Installation

Hardware Installation

1. Connect a VGA display device to the VGA connector (output) on the

front panel of the KVM switch.

2. Connect a USB keyboard and a USB mouse into the dedicated USB

keyboard and mouse ports on the KVM switch. If using audio, also

connect speakers/headphones with 3.5mm mini-jack plugs.

3. Using the included KVM cables, connect the black-colored VGA

connector into the PC1 and PC2 connectors. If using audio, also

connect the 3.5mm mini-jack plug into the respective audio connector.

4. Connect the opposite end of the KVM cable into the appropriate

connectors on the computer systems.

5. Power on the computer connected to PC1 ﬁrst and wait for it to fully

boot.

6. Switch to PC2 and then power on that computer.

7. Both computers should now be functional and you should be able to

switch between them freely.

Software Installation

1. When connected to a Windows-based PC, this KVM switch will create

additional removable drives that are accessible via “My Computer”. In

the “KMDS” drive, run the setup.exe ﬁle.

2. Once the Installation Wizard starts, follow the prompts to complete

installation.

3. An icon should be visible in the System Tray (near system clock) to

access the software options.

How to Use

Hotkey Switching

A Hotkey command is a short keyboard sequence for selecting a computer

connected to the KVM switch. A hotkey sequence consists of two

keystrokes (successively within 0.2 seconds). A built-in tone generator

creates a high-pitched beep for a correct hotkey command.

To switch from the currently selected computer to the next computer,

including audio:

[Scroll Lk] + [Scroll Lk]

To switch from the currently selected computer to the next computer, but

not switch the audio:

[Caps Lk] + [Caps Lk]

KMDS Software

The KMDS icon in the System Tray is used to access various additional

features by right-clicking the icon.

Switch KVM

Switch computer control, video and audio to the next computer.

Switch Audio

Switch only audio to the next computer, while control and video remain

on the current computer.

KVM PIP

Activate the Picture-In-Picture window to view a scaled-down video feed

of the next computer system. The primary purpose is for performing a

ﬁle transfer to the next computer system by dragging and dropping ﬁles

into the PIP window.

Software Notes

• File transfers and text copy/paste operations through the KMDS

software, should only be performed if both computer operating systems

are set to the same language version.

• File transfers are only supported to the Windows Desktop. Identical

ﬁle names on the desktop will be automatically overwritten without

notiﬁcation. Caution is recommended when transferring ﬁles.

• Picture in Picture mode (PIP) is not suitable for watching multimedia

ﬁles.

• Do not change the computer screen resolution while PIP mode is active.

• Do not unplug the KVM cables or attempt port switching while a ﬁle

transfer is in progress. Exit the KMDS software before disconnecting the

KVM from a running computer system.

• While using the KMDS software, it is recommended that users have full

Administrator access.

• If any errors are encountered during use of the KMDS software, exit the

software and reconnect the USB and VGA connectors and restart the

KMDS software.

Troubleshooting

Problem: Unable to set proper video resolution for the connected display.

Solutions:

• This KVM switch will store the EDID information from the last

connected display, so if replaced with a non-EDID compliant display,

the connected computers will still receive the EDID from the previous

display. This may prevent you from selecting the proper video

resolution for the new display. An EDID compliant display needs to be

connected to the KVM switch to override the stored EDID information.

• Check the VGA cable connection between the KVM switch and the

VGA display and/or replace cable (with shorter cable, if applicable).

Problem: Any of the following symptoms are found:

• Switching is slow or unresponsive

• Mouse or keyboard is slow or unresponsive

• File transfers are slow or unresponsive

• Picture in Picture window only shows grey box

Solutions: The KVM switch needs to be reset.

Method 1:

1. Switch to PC1 and close/exit the KMDS software.

2. Switch to PC2 and close/exit the KMDS software.

3. Disconnect all of the cables from the KVM switch to PC2.

4. Disconnect all of the cables from the KVM switch to PC1.

5. Wait for 20 seconds.

6. Reconnect all of the cables from the KVM switch to PC1, then PC2.

7. Switch to PC1, if not already, and restart the KMDS software.

8. Switch to PC2 and restart the KMDS software.

Method 2:

1. Shut down PC2.

2. Shut down PC1.

3. Disconnect all of the cables from the KVM switch to PC2.

4. Disconnect all of the cables from the KVM switch to PC1.

5. Wait for 20 seconds.

6. Reconnect all of the cables from the KVM switch to PC1, then PC2.

7. Power on PC1 and wait for it to fully boot.

8. Power on PC2 and wait for it to fully boot.

9. Restart the KMDS software on both computers, if not already running.
