Chapter 1: Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the Two-Console PS/2 KVM switch. The Two-Console PS/2 KVM  
switch can save your MONEY, TIME, SPACE, EQUIPMENT and POWER.  
The Two-Console switch controls multiple computers from one Keyboard, Mouse and VGA  
Monitor with complete keyboard and mouse emulation for simultaneous computer boot-up. It  
has various features such as one local console port and one remote console up to 500-feet  
away using a CAT5 console port. Other features include 19” Rack Mount Size, Daisy Chain up  
to 8 units, On Screen Display Menu, Password security, searching computer server name, Hot  
key Control, Push Button and Auto Scan Control.  
The CAT5 console port extends COMPUTER/SERVER up to 500 feet away from your control-  
ling keyboard, mouse and VGA monitor. A transmitter is built into the KVM switch. It synthe-  
sizes the PS/2 keyboard signal, PS/2 mouse signal and VGA monitor signal, and allows trans-  
mission over long distances using standard Ethernet CAT5 cable. The Cat5 Remote Console  
Receiver decodes the synthetic signal and returns it back to PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse and  
VGA monitor signals. In addition, the Cat5 Remote Console Receiver does not require a dedi-  
cated computer since it has an extra computer port which is built-in the receiver.  
The Cat5 Remote Console Receiver is a good solution for those noisy server room environ-  
ments where it is unsuitable for people to work in for sustained periods of time. It facilitates  
effective management on dispersed computers through one dedicated central room, control  
room, demonstration room, meeting room, or at your desk. CAT5 STP cable (Shielded Twisted  
Pair)/ UTP cable (Unshielded Twisted Pair) or enhanced cable like CAT5E/CAT6 cable is widely  
available because of LAN network popularity. In addition, KVM-CAT5 transmitter uses the same  
existing network construction to transfer the local console signal to remote side.  
The Cat5 Remote Console Receiver allows you to move your console, i.e. Keyboard, Mouse  
and VGA monitor, to a suitable place for convenient centralized control. You just need to install a  
CAT5 remote console receiver at the remote side you would like to locate to. It saves on your  
cable layout and cable installation cost.  
The two-console KVM switch is also daisy chained with the single console KVM switch. It is  
highly recommended to place the two-console KVM switch at master bank and the single KVM  
switch at slave banks.

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation  
Before installation, please make sure all the peripherals and computers have been turned off.  
The installation below is based on 8 port-Rack Mount KVM Switch. Please follow the same  
installation procedure for the 16 port Rack Mount KVM Switch.  
Step 1  
Find a convenient place to put your KVM Switch. Its 19” rack mount form factor makes it ideal to  
be mounted on a 19” rack. When mounting to a rack, attach the included brackets to the sides  
of the KVM Switch. Take note of the length of your cables so that your computers, KVM Switch,  
keyboard, mouse and monitor are distanced properly.  
Step 2 (Local Console)  
Connect the monitor to the KVM Switch. Connect the attached cable, or the one included with  
your monitor, to the HDDB-15 female port on the back of the KVM unit marked with the monitor  
symbol at the CONSOLE connector.

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation  
Step 3  
Connect the keyboard to the KVM Switch. If you have an AT type keyboard, you will need an AT  
to PS/2 adapter.  
Step 4  
Connect the mouse to the KVM Switch.  
Step 4-1 (Remote Console)  
Extending your computer console up to 500 feet away:  
(1) Make sure the CAT5 cable used is a straight through type. (see page 5)  
(2) Plug one end of the CAT5 cable into the RJ-45 connector of the PS/2 KVM switch and the  
other end into KVM CAT5 receiver RJ-45 port.  
(3) Connect remote keyboard, mouse and monitor with PS/2-EXTENDER-RECEIVER “KB“,  
“MS“ and “Monitor” interface.  
(4) Connect CAT5 receiver computer port with computer console port by using 3 to 3 KVM  
cable.

