Installation

This section will guide you through the installation of your KVM switch. Please read

through this section carefully and complete each step in the order listed.

Connecting Your Console

1. Make sure that all devices are turned off and unplugged.

2. Plug your PS/2 keyboard into the purple mini-DIN-6 port on the switch. On the

SV211 and SV211K, the keyboard port is located on the back of the switch. On the

SV411 and SV411K, the keyboard port is located on the right side of the switch.

3. Plug your PS/2 mouse into the green mini-DIN-6 port on the switch. On the SV211

and SV211K, the mouse port is located on the back of the switch. On the SV411 and

SV411K, the mouse port is located on the right side of the switch.

4. Plug your monitor into the HD-DB-15 monitor port located on the right side of the

back of the switch.

NOTE: The KVM switch uses negligible power and is designed to run without an

external power source. You can, however, plug a DC9V power adapter (not included)

into the device’s optional power port.

Connecting Your Computers

The KVM switch requires the use of StarTech.com 3-in-1 KVM cables (included with the

SV211K and SV411K). The “single” end of the cable connects to the KVM switch, the

“triple” end connects to your computer.

1. Make sure all computers are turned off.

2. Plug the single HD-DB-15 connector into one of the PC ports on the back of the

switch.

3. Plug the blue HD-DB-15 connector into your PC’s monitor port.

4. Plug the purple keyboard connector into your PC’s keyboard port.

5. Plug the green mouse connector into your PC’s mouse port.

6. Repeat steps 2 to 5 for each computer you want to connect to the switch.

7. Turn on all computers.

NOTE: You can hot-plug additional computers to the KVM switch any time after the

initial power up.

Using Your KVM Switch

The LEDs on the switch indicate which PC is active. You can scroll between PCs by either

pressing the push-button on the top of the switch or by using a hotkey command. A

hotkey command is a short sequence of keystrokes beginning with two left Ctrl

keystrokes followed by another keystroke. Use only the left Ctrl key and do not use the

keypad at the right of the keyboard.

Selecting a Computer

Auto-Scan Mode

Auto-scan mode will be suspended if the switch detects any keyboard or mouse activity.

When the activity ceases, auto-scan mode will resume. The auto-scan interval can be set

to 3seconds (default setting, represented by one beep), 8seconds (two beeps), 15 seconds

(three beeps), and 30 seconds (four beeps).

Keyboard Typematic Rate

The keyboard typematic rate set on the KVM will over-ride any typematic rate set by the

PC’s BIOS or operating system. The typematic rate can be set to 10 characters/second

(represented by one beep), 15 characters/second (two beeps), 20 characters/second

(three beeps), or 30 characters/second (four beeps).

Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing any difficulties, first make sure that all your cables are connected

to their proper ports and are firmly seated.

My keyboard or mouse does not work.

The keyboard or mouse may not have initialized properly. Press and hold the push

button for three seconds to re-initialize the keyboard and mouse. If problems persist,

unplug the mouse or keyboard, wait a few seconds, then plug them back in.

My keyboard strokes are shifted.

The computer was left in a shifted state when last switched. Press both Shift keys.

The Up and Down arrow keys do not work in manual scan mode.

You may only have one computer turned on. Manual scan will only scroll through

powered-on computers.

My KVM switch occasionally fails to function.

Your computers might not be providing enough power for the switch to function

correctly. Plug a DC9V 500mA (minimum) power adapter into the power port on the

switch.

My auto-scan interval keeps returning to the default.

If all computers connected to the KVM switch are turned off, the KVM will return to its

default settings. If you want to keep your auto-scan interval, make sure that at least one

of your computers is on at all times.

The LED on my SV411/SV411K keeps flashing.

The LED on the SV411/SV411K will flash while in Auto-Scan or Manual Scan modes.

There is nothing wrong with the switch.
