Port Numbering Each CPU port on the KVM switch is assigned a port number 1 or 2 for the SV231USBAN; 1 to 4 for the SV431USBAN). The port numbers are marked on the rear panel of the switch. The Port ID of a computer is derived from the CPU port number to which it is connected. For example, a computer connected to CPU port 2 has a Port ID of 2. The Port ID is used to specify which computer gets the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus with the Hotkey port selection method.
Operation There are two convenient methods to switch the KVM, USB hub, and audio focus among the ports: Manual - which involves pressing the push button port selection switches located on the unit’s front panel; and Hotkey - which involves entering combinations from the keyboard. Manual Port Switching Press and release a switch (for less than three seconds) to bring only the KVM focus to the computer attached to its corresponding port.
Cycling Through the Ports Cont’d [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [K] [Enter] Brings only the KVM focus from the port that currently has it to the next port on the installation. The USB hub and audio focus remain where they are. [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [U] [Enter] Brings only the USB hub focus from the port that currently has it to the next port on the installation. The KVM and audio focus remain where they are.
Hotkey Action [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [n] [S] [Enter] Brings only the audio focus to the computer attached to the specified port. The KVM and USB hub focus remain where they are. [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [n] [K] [U] [Enter] Brings the KVM and USB hub focus to the computer attached to the specified port. The audio focus remains where it is. [Scroll Lock] [Scroll Lock] [n] [K] [S] [Enter] Brings the KVM and audio focus to the computer attached to the specified port.
Please Note: The [n] stands for the number of seconds that the KVM Switch should dwell on a port before moving on to the next. Replace the [n] with a number between 1 and 99 when entering this hotkey combination. Although the video focus switches from port to port, the keyboard, mouse, audio and USB focus doesn’t switch. They stay at the port they were on when Auto Scanning started.
Alternate HSM Invocation Keys An alternate set of HSM invocation keys is provided in case the default set conflicts with programs running on the computers. To switch to the alternate HSM invocation set, do the following: 1. Invoke HSM (see “Invoking Hotkey Setting Mode”). 2. Press and release the [H] key The HSM invocation keys become the [Ctrl] key and [F12] (instead of [Num Lock] and minus [-] ). Please Note: This procedure is a toggle between the two methods.
Function Key Operation [F2] Sets the Mac keyboard operating platform. [F3] Sets the Sun keyboard operating platform. [F10] Auto detects the keyboard operating platform (for PC compatible systems). Activates Pass Through keyboard mode (keystrokes are sent directly to the computer instead of through the Mac or Sun emulator).
Hotkey Beeper Control The Beeper can be hotkey toggled On and Off. To toggle the Beeper, do the following: 1. Invoke HSM (see “Invoking Hotkey Setting Mode”). 2. Press and release the [B] key. The Beeper toggles On or Off. The Command Line displays Beeper On or Beeper Off for one second, then the message disappears and you automatically exit Hotkey Mode. Disable Port Switching Keys To disable the Port Switching Keys ( [Scroll Lock], [Scroll Lock] / [Ctrl], [Ctrl] ), do the following: 1.
HSM Summary Table Key Function [H] Toggles between the default and alternate HSM invocation keys. [T] Toggles between the default and alternate Port Switching keys. [F2] Sets the Mac keyboard operating platform [F3] Sets the Sun keyboard operating platform [F4] Lists the current hotkey settings via the Paste function of a text editor or WP. [F5] Performs a USB reset. [F10] Auto detects keyboard operating platform (PC compatible systems).
Keyboard Emulation Mac Keyboard The PC compatible (101/104 key) keyboard can emulate the functions of the Mac keyboard.
Sun Keyboard The PC compatible (101/104 key) keyboard can emulate the functions of the Sun keyboard when the Control key [Ctrl] is used in conjunction with other keys.
The Firmware Upgrade Utility The Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility (FWUpgrade.exe) provides a smooth, automated process for upgrading the KVM switch’s firmware. The Utility comes as part of a Firmware Upgrade Package that is specific for each device. New upgrade packages are posted on our web site as new firmware revisions become available. 1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation go to the product listing for the appropriate switch, on our website (http://www.startech.
Starting the Upgrade Please Note: The screenshots in this section are for example purposes. The screens that appear during your firmware upgrade may vary slightly as to their wording and descriptions. To upgrade your Firmware: 1. Run the downloaded Firmware Upgrade Package file - either by double clicking the file icon, or by opening a command line and entering the full path to it. The Firmware Upgrade Utility will begin to extract the files necessary for installation : 2.
3. After you have made your device selection(s), Click Next to perform the upgrade. • If you enabled Check Firmware Version, the Utility compares the device’s firmware level with that of the upgrade files. If it finds that the device’s version is equal to, or higher than the upgrade version, it brings up a dialog box informing you of the situation and gives you the option to Continue or Cancel.
Upgrade Succeeded After the upgrade has completed, a screen appears to inform you that the procedure was successful: Click Finish to close the Firmware Upgrade Utility. After a successful completion, the switch exits Firmware Upgrade Mode and resets itself. Upgrade Failed If the Upgrade Succeeded screen doesn’t appear, it means that the upgrade failed to complete successfully, in which case you should repeat the upgrade procedure from the beginning.
