The KMconfiguration utility allows administrators to define the number of monitors connected to each
computer. Monitors can vary in size and resolution, and can be arranged in multiple layouts. You must
download and install the KM configuration utility from the Software Downloads section on the Vertiv web
site.
The KMconfiguration utility operates only with Microsoft® Windows®. Before downloading and installing
the KM configuration utility, ensure at least Microsoft® Windows®XP is installed on the computers to be
connected. The following browsers support the KMconfiguration utility:
• Google Chrome 20.0 or higher
• Microsoft® Internet Explorer®
• Mozilla® Firefox®
Before creating a KMconfiguration file, verify the number of computers and monitors to be connected to
the KM switch and the monitors' sizes and resolutions.
2.4.1 Creating a KM configuration file
A KM configuration file is referred to in the KM configuration utility interface as a KMconfiguration
project. Each customized setup requires its own project. You can create projects using the
KMconfiguration utility project wizard. After completing the steps in the wizard, the KMconfiguration file
is generated and downloaded to the computer.
The following table lists guidelines for entering project file information.
