Tripp Lite B022-002-KT-R Switch User Manual


 
Operation
Manual Port Selection:
With Manual Port Selection, simply press the appropriate
Port Selection button on the unit’s front panel to select
its corresponding port. The Port LED lights to indicate
that its port has been selected.
Hot Key Port Selection:
Hot key port selection allows you to directly access a
computer from the keyboard, instead of having to man-
ually switch to it with the Port Selection button.
1) Press and hold down the Num Lock key.
2) Press and release the Asterisk key or the Minus key.
3) Release the Num Lock key:
[Num Lock] + [*]; or: [Num Lock] + [-];
Note: The Asterisk or Minus key must be released
within one half second, otherwise Hot Key activation
is canceled, and it has no effect.
4) On the 2-port unit, the port will immediately switch.
On the 4-port unit, the Caps Lock and Scroll Lock
LEDs on the keyboard will flash in succession. They
stop flashing and revert to normal status when you
exit Hot Key Mode. Enter the number for the desired
port (1, 2, 3 or 4).
Auto Scan Mode:
The KVM Switch’s Auto Scan feature automatically
cycles through the ports at regular 5 seconds intervals
so that you can monitor the computer activity without
having to take the trouble of switching manually.

Installation
Refer to the diagrams as you do the following:
1. Plug the Console Adapter Cable into the Console
Port Connector on the rear panel of the KVM switch.
2. Plug your keyboard, monitor and mouse into their
respective connectors on the Console Adapter Cable.
The connectors are color coded and marked with an
appropriate icon for easy identification.
3. Use the Tripp Lite KVM cables (described in the
Cables section on p. 3), to connect the CPU Ports on
the KVM switch to the monitor, keyboard and mouse
ports of the computers you are installing.
4. While power is rarely needed, if you choose to use
external power, plug a power adapter into an AC power
source, then plug the power adapter cable into the unit’s
Power Jack.
Note: The power adapter should be DC9V with the
inside positive and the outside negative:
5. Turn on the power to the computers.
Note: The KVM’s default is to link to the first
computer you turn on.
