Configuring KVM Functionality
KVM functionality permits remote collaboration between different endpoints on the network
by allowing a mouse and keyboard connected to the decoder to control a PC connected to
the encoder. Both the VND 250 and VNE 250 units must be configured.
Before starting, ensure that a mouse and keyboard have been connected to the VND 250
and a PC has been connected to the VNE 250 (see USB Ports on page 17).
1. From the Device List tab (see page 30), click on one of the VNM 250 units that you
wish to configure. The Device tab opens.
2. Click the Peripherals tab. The page opens with the Mouse & Keyboard Control panel
on the right hand side of the window:

and decoder.
Once configured, the KVM mode is enabled using a hot key sequence on the keyboard
that is connected to the decoder.
