Specifications

Installation Procedures

Operation

  1. Begin by establishing connections between the Host Computers and the SolidKVM SK05 Switch. Utilize USB cables to connect the Host Computers to the KVM Switch USB-B ports. Subsequently, interlink the MIC and stereo ports of the Host Computers with the corresponding ports located above the “DisplayPort In” of the KVM Switch using 3.5mm audio cables. Conclude this step by connecting the Host Computers to the “DisplayPort In” ports of the KVM Switch using DisplayPort cables.
  2. Proceed to connect peripheral devices. Attach the keyboard and mouse to the USB-A ports located on the KVM Switch back panel. Next, connect microphones and amplifiers to either the MIC and stereo ports on the front panel or above the “DisplayPort Out” of the KVM Switch using 3.5mm audio cables. For display connectivity, opt to link a display to the “DisplayPort Out” of the KVM Switch utilizing a DisplayPort cable with a maximum length of 2 meters. Alternatively, connect a display to the KVM Switch “HDMI Out” via an HDMI cable. Note: Video output will automatically switch to the connected port. In the event that both “DisplayPort Out” and “HDMI Out” are connected, video output will prioritize DisplayPort.
  3. Power on the KVM Switch by supplying it with DC 5V and pressing the power button. Upon activation, the “Power” indicator will light up, confirming that power is operational. Ensure that the USB-B ports are connected properly, and the “Online” indicators will light up. The “Select” indicator will light up to denote the currently selected Host Computers.
  4. Utilize the buttons located on the Switch front panel to select the input source. Upon selection, the corresponding “Select” indicator will light up, and the display will showcase the corresponding image. Subsequently, the selected Host Computers can be controlled using a keyboard and mouse.
  5. The remote control functionality mirrors the manual buttons, facilitating input selection and control with equal efficiency and precision.
  6. For external function, connect printer/scanner/U-disk to the USB-A ports on the Switch front panel.

Installation Procedures

Special Function Operation

  1. Mouse Traversal Function:
    Place the mouse on the far right side of the display and continue to slide to the right for 2 seconds, the Switch automatically switches to the next port. Switching order is: PC1→PC2→PC1→…;

  2. USB-B detection switching function:

  3. When the KVM Switch detects that a PC is connected to the USB-B port of the Switch, it immediately switches to this PC and the corresponding “Online” and “Select” indicators light up. For instance, if PC1 is already connected and PC2 is subsequently connected to the KVM Switch via the USB-B port, it swiftly switches to PC2.

  4. When the current selected PC is powered off or the USB cable is dialed out, the KVM Switch automatically switches to the next PC with the power on and the USB port connected.

  5. Hotkey function (It doesn’t work on functional keyboard and only the 2 USB-A ports on the back panel can get access to this function.)
