Note: The mouse connector is actually a USB 2.0 port, and can accept any USB compatible peripheral. You can even connect a hub to install multiple USB devices (This may require an extra power adapter).
  2. Plug your monitor into the HD port, located on the front of the CS692. Power on the monitor.
  3. Plug your speakers and microphone into the console audio ports, located on the front of the CS692 (Optional). Note: If your console monitor has built-in speakers and supports audio through its HD interface, separate speakers are not needed.
  4. Plug the USB, HD, and audio connectors of the KVM cables into their respective ports on the computers you are installing.
  5. Power on the computers. Note: By default the switch links to the first computer that is powered on.

Operation

The CS692 provides three convenient methods of selecting computers: Manual ­ click the pushbutton on the Remote Port Selector; Mouse ­ click the mouse’s scroll wheel; and Hotkey ­ enter combinations from the keyboard.

Manual Port Selection

Press the port selection pushbutton on the Remote Port Selector to toggle the KVM and Audio focus between the two computers. The Port LED lights to indicate that the computer attached to its corresponding port has the focus. Note: Do not switch ports while a USB device is in operation. For independent USB switching, please see the USB KVMP switches on our website.

Mouse Port Selection

Simply double-click the scroll wheel on your USB mouse to switch between ports. The mouse port-switching function allows you to toggle back and forth between the ports.
