Introduction Thank you for purchasing a StarTech.com Professional USB Console KVM Switch. This product offers a reliable and efficient way to manage multiple computers in server rooms, or any other environment where space is at a premium. The switch features an on-screen display that allows comprehensive monitoring of computer naming and selection as well as status indication.
Installation NOTE: Prior to the installation, please power off all devices that will be connected to this system. Ensure that all devices you will connect are properly grounded. Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to generate electrical noise. Console Installation The SV831DUSB and SV1631DUSB are designed to use both USB and PS/2 console connections, and are equipped with a slide switch console selector for the selection of USB or PS/2 modes.
USB Keyboard and USB Mouse: Slide switch to the far right position. Slide Switch selection: USB keyboard and USB mouse NOTE: When configuring the switch as a Slave in a cascaded configuration, PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse is the only mode that can be used. Therefore, SV431DUSB cannot be configured as a slave in a cascaded setup, as it does not provide a slide switch selector. Computer Installation USB Computer To connect a computer controlled through USB, use a StarTech.
PS/2 Computer To connect a computer controlled through PS/2, use a StarTech.com 3-in-1 Ultra-Thin PS/2 KVM cable (Product ID: SVECON) to connect from one of the PC ports to the PS/2 keyboard and mouse, as well as the VGA port of the computer system. Cascaded configurations NOTE: The master must have equal or more PC ports than that of the slave. For example, if an 8-port switch is the Master, an 8-port or 4-port switch can be a Slave, but not a 16-port switch.
The maximum number of computers controlled by a Master/Slave configuration with all 8-port units is 64, with 8 Slaves and each Slave connecting to 8 computers: The maximum number of computers controlled in a Master/Slave configuration with all 16-port units is 136, with 8 units of 16-port Slaves (to PC 1 - PC 8) and each Slave connected to 16 computers, plus 8 more computers connected directly to the Master (to ports PC A - PC H): After the connection has been completed, please re-activate the OSD menu to
Operation You may select a computer by pressing the front panel push button directly, by issuing hot-key commands or by activating the OSD window. The front panel indicator changes to reflect the computer port selected (red) and whether the port is connected to a powered computer (green). The indicator flashes red when it is in either Auto Scan or Manual Scan mode.
OSD (On Screen Display) Operation By hitting the left key twice within two seconds, you may see the ’Hotkey Menu’ if it is enabled (an OSD option). Or, by hitting the left key three times within two seconds, you will see a ’KVM MENU’ screen showing a list of the computers with corresponding channel addresses, names and status. The channel address (port number) of the currently selected computer is displayed in red, same as the front indicator, to the right of the OSD title ’KVM MENU’.
A triangle mark ( ►) to the right of a name indicates the port is cascaded to a Slave; the number at the left of the triangle mark shows the number of ports the Slave has (i.e. 8 for SV831DUSB). The key brings you one level down and another screen pops up listing the names of the computers on that Slave. The name of the Slave will be shown at the upper right corner of the OSD menu. It is useful to group computers and still be able to see the group name.
Function key : More functions are available by hitting < F4>. A new screen pops up displaying more functions as described below. Most of them are marked with a triangle ( ►) indicating there are options to choose from. Using the and arrow keys, select the functions and press . Available options will be shown in the middle of the screen. Again, using the and arrow keys to view options then press to select it. You can press to exit at any time.
Hotkey Menu: When you hit the left key twice within two seconds, the Hotkey Menu appears displaying a list of hot-key commands if this option is On. The Hotkey Menu can be turned Off if you prefer not to see it when the left key is hit twice. The non-volatile memory stores the Hotkey Menu setting. CH Display: • Auto Off: After you select a computer, the channel address and name of the computer will appear on the screen for 3 seconds then disappear automatically.
NOTE: It is unnecessary to switch the Sun mark ON or OFF if an authentic Sun keyboard is being used on the console. In other words, you must ensure that the Sun-marked port has not been selected if you are already using a Sun keyboard.
When Auto Scan detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning until the activity stops. It then resumes with the next computer in sequence. The length of the Auto Scan interval (Scan Rate) is adjustable. To abort Auto Scan mode, press the left key twice. NOTE: Scan Type determines whether an eye-marked computer is to be displayed during Auto Scan.
