Chapter Ⅰ Introduction
Product introductions
The 8/16-port USB rack-mountable KVM multi-computer switch is a multi-
functional device that allows administrators to access an 8/16 HDMI computer
from a set of USB keyboards, mice, or a set of keyboards, mice, and consoles.
There are four convenient ways provided to switch the computers in the
installation architecture: (1) use the connection port selection button on the
front panel of the switch; (2) input the hot key combination from the
keyboard; (3) select from the on-screen display (OSD) menu. The Auto Scan
function provides automatic scanning and monitors the computers in the
installation architecture one by one. (4) The remote network control operation
is carried out through the network port of the extended IP module to connect
to the computer on KVM.
This product is very quick and easy to install. Simply connect the connection
cable to the appropriate connection port. No software settings are required,
no complicated installation procedures, and there will be no incompatible
problems. Because the device can directly obtain the input data of the
keyboard, it can operate on a variety of operating platforms (compatible with
PC, Mac, Sun, etc.).
Since it is allowed to manage the computer connected to it from a single
console, the installation of a set of KVMs (1) can eliminate the expense of
purchasing individual keyboard, monitor and mouse for each computer; (2) saves
space occupied by the extra devices; (3) saves energy costs; (4) avoids the
inconvenience and waste of moving back and forth between computers; (5)
rapidly upgrades to the remote network control mode of the IP control mode.

also illuminate.
2| Embedded LED indicators| Each button has two LED indicators embedded inside
it. Users can judge the current working condition and usage of the device
according to the LED indicators embedded inside the button.
- Corresponding to the [ON] position is a red LED, indicating the online indicator, which means that the port is connected to a server computer device being used. If the [ON] LED indicator is not on, it means that no computer is connected to the corresponding port of the serial number or the connected computer is already closed.
- Corresponding to the [Select] position is a green LED, indicating the selection port indicator, which means that the server computer of the currently selected serial number can be operated. If the [Select] LED indicator is not on, it means that the server computer of the serial number port is not selected, and it is not the computer currently operated.
3| Device reset button| It is in the small round hole above the text marked [RESET].

port, you must reset the OSD menu to display the latest connection port
information and OSD menu settings. Please refer to the functions and usage
descriptions in the relevant chapter of the OSD menu for more information.
Note : If the operating system of your computer does not support hot pluggable function, it may not work properly.
Hot pluggable console connection port
This product also provides the hot pluggable function for the keyboard, mouse
and monitor of the console.
This product provides keyboard and mouse interfaces of two interface types.
Users can select the corresponding device connection type according to the
usage and carry out corresponding control operations.
Note : If you connect USB keyboard and mouse device at the same time, please do not use two types of devices at the same time. Otherwise, it may cause abnormal response of the keyboard and mouse of the server computer device.
Connection port selection
When the KVM switch is in use, you can quickly switch to any computer connected to the KVM in three ways: manual button selection, OSD menu screen selection, and hot key selection.
Manual switch selection
Please use the buttons on the front operation panel to make a port selection.
OSD menu screen selection

administrator’s password verification. The factory default administrator
password is: admin.
You can also modify and change it as needed.
OSD hot key
By default, you can type the [CTRL] key twice to make the OSD menu appear on the screen of the server monitor, and you can see the relevant connection information and status information of the server computer connected to the KVM switch.
Note : You can change the keyboard hot keys of OSD menu startup as needed. This product provides 4 sets of optional OSD menu hot key combinations, which you can select as needed (please refer to the detailed description of OSD menu setting functions).
OSD main menu
When you start the OSD, a screen similar to the one below will appear:
- [F1] [F2] [F3] [F4] [F5] [F6] at the bottom of the screen is the function setting of the OSD menu. And the corresponding function operation and setting are performed through the corresponding buttons on the keyboard.
- After entering the OSD main screen, the port number in the middle of the screen where the light bar stops is the port number of the current selected server computer. You can use the [↑] [↓] on the keyboard to select the port. After confirmed, please press [Enter] to select the switch port.
- If you want to exit the OSD menu interface, you can use [Esc] on the keyboard to perform the exit operation.
- To move a row in the list up and down, use the [↑] [↓] arrow keys. If the number of rows in the list is greater than the number of rows that can be displayed on the screen, the screen will scroll.
