• This device is equipped with a three-wire grounding-type plug. This is a
safety feature. If you are unable to insert the plug into the outlet, contact
an electrician to replace your outlet with one that will accept this type of
plug. Do not attempt to defeat the purpose of the grounding-type plug.
Always follow your local/national wiring codes.
• Warning! There is a risk of explosion if the battery is replaced with
an incorrect battery type. Do not attempt to service the device
yourself. Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel.
Note: Before proceeding with installation, make sure all devices being connected to
the KVM switch are turned off.
1. Using audio/video cables appropriate for your switch model, connect the
video output port of each computer you are adding to the video input
ports of the KVM Switch.
Note: Models with Dual Monitor capability require two available video ports per
computer.
2. Using USB A/B device cables, connect a USB port on each computer
being added to the USB input ports of the KVM Switch.
Note: Models with CAC (Common Access Card) support require an additional USB
2.0 A/B cable connected to each computer.
3. Using 3.5 mm stereo audio cables, connect the audio output of each
computer you are adding to the audio input ports of the KVM Switch.

Miscellaneous KVM Functionality
Note: The following steps are intended for the system administrator only.
Disabling CAC Functionality
To disable CAC for any port on the KVM switch (all CAC ports are enabled
as default), use the front panel push-buttons to switch the KVM to the port
whose CAC mode you wish to change. Once selected, the push-button LED
for the selected port will illuminate blue to indicate CAC functionality is
enabled. Press and hold the button for 3 seconds until the blue push-button
LED turns off. CAC functionality for the port is now disabled.
Enabling CAC Functionality
To enable CAC for any port on the KVM switch, use the front panel push-
buttons to switch the KVM to the port whose CAC mode you wish to change.
Once selected, the push-button LED for this specific channel should be off
to indicate CAC functionality is disabled. Press and hold the button for 3
seconds until the blue push-button LED turns on. CAC functionality for the
port is now enabled.
CAC Port Configuration
Note: The following steps are intended for the system administrator.
CAC port configuration is an optional feature, allowing registration of
any USB peripheral to operate with the KVM. Only one peripheral can
be registered at a time, and only the registered peripheral will be able to
operate with the KVM. If a peripheral other than the registered peripheral
is plugged in to the USB-A CAC port, it will not work. When no peripheral
is registered, the KVM will default to operate with any CAC Reader. To
configure the USB-A CAC port, follow the instructions below.
Note: Only one computer connected to port 1 is required for this operation.
1. Open the Administration and Security Management Program (See the
EDID Learn section for download instructions). The Administration and
Security Management screen will appear.
