Introduction Overview The StarView SV231 is a computer switch that allows access to two IBM compatible computers from one keyboard, mouse and monitor. Switching between computers is as easy as pressing the push button or entering hot-key commands from your keyboard. There is no interface card and software to install and the StarView is independent of the computer operating system. The space-saving design enables you to connect all the cables to the back of the SV231.
Installation Device Connection Turn your computers off. Connect a PS/2 keyboard to the mini-DIN-6 port with a KEYBOARD icon and a PS/2 mouse to the mini-DIN-6 port MOUSE icon . Then connect your VGA monitor cable directly to the HD-DB- 15 port of CONSOLE as shown in figure 1. The monitor connected to the HD-DB-15 VGA port of the CONSOLE must be capable of synchronizing with the computer’s video signal. If you are uncertain about the monitor type, please consult the monitor user’s manual.
If your computer incorporates a serial mouse, a mouse adapter should be connected to the computer’s mouse port as shown in figure 3. (Note: use only the mouse adapter supplied with the SV231) NOTE: 1. The StarTech.com SV231’s automatic mouse conversion system allows you to connect computers using serial mice. 2. The mouse adapter can only be used on the PC side and will not work on the CONSOLE side. 3. If your PC uses an AT style keyboard, you will need an “AT-to-PS/2 keyboard adapter” at the PC side.

This procedure ensures the StarView receive computer settings correctly when computer boots.
