Product Usage Instructions
EDID Learn:
The KVM is designed to learn a connected monitor’s EDID upon power up. In the event of connecting a new monitor to the KVM, a power re-cycle is required.
System Control:
There are three ways to control the SM-DVN: Keyboard HotKeys, RS-232 Serial Commands, and Front Panel Buttons. The settings for the serial connection are as follows: Baud rate: 115200; Data Bits: 8; Parity: None; Stop Bits: 1; Flow Control: None.
The following commands can be used:
- Switch KVM: [CT][CT][#] or RS-232 //m[#]
- Audio Only: [CT][CT]a[#] or //a[#]
- KM Only: [CT][CT]c[#] or //c[#]
- USB Only: [CT][CT]u[#] or //u[#]
- Learn EDID: [CT][CT]e or //e
- SW Reset: [CT][CT]r or //r
- Status Query: N/A or //??
- Current HK Trigger Update: [Alt][Alt][Alt] or //hk x 0
- HK Trigger 1, 2, 3: [HK][HK] x [1|2|3]
Hardware Installation
- Ensure that power is turned off or disconnected from the unit and the computers.
- Use DVI cables to connect the DVI output ports from each computer to the corresponding DVI-I IN ports of the unit.
- Use a USB cable (Type-A to Type-B) to connect a USB port on each computer to the respective USB ports of the unit.
- Optionally connect a stereo audio cable (3.5mm to 3.5mm) to connect the audio output of the computers to the AUDIO IN ports of the unit.
- Connect monitors to the DVI-I OUT console ports of the unit using DVI cables.
- Connect a USB keyboard and mouse in the two USB console ports.
- Optionally connect stereo speakers to the AUDIO OUT port of the unit.
- Finally, power on the KVM by connecting a 12VDC power supply to the power connector, and then turn on all the computers.
