Operating Instructions

Switching Between Computers

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

  1. Panel Button Switch: Press the "SW" button on the front panel of the KVM switch to toggle between PC1 and PC2. The LED indicators (PC1, PC2) will illuminate to show which computer is currently active.
  2. External Wired Controller: Press the button on the external wired controller to switch between PC1 and PC2. This allows for convenient switching if the KVM switch is not easily accessible.

Note: Keyboard hotkey switching is not supported by this device.

Display Modes (Extended & Copy)

The KVM switch supports both extended and copy display modes, provided your computer's graphics card supports multi-display output and each connected computer has two DisplayPort outputs.

  • Extended Mode: Allows you to extend your desktop across two monitors, displaying different content on each screen. This is ideal for multitasking and increasing workspace.
  • Copy Mode: Duplicates your desktop across both monitors, showing the same content on each screen. This is useful for presentations or sharing your view.

To configure display modes, adjust the display settings within your operating system (e.g., Windows Display Settings, macOS System Preferences).

Troubleshooting

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

  • No Display on Monitors:
    • Ensure the KVM switch is powered on and the 12V power adapter is securely connected.
    • Verify that all DisplayPort cables are securely connected between the computers, KVM switch, and monitors.
    • Check that your monitors are set to the correct DisplayPort input.
    • Confirm that your computers' graphics cards are properly configured and outputting a signal.
    • Try connecting one computer and one monitor directly to rule out cable or monitor issues.
  • USB Devices Not Working:
    • Ensure the USB 3.0 cables are connected from your computers to the "USB" input ports on the KVM switch.
    • Verify that the USB peripherals are securely plugged into the KVM switch's USB 3.0 ports.
    • Some high-power USB devices (e.g., certain external hard drives) may require additional power. Ensure the KVM's 12V power adapter is connected.
    • Try connecting the USB device directly to the computer to confirm it functions independently.
  • Resolution or Refresh Rate Issues:
    • Ensure your computers, monitors, and DisplayPort cables all support the desired resolution and refresh rate (e.g., 8K@60Hz or 4K@120Hz).
    • Update your graphics card drivers on both computers.
    • Adjust the display settings in your operating system to a lower resolution or refresh rate to see if the issue persists.
  • Switching Problems:
    • Ensure the external wired controller is securely plugged into the "Control" port.
    • Confirm that the KVM switch is receiving power.
    • Remember that keyboard hotkeys are not supported; use the panel button or wired controller.

If problems persist after trying these steps, please contact TJCXELE customer support for further assistance.
