Tripp Lite B004-DUA2-K-R Switch User Manual


 
Take the companion CD-ROM and the KVM Switch out of the box and follow the steps
below for installation.
Step 1. Insert the companion CD-ROM into
your CD drive, and the Auto-run screen
will pop up (If the Auto-run feature has not
been enabled on your computer, just fi nd the
Autorun.exe on the CD-ROM and double-
click it to start).
Step 2. Just click the “Software Installation
for Window/Mac” to start installation. (If
the Mac version software does not start,
you should then copy it to your local hard
drive on the Mac). Follow the instructions to
completion. If the installation is complete,
you will see a KVM Switcher icon on the
system tray of your desktop. Right-click to evoke the operation menu and double-click to
evoke the confi guration box. For operation details of the KVM Switcher software, please
refer to the KVM Switcher Operation Reference.
• The Windows switching software is recommended
for use on Windows 98 SE or later. The Mac
switching software is recommended for use on
Mac OS 10.4. [Tiger].
• The KVM Switcher Software supports both
Windows and Mac OS operating systems. For
other OS platforms such as Linux, you can still
use the keyboard hot key - ScrLk + ScrLK - to
switch PCs. However, this switching hot key is not
available on non-PC platforms such as Mac OS.
Step 3. Connect the shared USB keyboard, mouse, monitor, speaker/headphone and
microphone each to its port on your KVM Switch. Connect the cord from the AC adapter to
the AC 5V jack and plug it into a wall outlet.
Step 4. Connect each KVM PC port to a computer using the slim 3-in-1 KVM combo cable
with audio/mic cables. If necessary, connect each computer’s USB keyboard/mouse to the
KVM Switch using the USB cables. After you have connected the KVM and computers
properly, you can operate the KVM Switch immediately.
• If you need to connect a computer with an analog video display to the KVM Switch, you need to use a
Tripp Lite P126-000 DVI (Female) to HD15 (Male) adapter for proper connection.
• Some older computers with USB interface might
need to manually enable the USB option in the
BIOS settings before you can use any USB devices.
If your USB interface does not work, please check
the USB option in the BIOS.
• If you use Windows 95/98/SE or Mac OS and have
not yet installed a USB mouse on your computer,
there might be an error message telling you that
the mouse is not detected and prompting you
to decide whether to ignore the same message
in the future, and yet you will fi nd there is no
mouse movement to disable this message. So it is
suggested that you should install your USB mouse
on your computer fi rst, before connecting it to this
KVM Switch.

Introduction
The B004-DUA2-K-R is a 2-port Compact DVI USB KVM Switch with audio and
microphone switching function. It allows you to access, control, boot and reboot 2 DVI-
enabled USB multimedia computers. The independent audio/mic switching function allows
an uninterrupted audio experience on a same connected computer, even when you switch to
another computer.
This KVM Switch adopts the DVI technology for digital video signal transmission over
the cable to reduce undesired distortion from conventional analog/digital conversion. Both
digital video (1920 x 1200) and analog video (2048 x 1536) are supported.
For Windows
®
and Macintosh
®
platforms, it provides an innovative and easy-to-use KVM
Switcher Software—a small windows client application to facilitate your KVM switching
operations such as PC selection and hot key sequence programming, auto-scanning, auto-
scan delay time programming, independent/simultaneous audio & PC switching and more.
Installation
Sharing High-Speed USB Devices
The two USB ports on the front-panel are
normally used for keyboard and mouse
connections. However, they are USB 2.0 hub
ports and can also be connected to any USB
devices so that you can easily switch and share
the USB devices between two computers.

Face-Panel Buttons
The face-panel button allows you a direct control over KVM switching operation. Simply
press the button to switch to the corresponding PC port (and audio/mic channel, if binding is
enabled).* By default, PC port switching and audio/mic port switching are bound together,
unless you specify the audio to be fi xed a specifi c port.
* You can use the face-panel button to switch to an empty port that is not connected with any computer.
Normally, if you use keyboard hot keys or the KVM Switcher software, you will not be able to switch to an
empty port.
