OPTIONAL: If connecting a computer system to the Console Unit, switch off the
computer and disconnect any existing devices. Using the provided StarTech.com
integrated USB, DVI, Audio KVM cable, connect the computer system to the Console
Unit’s “Computer” connectors. Reconnect any necessary peripheral devices to the Host
computer, removed previously.
Before Cascading with KVM Switch
If connecting the Extender to a KVM switch, make sure that the following have been
completed before connecting the KVM Switch to the Console or Computer Unit.
1. Determine whether a DVI or HDMI display will be used, and then, on the Computer
Unit, set monitor display mode to DVI ( [Press and hold Selection button for 2
seconds] - [V ] - [D] ) or HDMI ( [Press and hold Selection button for 2 seconds] - [V] -
[M] ) accordingly. (The signal from the Computer Unit is transmitted to the Console
Unit in one direction only, so it is not necessary to make this setting on the Console
Unit)
2. Enable Compatibility Mode by entering the hotkey command ( [Ctrl] - [Ctrl] - [Alt] +
[E] ) and then two beeps should be generated as the confirmation. In Compatibility
Mode, set the control to Local or Remote by inputting the hotkey ( [Ctrl] - [Ctrl] - [T] ).
OR
If the KVM Switch is directly connected to Computer Unit, switch ON the Mask
Hotkey switch on both Units. If the KVM Switch is directly connected to the Console
Unit, switch ON the Mask Hotkey switch on the Console Unit only.
Connect the KVM Switch to the Console or Computer Unit after above set up completed.
Driver Installation
The KVM Extender is a complete hardware solution so no software or driver installation
is required on any computer system.
