Introduction General 4-to-1 KVM allows one monitor keyboard, and mouse to control 4 different PC’s or servers. It switches the video to display the selected PC’s video output at full resolution using buffered and wideband video circuits. It also routs the signals from the mouse and keyboard to the selected pc, while, at the same time, emulating a keyboard and a mouse for the unselected PCs so that they can detect and communicate with a “virtual” mouse and keyboard in order for the PCs to operate normally.
Setup FIGURE 1 4-to-1 KVM connector functions and the KVM-input cable 1. Use the special “KVM” (3-in-1) cable to connect PC #1 to the Switch. The black end connects to the Switch. The purple connector, of the “KVM” (3-in-1) cable, plugs into the keyboard port on PC #1. The teal connector, of the “KVM” (3-in-1) cable, plugs into the mouse port of PC #1 (it is best to turn off all PC’s when you are hooking them to the 4-to-1). 2. Repeat step 1 for the remaining PC’s.
There is a 2 second timeout between each hot key. This means that if the second Scroll Lock is not pressed within 2 seconds of the release of the first Scroll Lock, the sequence will be aborted and will not switch. The same situation applies to the number pressed after the release of the second Scroll Lock. The third way to switch between PC’s is the use of a Switch Partner (see accessories).
