faces.

Setting up the device

1. Ensure that the computers, which are to be connected to the KVM switch, are
turned off. If the computers are provided with both keyboards and mouses,
unplug the cables of the input devices from the PS/2 or USB interfaces.
2. Place the KVM switch between the computers and the console. Please mind the
maximum cable length of five metres between the KVM switch and the computers
which are to be connected.
3. Before installing the KVM switch, decide which button on the front panel of the
device should be assigned to which computer.
