SERVSWITCH™ BRAND CATX KVM EXTENDER FAMILY

To register generic devices:

1. Enter Command mode

(see page 27).

2. Press the key combination:

The Remote Unit will now exit Command mode whilst the Local Unit re-connects as a device

with the transferred descriptors. During this time you will be unable to use USB devices.

Should any problems arise after issuing the command, simply USB hot-plug the Local Unit.

Each time you issue this command all of the additional HID devices you wish to register must

be connected as details of the previous registration are overwritten. Registration only needs to

be performed once.

USB Device Registration will enable operation with any generic HID

device that only sends data to the host, and does not require a vendor

driver (i.e. it can utilize the operating system’s own HID driver).

If an HID device requires a special driver, or your keyboard has

multimedia keys that also function as normal keys then it is unlikely to be

fully supported by the extender.

Please refer to Appendix H: New Features, page 57 and check with

Technical Support regarding the availability of later firmware releases

supporting a wider range of HID devices.
