Installation
KVM Switcher Software
1. For each computer that will be connected to the KVM switch, please insert the
companion CD ROM into your CD drive. The installation program USBKVMIn.exe should
run automatically, however if it does not, please locate the file on the disk and double-click
on the icon to launch the application:
This section details how to install the optional software, as well as how to make the
necessary physical connections between your peripherals and the KVM switch. For best
results, ensure that all of the computers to be controlled are located as close as possible
to the KVM switch and console peripherals (monitor, keyboard, mouse), as this will reduce
the length of cabling required and reduces the chance of interference.
