrLk + (key), denotes that you should hit the individual key consecutively one at a time, not simultaneously.
Mouse Troubleshooting: If your mouse hangs or behaves abnormally, you can hit the following hotkey commands for mouse reset:
(a) When you are using a PnP OS such as Windows 98 Second Edition or later Windows operating systems such as Win2k, WinXP, etc., hit ScrLk + ScrLk + End for mouse reset.
(b) When you are using a non-PnP OS such as Linux, NT4.0, etc, just hit one of the following hotkey commands for mouse reset according to your mouse configuration on the non-PnP OS --
ScrLk + ScrLk + M + 1 for a 2-key mouse setting; ScrLk + ScrLk + M + 2 for a 3-key wheel mouse setting; ScrLk + ScrLk + M + 3 for a 5-key wheel mouse setting.
