B Installation

Standard Rack Mount

1. While one person positions the switch in the rack and holds it in place, the second person loosely screws the front brackets to the rack.
2. While the first person still holds the switch in place, the second person slides the L brackets into the switch's side mounting brackets, from the rear until the bracket flanges contact the rack, then screws the L brackets to the rack.
3. After the L brackets have been secured, tighten the front bracket screws.

Single Stage Installation

1. Use a KVM cable set to connect any available KVM Port to the computer's keyboard, video and mouse ports.
2. Plug the power cord into the KVM switch power socket and into an AC power source.

C Operation

The CL5708 / CL5716 provides three port selection methods to access the computers on the installation: keyboard, an OSD (on-screen display) menu system, and hotkeys.

Keyboard Selection Buttons

Use the UP and DOWN Port ID / Station ID selection buttons located on the keyboard module to switch KVM focus to any port on the installation. Continually pressing any button cycles through the list of available ports/stations.

OSD

The OSD incorporates a two-level (administrator / user) password system. Before the OSD main screen displays, a login screen appears requiring a password. If this is the first time that the OSD is used, or if the password function has not been set, simply press [Enter] [Enter]. The OSD main screen displays in administrator mode.

Note: Optionally change the OSD hotkey to the [Ctrl] key, in which case you would press [Ctrl] twice. With this method, you must press the same [Ctrl] key.

To bring the KVM focus to a port, double-click it, or move the Highlight Bar to it then press [Enter].

Hotkeys

All hotkey operations begin by invoking Hotkey mode. There are two possible keystroke sequences used to invoke Hotkey mode, though only one can be operational at any given time.

• Number Lock and Minus Keys (Default Hotkey)
  1. Hold down the Num Lock key.
  2. Press and release the minus key.
  3. Release the Num Lock key: [Num Lock] + [-]
• Control and F12 Keys
  1. Hold down the Ctrl key.
  2. Press and release the F12 key.
  3. Release the Ctrl key: [Ctrl] + [F12]
