Overview

The CS-64APetite KVM Switch is a control unit that allows

access to four computers from a single console (keyboard,

monitor, and mouse). Before the development of the CS-64A,

the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a

single console was through a complex and costly network

system. Now, with a CS-64APetite KVM Switch installation, you

can easily access four computers in a cost effective manner.

The CS-64Aimproves on previous models with a 50% smaller

footprint and attached custom KVM cables. The result is a neat

and tidy workspace and trouble-free installation.

Recognizing the increased importance of sound, the CS-64Ais

speaker enabled. You can listen to the audio output of all the

computers (one at a time) on a single set of speakers.

Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate

ports is all that is entailed. Simple Hotkey combinations control

which computer has the KVM focus.

There is no software to configure, no installation routines, and

no incompatibility problems. Since the CS-64Aintercepts

keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and

with all operating systems.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a

CS-64Ainstallation. By allowing a single console to manage all

of the computers, the CS-64Aeliminates the expense of

purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each.

Additionally, it saves the extra space they would take up, and

eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in

constantly having to move from one computer to the other.

Front View

1. KVM Cables

These 4-in-1 cables connect to the keyboard, video, mouse,

and audio ports on the computers you are installing (see the

Installation diagram on p. 6).

2. Port LEDs

A LED lights to indicate its corresponding port is the one that

has the KVM focus. Depending on the port’s status, the LED

may flash according to a specific pattern (see the LED

Display Table, p. 10, for details).

3. Speaker Jack

The cable from your speakers (optional) plugs in here.

4. Console Ports

Your keyboard, monitor, and mouse, plug in here (see the

Installation diagram on p. 6). Each port is marked with an

appropriate icon to indicate itself.

1. Plug your keyboard, monitor, mouse into the appropriate

Console ports on the CS-64A. Each port is labeled with an

appropriate icon to indicate itself.

2. (Optional) Plug your speakers into the CS-64A’s speaker

jack.

3. Plug the attached KVM cables’ keyboard, monitor, mouse,

and speaker connectors into their respective ports on the

computers you are installing.

After you have finished cabling up, turn on the power to the

computers.

1. Before you begin, make sure that power to all the

devices you will be connecting up have been

turned off. You must unplug the power cords of

any computers that have the Keyboard Power On

function. Otherwise, the switch will receive power

from the computer.

Operation

Accessing all of your computers from a single console could not

be easier. The CS-64Auses Hotkey combinations to give the

KVM focus to the computer of your choice. The CS-64A

provides the following Hotkey features:

MSelecting the Active Port

MAuto Scan Mode

MSkip Mode

Invoking Hotkey Mode

All Hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey Mode. Invoking

Hotkey Mode takes three steps:

1. Press and hold down the Num Lock key

2. While [Num Lock] is down, press and release the asterisk

key or the minus key

3. Release the Num Lock key:

[Num Lock] + [*];

or:

[Num Lock] + [-];

Note: The asterisk or minus key must be released within one

half second, otherwise Hotkey invocation is canceled.

When Hotkey Mode is active:

MThe keyboard Caps Lock and Scroll Lock LEDs flash in

succession. They stop flashing and revert to normal status

when you exit Hotkey Mode.

MOrdinary keyboard and mouse functions are suspended -

only Hotkey compliant keystrokes and mouse clicks

(described in the sections that follow), can be input.

MPressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] exits Hotkey Mode.

Selecting the Active Port

Each CPU port is assigned a numeric Port ID (1 - 4). You can

give the KVM focus directly to any computer on the installation

with a Hotkey combination that specifies the ID of the port it is

attached to. The steps involved are:

1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 7)

2. Press and release the appropriate Port ID number (1, 2, 3,

or 4)

After you press the number, the KVM focus switches to the

designated computer and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode.

Auto Scan Mode

The CS-64A’s Auto Scan feature automatically cycles through

the four ports at regular 5 second intervals. This allows you to

monitor the computer activity without having to take the trouble

of switching from port to port manually. To start Auto Scan

Mode:

1. Invoke Hotkey Mode (see p. 7)

2. Press and release [A]

Once scanning begins, it continues until you press [Esc] or

[Spacebar] to exit Auto Scan Mode. The Port that is active at

the time scanning stops remains active.

Note: 1. Auto Scan only scans ports that are powered on. It

passes over any powered off ports.

2. While Auto Scan Mode is in effect, ordinary keyboard

and mouse functions are suspended. You must exit

Auto Scan Mode by pressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] in

order to regain normal control of their use.

3. Pressing [Esc] or [Spacebar] exits both Auto Scan

Mode and Hotkey Mode.
