5. Operating Instructions

Switching Between Computers

The KVM switch offers two convenient methods for switching between connected computers:

• Front Panel Button: Press the corresponding button (1 or 2) on the front panel of the KVM switch to switch to PC1 or PC2. The LED indicator will illuminate to show the currently active computer.
• Desktop Controller: Press the button on the wired desktop controller to cycle between PC1 and PC2. This allows for easy switching without reaching for the KVM unit itself.

Image: Illustration showing the two methods of switching: pressing the button directly on the KVM unit's front panel, or using the external wired desktop controller.

Display Modes

The KVM switch supports both extended and copy (mirror) display modes, depending on your computer's display settings:

• Extended Display Mode: Each monitor displays a different part of your desktop, expanding your workspace. This is the most common setup for productivity.
• Copy (Mirror) Display Mode: Both monitors display the exact same content. This can be useful for presentations or sharing your screen with another person.

You can configure these display modes through your operating system's display settings (e.g., Windows Display Settings, macOS System Preferences > Displays).

USB 3.0 Data Transfer

The KVM switch features four USB 3.0 ports on the front panel, offering data transfer speeds up to 5Gbps. This allows you to share high-speed USB devices such as external hard drives, webcams, and high-performance peripherals between your two computers.

7. Maintenance

To ensure the longevity and proper functioning of your KVM switch, follow these maintenance guidelines:

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the KVM switch. Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol sprays, as they may damage the device.
• Ventilation: Ensure the KVM switch is placed in a well-ventilated area to prevent overheating. Do not block any ventilation openings.
• Handling: Handle the device with care. Avoid dropping it or subjecting it to strong impacts.
• Environment: Keep the KVM switch away from excessive moisture, dust, and extreme temperatures.

8. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your KVM switch, refer to the following common problems and solutions:

• No Display or Flickering Screen:
  • Ensure all DisplayPort cables are securely connected to both the KVM switch, monitors, and computers.
  • Verify that your monitors and computer graphics cards support the selected resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 8K@60Hz). If not, try lowering the resolution.
  • Test with different DisplayPort cables if possible, as faulty cables can cause issues.
  • Ensure the KVM switch is properly powered.
• Keyboard/Mouse or USB Devices Not Working:
  • Ensure the USB 3.0 A-to-B cables are securely connected from the KVM switch to both computers.
  • Try connecting the USB device to a different USB OUT port on the KVM switch.
  • Ensure the KVM switch is powered on and the correct computer is selected.
  • Some high-power USB devices may require external power or a powered USB hub.
• Cannot Switch Between Computers:
  • Verify that the desktop controller is securely plugged into the KEY port.
  • Ensure the KVM switch is powered on.
  • If using the front panel buttons, ensure they are pressed firmly.
• Window Placement Issues (Windows 10):
  • Some operating systems, particularly Windows 10, may not consistently remember window positions after switching or waking from sleep. This is often an operating system behavior rather than a KVM fault.
  • Ensure your graphics drivers are up to date.
  • Consider using third-party window management software if this issue significantly impacts your workflow.
• No Hotkey Switching:
  • This KVM switch model does not support keyboard hotkey switching. Switching is performed via the front panel buttons or the wired desktop controller only.
