System Installation
8
Connect up to two USB 2.0 devices to the USB hub ports on the front panels of the first- and
second-level KVM switches.
Note: Connected USB 2.0 devices can only be accessed by computers that are directly
connected to the corresponding KVM switch. For example, a computer connected to a KVM
switch with BANK 01 will not be able to access the USB 2.0 devices connected to the KVM
switch with BANK 00.
9
Connect the included power supplies to the DC power jacks on the back of the first- and
second-level KVM switches, then plug them into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector, Power Distribution
Unit (PDU), Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), or wall-outlet.
10
Power on all connected devices.
Operation
Pushbutton Commands
To access and switch between connected computers via pushbutton commands, simply press the
desired front-panel pushbutton to toggle the focus of the KVM, audio and USB hub ports to the
desired computer.
Keyboard Hotkey Commands
Another way to switch between connected computers is to use keyboard hotkey commands. Besides
allowing you to switch computers, hotkey commands enable you to perform other functions, such
as binding/unbinding computer switching with the USB hub ports, initiate an auto scan, and more.
The table below lists the available hotkey commands and their functions. Hotkey commands are
performed by pressing each key in the sequence in succession.
