11. KVM Switch Operation
Point Perform the EDID settings first.
When a monitor is connected to a KVM Switch for the first time, the Plug and Play data (EDID
data) must be set. After performing the EDID data settings, the connected monitor can be

For details about EDID settings, refer to [11-1-4 Plug and Play Data (EDID Data)
Settings].
