Installing the KVM Switcher Software
Please note: The Switcher Software provides an alternative way to operate KVM functions
in addition to the original hardware hotkeys. If you are satisfied with the
hardware hotkeys, software installation is not necessary.
Also note: The Windows switcher software is recommended for systems using Windows
98SE or later. The Mac switcher Software is recommended for use on Mac OS
10.4 (Tiger) and later.

Autorun screen. If the Autorun function has been disabled on the computer, simply
locate and execute the Autorun.exe file on the CD.
2. Click on “Software Installation for Windows” to begin installation. Follow the
instructions to completion. Once installation is finished, you will see a KVM Switcher
icon appear on the system tray of your desktop. Right-click on the icon to evoke the
operation menu, and double-click to evoke the configuration box.For Mac users, locate
the Mac switcher software (with a file extension of .pkg or .zip) and install
it on your Mac.
