This section provides complete instructions for the hardware setup of a single KVM Switch.
(F1DS102J or F1DS104J)
Installing the KVM Switch
The KVM Switch is a plug-and-play device for installation. For a quick start on installation and
operation, please follow the instructions below for the setup sequence:
NOTE: If you are using a PS/2 computer: Please make sure that all of your PS/2 computers are powered off before
connecting to the KVM Switch. Otherwise, the KVM Switch system might not be properly set up. However, USB
computers do not have this limitation.
Connect the Audio
NOTE: Speakers and microphones are not required for use of your KVM Switch.
Single-Switch Installation
Audio and Microphone Connections
Step 1.
Connect the shared keyboard, mouse, and
monitor to the console port on the rear of the
KVM Switch.
NOTE: The special KVM cable provides a PS/2 keyboard connector, a USB connector, and an HDB video connector for
the computer connection. When connecting to a USB computer, just plug the USB connector to it and leave the PS/2
connector dangling free. When connecting to a PS/2 computer, just add one USB-to-PS/2 adapter to the USB connector
and you’ll have a PS/2 connector for the mouse. Do NOT connect the USB connector and the PS/2 keyboard
connector to a computer at the same time.
Step 3.
The monitor and KVM must be powered up first. Then, power up the connected computers.
After your computer is powered up, the keyboard and mouse will be recognized and you can
begin using the KVM Switch.
Step 2.
Connect each of your computers to a
computer port on the rear of the KVM
Switch. You should use the special USB
PS/2 KVM cable (with the USB-to-PS/2
adapter) for connection to a USB computer
(PS/2 computer).
Step 1.
Using the audio cable attached to
your speakers, connect the male
3.5mm plug to the lime audio jack
in the “Console” section of the KVM
Switch.
Step 2.
Using the mic cable attached to
your microphone, connect the male
3.5mm plug to the pink mic jack in the
“Console” section of the KVM Switch.
Step 3.
Using the SOHO USB Cable Kit, connect one
end of the lime male 3.5mm plug to the speaker
jack of your sound card or computer, and
connect the other end to the audio jack of the
KVM Switch.
Step 4.
Using the KVM Cable, connect one end of the
pink male 3.5mm plug to the mic jack of your
sound card or computer, and connect the other
end to the pink mic jack of the KVM Switch.
