Thank you for purchasing this INTELLINET NETWORK SOLUTIONS™ Cat5 KVM Switch, Model 503907 (8-port) or Model 503914 (16-port). Designed for computer/server management, this rackmount device provides dual-console access for up to 64 (8-port) or 128 (16-port) computers using cost-effective Cat5e/6 cabling. With dual-console control, administrators can work at a second location if the need arises, and share the same video and keyboard/mouse control with the local console.
Setup/Installation CAUTION: Before connecting to the Cat5 KVM Switch, all PS/2 computers should be powered off unless the PS/2 interface has already been initialized and operating; otherwise, the switch system might not be properly set up. USB computers do not have this limitation. 1. Connect the shared keyboard, mouse and monitor to the console connectors on the rear of your (master) Cat5 KVM Switch. Power on the switch by connecting and plugging in the power adapter cord.
5. Power up the connected computer(s). Each keyboard and mouse will be recognized and you can begin operating the switch(es). Remote Console Unit (Model #503983) PS/2 or USB Dongle Operation There are two ways to select a specific computer (on a specific switch, if you have daisy-chained switches): using hotkey sequences (see the Quick Reference Sheet on Page 9) or the OSD Main menu (below).
1. Press ScrollLock + ScrollLock + H. Two beeps will signal readiness for new preceding sequence selection. 2. Press the key you would like to use as your preceding sequence: Optional keys are SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12 or NUM LOCK. A third beep indicates selection confirmation: You can now use the new preceding sequence to execute your hotkey commands NOTE: Each keystroke within a hotkey sequence needs to be pressed within 2 seconds; otherwise, the hotkey sequence will not be validated.
• Autoscan Period: specifies the functions’s delay time. • Title Bar: specifies the bar’s position: Left, Right, Disable. • Hotkey: specifies the hotkey preceding sequence (SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12 or NUM LOCK). • Password: enables/disables password protection. • Load Default: lets you load the default settings. • Enable Remote Console / Disable Remote Console: toggles between these two options. If the remote console is off (disabled), an OSD reminder will display below the title bar.
Dongle Status Submenu: This screen presents the resident dongle firmware version on the switch and on various other dongles. You can also perform a manual upgrade of an individual dongle: Select the dongle and press Enter to confirm the upgrade. During the upgrade, a progress bar will display through completion. • F4: lets you toggle between Auto Upg(rade) and Manual Upg(rade). Port Switching To switch ports using hotkeys, use this configuration sequence: ScrLk + ScrLk + a + b + y + z, where ab = bank no.
Firmware Upgrade This Cat5 KVM Switch allows the upgrade of firmware whenever needed to enhance compatibility with other devices or to update the switch’s functions and performance. For the Cat5 KVM Switch itself, use a USB cable (type A or B) to connect a host computer to the Daisy Chain In port on the back panel of the switch. For the dongle, use the Auto Upgrade feature available on the Dongle Status submenu (see above).
