Model # AKVM-2A
Section 1
The AKVM-2A switch is a 2-port PS/2 type KVM switch
with audio support that comes with two sets of built-in
1.5M cables. It enables users to access, control, boot,
and reboot two computers using only one keyboard, video
monitor, mouse, microphone, and speakers. Its one-
piece design offers more portability and convenience to
users than conventional KVM switches.
Introduction
Section 2
Before connecting any cable, please make sure all of your
computers and their peripherals have been powered off.
Otherwise, the KVM switch may not be set up properly.
Installation
Step 1 Make sure all the computers that are to be
connected to the KVM switch and their peripherals
are powered-off. If not, power them off before you
proceed with the following steps.
Step 2 Connect the shared keyboard, monitor,
mouse, microphone, and speakers to the main KVM
unit. See Fig. 1.1
Fig 1.1
Step 3 Connect each set of the built-in KVM cables
to a computer’s keyboard, video, mouse, micro-
phone, and speaker ports. You can use individual
standard keyboard, mouse, video, and audio cables
to extend the cable distance, but depending on the
type of cables you use, the maximum cable dis-
tance is limited to 5 ~ 7 meters (15.5 ~ 23 feet).
Step 4 Power up the connected computers one by
one. After the computers are powered up, the
keyboard and mouse will be recognized and you can
begin operating the KVM switch.

tween the computers. Simply press the button on the
