Connecting the Host Computer to the Unit
*SV1653DXI rear panel shown
Please note: It is strongly recommended that all systems supporting
USB use the USB server interface modules (see StarTech.com part #
SV5USBM). PS/2 modules (SV5PS2M) are available for legacy systems.
If present, disconnect the existing monitor and PS/2 or USB keyboard/ 1.
mouse from the host computer.
Connect the PS/2 keyboard and mouse or USB connector to the host 2.
computer.
Connect the VGA connector to the host computer. 3.
Connect the Server Interface Module (SV5PS2M or SV5USBM) to the 4.
KVM with a straight through CAT5 cable.
Power on the host computer. 5.
Disabling Mouse Acceleration on the Host Computer
Many operating systems offer a feature called mouse acceleration, al-
lowing the user to adjust the responsiveness of the cursor on the screen
in relation to physical movements of the mouse. While this is usually a
beneficial interface enhancement, it will interfere with the operation of the
SVxx53DXI and should be disabled on the host computer before a remote
session is attempted.
Please note: If the SV5USBM (USB version) is used with a modern Win-
dows O/S computer, there is no need to disable mouse acceleration. Only
PS/2 systems, or USB systems with Linux or UNIX operating systems
require this change. Ignore this section in that case.
