Instruction manual

About drivers

You don’t need to install any drivers for this KVM switch, as the keyboard and mouse

use generic USB drivers that are already installed on any operating system that

supports USB technology.

Operating the KVM switch

About the LED indicators

There are three LED indicators located on the front of the KVM switch. For more

information about what the LED behavior indicates, see the table below.

LED Behavior Meaning

Computer 1 LED LED is illuminated red Computer is selected

LED is illuminated green Computer is connected

Computer 2 LED LED is illuminated red Computer is selected

LED is illuminated green Computer is connected

Select a port

• To switch between connected computers, press the Select button on the front of

the KVM switch.

The LED of the selected computer illuminates red.

Using hotkey commands

If you’re using a computer that is running a version of Windows® or Linux®, you can use

hotkey commands to operate the KVM switch. All hotkey commands begin by pressing

the Left Ctrl key twice and then pressing one or two additional keys.

The KVM switch emits a high-pitched beep when you enter a correct command and a

low-pitched beep when you enter an incorrect command. Incorrect hotkey commands

aren’t sent to the computer.

To use hotkey commands, the keyboard you’re using needs to be connected to the

Console USB keyboard port.

Note: Hotkey commands aren’t supported in the Mac OS operating system.

Instruction manual

Enable or disable hotkey commands

By default, hotkey commands are enabled on the KVM switch.

• To disable hotkey commands, press and hold the Left Shift key and press Num Lock

twice. Release the Left Shift key and then press the Left Ctrl key.

• To enable hotkey commands, press and hold the Left Shift key and press Num Lock

twice. Release the Left Shift key and then press the Left Ctrl key.

Select a computer

To select a computer, press the Left Ctrl key twice and the number of the PC port that

you want to select.

For example, if you wanted to select computer 2, you would press Left Ctrl, Left Ctrl, 2.

Note: Don’t use the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard when you

complete the hotkey command above.

Enable or disable Independent Audio Switching

By default, Independent Audio Switching is disabled on the KVM switch, which means

that the audio selection is determined by the computer that you select. For example, if

you select computer 1 and then switch to computer 2, the audio selection changes to

computer 2.

You can enable Independent Audio Switching and make the audio selection

independent from the computer that is currently selected. For example, if you select

computer 1 and then switch to computer 2, the audio selection would remain with

computer 1 until you change it.

• To enable Independent Audio Switching, on the computer with the audio that you

want to listen to, press Left Ctrl, Left Ctrl, F5.

• To disable Independent Audio Switching, press Left Ctrl, Left Ctrl, F5.

The KVM switch beeps once to indicate that Independent Audio Switching is enabled,

and beeps twice to indicate that Independent Audio Switching is disabled.

Alternative hotkey commands

In addition to the Left Ctrl hotkey commands, there are two alternative commands

that you can use to select a computer:

• Press Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock, the number of the PC port that you want to select.

• Press and hold the Left Shift key and press Num Lock twice. Release the Left Shift

key and then press the number of the PC port that you want to select.

Note: Do not use the numeric keypad on the right side of the keyboard when you

complete the hotkey commands listed above.

Instruction manual

Troubleshooting

If you experience issues using this KVM switch and you’re using a PC, you may want to

make the following changes to the BIOS settings on your computer:

1. Set HALT ON ERROR to All but keyboard.

2. In PNP AND PCI SETUP, do the following:

• Set PNP OS INSTALLED to YES.

• Set USB IRQ to ENABLED.

I can’t get my wireless mouse and keyboard to work

Some wireless mice and keyboards do work with KVM switches, but in general most

wireless mice and keyboards don’t support KVM switches. If you’re using a wireless

mouse and keyboard in your setup and are experiencing issues with your KVM switch,

try the following:

• Remove the wireless mouse and keyboard transmitter from the Console USB mouse

port and the Console USB keyboard port, and move the transmitter to one of the

USB hub ports on the KVM switch.

Note: Hotkey commands won’t work if the wireless keyboard transmitter is plugged

into one of the USB hub ports.

If you’re still experiencing issues, replace the wireless mouse and keyboard with a

wired mouse and keyboard.

I can’t get my gaming or combination mouse and

keyboard to work

Gaming mice and keyboards and combination mice and keyboards have more buttons

and functionality than 3-button mice and 104-key keyboards. Most KVM switches

don’t support the additional key functions and using them in your setup may impact

the performance of your KVM switch. As such, StarTech.com recommends that you use

a standard 3-button wired mouse and a 104-key wired keyboard in your setup.

My display or video destination uses a dierent type of

video connector than DisplayPort

If the display or video destination in your setup uses a dierent type of video

connector than DisplayPort, you can use a converter to change the output type. For

more information, visit www.StarTech.com to see the dierent types of converters

available.
