MULTISTATION INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

Step 4. Powering up the system

4.1 Connect the provided power adapter(s) to the power connector on the

rear panel of MultiStation and to a power strip or wall outlet. Model

MLK-2U requires two power adapters, one for the local unit and one for

the remote unit.

4.2 Turn on all KVM video monitors.

4.3 Push the ON/Off switch on the rear panel to turn on the unit. Upon

power-up the yellow status LED(s) will light briefly, and then flash at one

second intervals indicating internal communication is established and the

system is active.

4.4 Boot-up the computer. You should see the boot-up sequence on all KVM

station monitors. If your computer was connected with power applied, you

do not have to re-boot the computer. MultiStation emulates all keyboard

and mouse functions for automatic boot-up. You may need to issue the

mode-command or reset command to have proper keyboard and mouse

communications. (See Table 8 for the proper command sequence)

Step 5. Testing the system

5.1 With all cabling in place and power applied to all equipment, all the KVM

video monitors should show the computers video. The default setting

allows access to the computer from any KVM station.

5.1.1 From KVM station #1, verify that the keyboard and mouse

functions properly

5.1.2 Verify keyboard and mouse functionality on all KVM stations.

5.2 There is a 2 second timeout default setting that inhibits the other KVM

stations keyboard and mouse activity. Once the controlling KVM station

has no keyboard or mouse activity for 2 seconds, another KVM station

can gain control. Wait at least 2 seconds before verifying the other KVM

stations.

NOTE: Before entering any MultiStation keyboard commands,

first press the right control key, then within 2 seconds,

enter the command. Example: Reset command – press

and release the right control key, then within 2 seconds,

press the “R” key.

Use only the numeric keys located above the keyboard

when entering numeric commands. The numeric

keypad is not recognized for valid numeric entries.