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation  
NOTE:  
1. Local console and Remote console of KVM Switch will have the same priority to control  
computer, just like a computer connected to two consoles. The remote console can con-  
trol both the local computer and remote computer connected to KVM switch; however, the  
local console can only control the computers on local side. There will be a conflict, if the  
local console and remote console access the computer simultaneously. Please don’t use  
local console and remote console at the same time.  
2. When the video signal is foggy or un-clear on the screen, please check if VGA connector  
is connected properly, or the VGA resolution is too high for the length of cable being used.  
If the problem happened at VGA resolution, please shorten the CAT5 cable length or  
reduce VGA resolution. It is recommended to use “optimal CAT5 cable length” to get the  
best video quality and don’t add unnecessary CAT5 cable length. High VGA resolution is  
up to 1280X1024 and CAT5 cable length could be up to 500 feet.  
3. There is a Dip Switch on the rear of the KVM switch. The factory default value is “OFF/  
OFF” state. When you use CAT5 cable length over 300 feet, please set DIP Switch to  
“ON/ON” state. The other settings like “ON/OFF” or “OFF/ON” state is reserved for future  
applications.  
Step 5  
Computer port connectors of the KVM switch are HDDB-15 pin type. Plug the end of the cable  
which is HDDB-15 pin male connector to the selected computer port on the rear of KVM switch  
unit. The other end of the cable which has three connectors: a HDDB-15 pin male type for com-  
puters video, a Mini Din 6 pin female type for keyboard and a Mini Din 6 pin female type for  
mouse, will be attached to keyboard, mouse and monitor ports of the respective computer.  
Repeat the same procedure for all computers.  
Step 6 (Optional)  
If your computer has an AT type keyboard port (Din 5 pin), you will need a PS/2 to AT keyboard  
adapter.

Chapter 2: Hardware Installation  
Step 7  
Check all of the connections carefully. The keyboard and mouse connectors are color coded to  
help in connecting the keyboard and mouse cables to the correct ports.  
Step 8  
Attach the power supply to the KVM unit and plug the other end into an electrical receptacle.  
Now you will see the LED for Port 1 light up, and you will hear a beep. Switch on your monitor.  
NOTE:  
Though the computers connected to KVM Switch are able to support enough power to the  
stand alone switch, it is suggested that the power adapter be plugged in. The KVM Switch  
will need a power adapter to daisy chain more banks and if you forget to plug in the power  
adapter on the status of daisy chain, it may cause unexpected operation.

Chapter 4:Troubleshooting  
1. Make sure that all cables are well connected. Label all of cables with the number for each computer  
respectively to avoid confusion.  
2. To avoid ghosting and degradation, the recommended VGA cable distance is 5 meters (16.4 feet)  
maximum. Normally, the cable length is based on driver capacity of your VGA card. If you need a  
longer VGA cable, please use a VGA extender to accomplish your application.  
3. The recommended PS/2 cable distance is 5 meters (16.4 feet) maximum. Normally, the cable length  
is based on driver capacity of your motherboard PS/2 port. If you need longer PS/2 cable, please  
use PS/2 extender to accomplish your applications.  
4. Don’t press any keys on the keyboard while the selected computer is booting up. Otherwise, it might  
cause the keyboard error or keyboard is not detected at computer side.  
5. The computer boot up is fine, but keyboard doesn’t work  
• Make sure the keyboard works when it is directly plugged into the computer.  
Try a different keyboard, but use only 101, 102 or 104-key keyboard.  
6. The Mouse is not detected during computer boot up.  
• Make sure the mouse works when directly plugged into the computer.  
• Make sure the mouse is a true PS/2 mouse. A combo mouse will work just as long as it is set for  
PS/2 mode with the correct adapter. Try a different mouse.  
• Avoiding moving the mouse or pressing the mouse buttons when switching ports.  
• Avoiding switching ports during shutting down the computer process.  
• When you switch one computer port to another, please set the scan time for 5 sec at least.  
Normally, it takes one or tow seconds for the VGA monitor to change from one resolution mode  
to another. So, the scan time is not recommended to be less than 5 seconds.  
7. The power switch is off, but the switch still works fine or power adapter is unplugged from the  
switch, but the switch still works fine. KVM Switch unit draws the power source from power adapter  
and all computer’s PS/2 port. Some computer’s PS/2 port can support enough power for the switch,  
but some computer’s PS/2 port ( like laptop, notebook computer…etc.) is unable to supply enough  
power for the switch. In order to make sure the system can work steadily, please do not set power  
switch as off state or remove the power adapter from the switch. Although the computers connected  
to KVM Switch unit are able to support enough power to the stand alone switch, KVM Switch unit  
still needs a power adapter for daisy chain more banks.  
8. If you forget the “ password ” you typed, please contact your supplier.  
9. CAT5 Console Receiver power LED is not ON, to make sure power adapter is connected to KVM  
CAT5 receiver.  
10. No video signal is displayed on the remote monitor.  
a. It might happen because VGA cables & connecter and CAT5 cable & connector is loosed or  
disconnected or VGA cable was not attached to computer during boot up process.  
b. Or power adapter is not connected to receiver.  
11. When video signal is foggy or un-clear on the screen, please check if VGA connector is connected  
properly, or if the VGA resolution is too high for the length of cable being used. If the problem hap-  
pened at VGA resolution, please shorten the CAT5 cable length or reduce VGA resolution. It is high-  
ly recommended to use optimal CAT5 cable length to get the best video quality and avoid adding  
unnecessary CAT5 cable length. VGA resolution is up to 1280X1024 and CAT5 cable length could  
be up to 500 feet approximately.
