EDID LEARN

The KVM is designed to learn the EDID of the monitor connected to Console 1 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-84X: 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:

Optionally connect a stereo audio cable (3.5mm to 3.5mm) to connect the audio output of the computers to the AUDIO IN ports of the unit.
Connect monitors to the DVI-D OUT console ports of the unit using DVI cables.
Connect a USB keyboard and mouse in the two USB console ports.
Optionally connect stereo speakers to the AUDIO OUT port of the unit.
Finally, power on the Matrix by connecting a 12VDC power supply to the power connector, and then turn on all the computers.
