LDV-002EASK

Introduction

LDV-004EASK

The LDV-002EASK/LDV-004EASK DVI KVM Switch is a

2-/4-port PS/2 type DVI KVM Switch with Audio and

Microphone Switching. It provides DVI interfaces (with DVI-

D Single Link connectors) to offer genuine digital video quality for your Flat Panel Displays. Audio and Microphone switching function offers you uninterrupted multimedia experience while performing KVM Switching. It enables the computer administrator to access, control, boot and reboot multiple DVI-enabled computers using only one keyboard, video, mouse and a set of speakers and microphone. They are designed specifically for sharing DVI monitor / Flat

Panel Display between multiple PCs with DVI interfaces.

The DVI interface technology implements genuinely digital signal transmission over the cable to reduce undesired distortion from conventional analog/digital conversion.

Using the DVI KVM Switch with Enhanced Digital Video

Support, you can control multiple computers while enjoying digitally clean and clear images.

Before you install

The default setting of the LDV-002EASK/LDV-004EASK

DVI PS/2 KVM Switch is appropriate for most systems. In fact, you do not need to configure the KVM Switch before installation. It’s a Plug-and-Play device: First, connect the keyboard, monitor and mouse to the DVI KVM switch and then connect your computers to the KVM Switch, and finally boot them up in correct sequence and you can start to operate immediately!

For a quick start on installation and operation, please follow the instructions below.

The correct setup sequence is ……

(1) Connect at least one computer and one set of the keyboard, monitor and mouse to the KVM Switch

first.

(2) Make sure all the computers are in powered-off state..

and then connect all your computers to the KVM

Switch.

(3) Then connect the external power adapter (DC9V 1A) to your DVI KVM Switch.

(4) Power up your connected computers …

DO NOT TRY to connect the external power adapter before you connect either the keyboard, mouse, monitor or PC. Otherwise, the DVI KVM Switch might not be properly initialized.

Out-of-the-box Installation

Take the DVI KVM Switch out of the box and begin installation….

Before connecting any cable to your KVM Switch, please make sure all of your computers and their peripherals have been powered off. Otherwise, the Switch system might not be set up properly.

Step 1. Make sure all the computers to be connected to the

DVI KVM Switch and their peripherals are in powered-off state. If not, power them off before you proceed with the following steps.

Step 2. Connect the shared keyboard, DVI monitor/Flat

Panel Display, mouse, a speaker/headphone set and microphone to the console connectors on the rear of your DVI KVM switch.

Step 3. Connect each of your computers to a PC port on the rear of the switch. Depending on the cable you use, the maximum cable distance is limited to at least 5 meters (15.5 feet, with 1600 x 1200 resolution).

Step 4. Connect the external power adapter (DC9V 1A) to the KVM Switch.

With a resolution lower than 1600 x 1200, the cable distance can well exceed 5 meters without visible video quality degradation.

Note that since the DVI KVM Switch is powered through the

PS/2 interface, it is powered on immediately when connected to the PS/2 keyboard/mouse port of your PC (nonetheless even the

PC being in powered off state).

Applicable models: LDV-002EASK / LDV-004EASK

Step 5. (Now your KVM Switch should have been powered-

up….) Power up the connected computers. After your computers are powered up the keyboard and mouse will be recognized and now you can begin operating the KVM switch.

DO NOT TRY to perform any channel switching before the

Operating System on your PC has completely booted. Otherwise, the DVI interface will not be properly initialized.

DO NOT TRY to connect the KVM Switch to the computers while the computers are still in powered-on states. Otherwise, the computer will have difficulty recognizing your shared keyboard and mouse.

Easy Operation

There are two methods to control your KVM Switch for PC as well as audio/mic channel selection: using the front-

panel push buttons or a hotkey sequence.

Front-panel buttons

The front-panel button lets you have direct control over

KVM switch operation and channel switching. Simply press the button to rotate through to a specific channel.
