Product Usage Instructions
EDID LEARN
The KVM is designed to learn a connected monitor’s EDID upon power up. In the event of connecting a new monitor to the KVM, a power re-cycle is required.
SYSTEM CONTROL
There are three ways to control the SM-DVN: Keyboard HotKeys, RS-232 Serial Commands, and Front Panel Buttons. The settings for the serial connection are as follows: Baud rate: 115200; Data Bits: 8; Parity: None; Stop Bits: 1; Flow Control: None.
The following commands can be used:
| Command | HotKey |
|---|---|
| Switch KVM [CT][CT][#] | RS-232 //m[#] |
| Audio Only [CT][CT]a[#] | //a[#] |
| KM Only [CT][CT]c[#] | //c[#] |
