Pokyny pro nastavení

Follow these steps to set up your MANHATTAN 4-Port KVM Switch:

1. Identify Ports

Familiarize yourself with the ports on the KVM switch. The front panel typically contains console ports for your keyboard, mouse, speakers, and microphone. The rear and side panels contain the PC connection ports (VGA, USB, Audio, Mic) for each computer.

2. Connect Console Devices

1. Connect your USB keyboard to one of the USB ports on the front panel of the KVM switch.
2. Connect your USB mouse to the other USB port on the front panel.
3. Connect your VGA monitor to the VGA output port on the KVM switch.
4. If using, connect your speakers to the green audio output jack and your microphone to the pink microphone input jack on the front panel.

3. Connect Computers

For each computer you wish to connect (up to four):

1. Ujistěte se, že je počítač vypnutý.
2. Use one of the provided KVM combo cables to connect the computer's VGA output to a corresponding VGA input port on the KVM switch (e.g., PC 1 VGA).
3. Connect the USB connector from the same KVM combo cable to an available USB port on the computer.
4. If using audio/microphone, connect the provided audio cable from the computer's audio output to the corresponding audio input on the KVM switch, and the microphone cable from the computer's microphone input to the corresponding microphone input on the KVM switch.
5. Repeat for all computers.

Poznámka: The KVM switch does not require an external power adapter for basic operation, as it draws power from the connected computers via USB. However, a 9V DC power input is available if additional power is needed for stability, especially with high-power USB devices or long cable runs. An optional 9V AC adapter can be purchased separately.

4. Zapnout

Once all connections are secure, power on your computers. The KVM switch will automatically detect the active computer or default to PC 1.

Návod k obsluze

The MANHATTAN 4-Port KVM Switch offers two methods for switching between connected computers:

1. Front Panel Push Buttons

Press the corresponding "PC 1", "PC 2", "PC 3", or "PC 4" button on the front panel of the KVM switch to select the desired computer. An LED indicator will illuminate to show which PC is currently active.

2. Keyboard Hotkeys

You can switch between computers using keyboard hotkey commands. The default hotkey sequence is:

• Stiskněte tlačítko Scroll Lock klíč dvakrát rychle za sebou.
• Then, press the number key corresponding to the desired PC (e.g., 1 for PC 1, 2 for PC 2, etc.).

Exampten: To switch to PC 3, press Scroll Lock, Scroll Lock, pak 3.

Some KVM switches also support switching using the Left CTRL key twice, followed by the PC number. Refer to the on-screen display or manufacturer's website for advanced hotkey configurations if the default does not work or if you wish to customize.

The KVM switch allows for independent or simultaneous switching of audio/microphone channels. By default, audio and microphone typically switch along with the selected PC. Consult the manufacturer's website or advanced settings for options to decouple audio switching from PC switching if desired.
