Analog KVM Switch
You can configure a Raritan analog KVM switch to work with the KX II-
101.
The KX II-101's compatibility has been verified with the following Raritan
KVM switches:
• SwitchMan SW2, SW4 and SW8
• Master Console MX416 and MXU
Similar products from Raritan or other vendors may be compatible but
support is not guaranteed.
Note: In order for the KX II-101 to work with analog KVM switches, the
switch hotkey that allows you to switch targets must be set to the Scroll
Lock default.
To configure a Raritan analog KVM switch:
1. Set the Host Interface on the Keyboard/Mouse Setup page to PS/2.
If you don't do this and try to configure an analog KVM switch, you
will receive the error "PS/2 is needed to access the KVM Switch.
Please enable PS/2 first!" on the Analog KVM Switch Configuration
page. See Keyboard/Mouse Setup (on page 143).
2.
Click Device
Settings > Analog KVM Switch. The Analog KVM
Switch Configuration page opens.
3. Select the Use Analog KVM Switch checkbox to enable to fields that
you must define.
4. Select the Raritan switch type from the Switch Type drop-down:
 Raritan MCC
 Raritan MX
 Raritan MXU

5. The Port Count field will be populated with the number of ports
available based on the switch type that is selected. Change the port
count if needed or use the default counts. The defaults are:
