Introduction
- Thank you for purchasing the 2-port Local Console Controller LCC-USB-DVI.
- With our highly reliable and quality product, users can enjoy countless benefits from using it.
- LCC-USB-DVI is a 2-port Local Console Controller with 10 User-preset OSD Image Banks.
- Users can upload a maximum of 10 user-configurable On-Screen Display (OSD) images either remotely over the network from virtual media or locally from a USB flash drive, using any of its two USB (UPGRADE) ports at console 2.
- The priority of the console 2 (C2) port is defined as higher than that of the console 1 (C1) port. The unit is operable under two modes (C2 Active-only Mode and C1/C2 SharingMode).
- In C2 Active-only Mode, the C1 K/M access is blocked. C2 users can select a preferred OSD image from the OSD image banks to be displayed on the C1 monitor.
- In C1/C2 Sharing Mode, both C1 and C2 can access the connected PC, which is also the default operation mode.
- LCC-USB-DVI further provides an emergent maintenance operation activated at local-site Console 1.
- It can be activated by pressing the front panel SELECT button or pressing the external Access Control Button connected to the unit’s IOIO connector.
- Under this operation, C2 K/M access will be blocked temporarily.
- The C1 user can again press the SELECT button or Access Control Button to terminate this emergent operation and return to its previous operation mode.

Installation
- Power on your LCC-USB-DVI by connecting the power adapter to (i).
- Connect (j), and (k) to a computer using USB and DVI cables. When using an Access Control Button, connect its two wires to the [NO] position of the terminal block connector on the rear panel as shown in the connection diagram.
- In the Console 1 (to Local-site) section on the front panel, respectively connect a set of a monitor, a keyboard and a mouse to (d) and (e).
- In the Console 2 (to Remote-site) section on the front panel, repeat a similar process as above to connect (f) and (g) to another set of monitor/keyboard/mouse.
Note: Step 4 can also be substituted with the following procedure if console 2 is to be operated over LAN/Internet: Connect a video input and a USB input of a CAT.5 KVM Extender to (f) and (g) respectively. Next, connect the RJ-45 port of the CAT.5 KVM Extender to a CAT. 5 IP KVM.
- At last, power on the computer linked to (j) and (k). the monitor at the Console 1 will prompt a plug-and-play message as below. The connected KVM peripherals are ready to use. Input the Operation Mode Selection hotkey <ScrLk>, <ScrLk>,<M>, <0/1> to select a preferred operation mode.
- Now you can enjoy using the LCC-USB-DVI unit.
Operations
- You may operate this Local Console Controller as below.
Front-Panel SELECT Button Operation
- The front-panel SELECT button allows you to toggle 3 seconds to off/on the Console 2 K/M access both in two operation modes (Mode 0: C2 Active-only Mode / Mode 1: C1/C2 Sharing Mode).
- The “C1/C2 Sharing Mode” is the factory default mode. See more details in [7. Quick Reference Sheet] section on the next page for the SELECT button operation.
Keyboard Hotkeys Operation
- You may use various keyboard hotkeys to operate the LCC-USB-DVI unit.
- Each keyboard hotkey includes at least three (some include four) consecutive keystrokes.
- The leading two keystrokes are the hotkey preceding sequence.
- Note that a hotkey preceding sequence should be pressed within 2 seconds.
- Otherwise, the input hotkey preceding sequence will be taken as an invalid one. See more details in [7. Quick Reference Sheet] section on the next page for available keyboard hotkeys.
Operation Mode Introduction
[Mode 0]: C2 Active-only Mode | <ScrLk>, <ScrLk>, <M>, <0> When entering this mode, the Console 2 user can overlay a preferred OSD image on the Console 1 monitor from the unit’s 10 builtin OSD image banks. According to the applications, the selected OSD image can be further configured as “Not Displayed”, “Displayed”, or “Blinking”. Note that during this mode, the PC access of the Console 1 will be permanently disabled. On the monitors of both consoles, their upper left corners will display a Text Prompt to indicate the status of the Console 1 OSD display, such as C1-OSD (OFF), C1-OSD (ON), or C1OSD (Blink). [Mode 1]: C1/C2 Sharing Mode | <ScrLk>, <ScrLk>, <M>, <1>
When entering this mode, both the Console 1 and Console 2 users are allowed to access the connected PC. A configurable Token Delay Time setting defines the time delay between Console 2 stopping the operation of its keyboard/mouse and allowing Console 1 to operate its keyboard/mouse. Note that even though the Token Delay Time is provided for Consoles 1 and 2, Console 2 still has a higher K/M access priority than Console 1. That is, the Console 2 user can begin using his keyboard/mouse at any time, even if the Token Delay Time hasn’t yet elapsed its set time.
Emergent Maintenance by C1 either in Mode 0 or Mode 1:
When the operation is either in Mode 0 or Mode 1, the Console
- user at the local site can emergently press the external Access Control Button connected to the IOIO connector of the LCC-USB-DVI unit, to temporarily disable Console 2’s PC access. After the emergent condition is cleared, the Console 1 user can again press the Access Control Button, going back to its previous Console 1/2 Sharing Mode or Console 2 Active-only Mode.

Set a delay time from the last active time of the Console 2 to the current active time of the Console 1. It ranges from 0 to 9 seconds. To enable both Consoles to work actively at the same time, set the delay time to 0 seconds.
* Even in C1/C2 Sharing Mode, C2 has been designed with higher K/M access priority than C1. Therefore, when this delay time hasn’t elapsed, the Console 2 user can still get back the K/M access at any time. |

Button to enter/cancel this temporary operation |
Either in Mode 0 or Mode 1, pressing & releasing the SELECT button allows the C1 user to perform emergent PC maintenance at the local (PC) site, which disables Console 2’s K/M access temporarily.
This operation acts the same as pressing on the external Access Control Button connected to the IOIO connector of the unit. As this operation is activated, a Text Prompt “C1 Maintaining” will be displayed both at the upper-left corners of the C1 and C2 monitors. |
| Resume the unit to factory default settings |
— |
Press & hold on the SELECT Button for 10 seconds. | Press and hold on the SELECT button for 10 seconds, then release it after hearing 2 beeps.

- Some old display drivers may not support those listed resolutions.
Technical Tips
- Since the LCC-USB-DVI acquires EDID information to apply to both C1 and C2 video connectors from the C1 video connector, users need to ensure that the maximum display resolution of the monitor on the C2 side is higher than that of the monitor on the C1 side. Otherwise, the monitor on the C2 side might display incorrectly.
- The Sharing Mode Token Delay Time TD between the time the Console 2 keyboard/ mouse stops operation and the time the Console 1 keyboard/mouse starts operation. The operational relationship between both consoles is illustrated below:
- The status of LED Indicators CONSOLE 1/CONSOLE 2 and the C1/C2 Monitor Display in C2 Active-only Mode and C1/C2 Sharing Mode are illustrated as follows:
- To update the content of the 10 built-in OSD Image Banks, please prepare a FAT32/ exFAT-formatted USB flash drive (*NTFS format is not supported). Next, copy the prepared files to its root directory with the following naming convention, such as image1. bmp, image2.bmp, …, and image10.bmp. Insert this flash drive into any of the two USB (UPGRADE) ports at console 2 of the LCC-USB-DVI unit. The OSD Image Uploading Procedure will start automatically. A typical time to complete 10 image file uploading should be within 3 minutes. Following is the factory default OSD image used in the C2 Acitve-only Mode when the unit is powered on for the first time:
