8 3.2 hardware installation 1. find a convenient place to put your KVM-9000. when mounting to a rack, attach the included brackets to the sides of the KVM-9000. take note of the length of your cables so that your computers keyboard, mouse and monitor are distanced properly. 2. now the pc connections can be made with the monitor (vga) connections first. connect a vga cable (15-pin hddb male/ male) with the male side to both of the pc and the rear panel of the kvm switch to the connector labeled vga. repeat this for all pcs. 3. connect the first computer?s mouse cable to the KVM-9000. if using a ps/2 cable, connect one end to the ps/2 mouse port on the computer, while the other end is connected to the pc1 ps/2 mouse port on the back of KVM-9000.
9 4. connect the first computer?s keyboard cable to the kvm switch. when another ps/2 cable is used connect one end to ps/2 keyboard port on the computer, while the other end is connected to the pc1 keyboard port on the back of KVM-9000. if your computer has an at type keyboard port, you will need a ps/2 to at keyboard adapter. 5. double-check all of the connections. you can check the color of the keyboard and mouse connectors to make sure the keyboard and mouse cables go to the correct ports. 6. repeat step2 to 5 for the remainder of the computers. 7. attach the power supply to the KVM-9000 unit and plug the other end into an electrical receptacle . now you will see the led for port 1 light up, and you will hear a beep. 3.3 usage 3.3.1 power supply when you power on the KVM-9000, it will ask you for the password, the default password is eight zero ? ?00000000? . please key in eight zeros and enter the same value in the retyped field. note: if you are not familiar with the operation of osd menu, please don?t change the password ? i.e. keep default at eight zero (00000000) value, otherwise, if you have set the password and unfortunately forget the password, you need send it back to your distributor for maintaining the password. 3.3.2 7-segment led indication when you select one of the eight pc ports and this pc is shut down or this pc port is disconnected to the pc, the selected port led will flash. when you select one of the eight pc ports and this pc is powered on, the selected port led is lit.
10 3.3.3 keyboard hot key commands you can also conveniently command the KVM-9000 by switching ports through simple key sequences. to send commands to the KVM-9000, the ?scroll lock? key must be pressed twice within 2 seconds . you will hear a beep for confirmation and the keyboard is in hot key mode. if you have not pressed any key in hot key mode within 2 seconds, the keyboard will go back to normal operation system control state. below are the different hot key commands: + + = previous channel + + = next channel (note1) + + = previous bank + + = next bank + + = + + = beeper (note2) + + = auto scan (note3) + + = osd default value (note4) + + = search for the same pc name (note5) + + space bar = on screen display menu
11 example: a. to access a computer attached to port 6 of the fifth bank, you can press the hot keys as below: scroll lock + scroll lock + ?5? + ?0? ?6? b. to access a computer attached from bank 3 to bank 4, you can press the hot keys as below: scroll lock + scroll lock + page down note1: you also could press ?up arrow key? or ?down arrow key? for a period of time to speed up selecting the destination port note2: the default beeper function is on and beeper control is only available for scan mode note3: to get out of auto scan mode, press any key or space bar note4: password not included note5: search for pc name starting from 1 st pc port) note6: bank no. and port no. selection must be made using the numeric keys on the keyboard. numeric keys on the keypad are not available as a hot key command. 3.4 daisy chain connection diagram please use the attached 3-foot 3-in-one daisy chain cable kit for the KVM-9000. a. connect keyboard, mouse and monitor to the console port (white color block) of bank 1 KVM-9000. b. use one end of 3-in-one cable kit to connect the daisy chain port of bank 1 while the other end for the console port (white color block) of bank2 KVM-9000. c. please repeat item b to daisy chain more banks as you want. but, the maximum daisy chain bank is eight. d. before chaining the slave bank up to six banks, you need a vga extender between the fifth bank and the sixth bank to enhance the vga signal.
12 3.5 hot plug the KVM-9000 supports ?hot plug? function for easy addition or removal of pcs. the user can arrange or maintain pcs as follows: a. a pc can be disconnected and reconnected to the same or different port of the KVM-9000 unit without having to power it off as long as it is not the daisy-chain port or does not pass through port. b. you may unplug the mouse or the keyboard from the console port and plug it back in at any time. note: some o.s. (operation systems) like sco unix are unable to support ?hot plug? function. if you apply ?hot plug? to this kind of o.s., it will cause unpredictable behavior or shut down the pc. before attempting to use ?hot plug?, please make sure your o.s. and software driver supports the ?hot plug? function.
13 3.6 on screen display operation when you pop up the osd menu window going through the hot key is popped up, you will see the following small windows on your monitor. a. the 1 st line bar is bank no. b. the 2 nd block is your pc system name list. you will find the system number list from 01 to 8. you can define your pc name in a maximum of 8 characters. the factory default names for all ports are ?system 01? to ?system 08?. besides, the sun symbol near the pc name represents the pc system that is powered on. to use up arrow key ? ? or down arrow key ? ? to select port for destinated pc name. after you have selected the pc port already, you can press the enter key to switch the pc port you want immediately to use ?pgup? key or ?pgdn? key for selecting previous or next bank no. (or box no.) after editing a pc name by pressing the ?ins? key, please press ?enter? key for saving the information.
14 to use ?tab? key to select items like bank, osd, scan, change password, console on/off, etc. a. the ?osd: 10 sec.? means that the osd windows displays or pc system name exists for 10 sec. on your monitor. you can modify it from 05 sec. to 99 sec. the factory default value is 10 sec. b. the ?scan time? means that scan interval from one pc port to next pc port. the default scan time is 10 sec. and the maximum scan time is 99 sec. c. the ?change password? is for user to avoid all pc systems to be intruded by the other person. the default password is 8 digits ?00000000?. an ?enter password? window will show when you select this item and then press the enter. eight digits is the maximum for the password. after keying in the password, press the enter key. another window for confirming your typed password will show. you need to retype the password to check whether it is confirmed to be right or not.
