Overview of the interfaces
Front panel of the KVM switch
The front panel of the KVM switch provides two USB ports to connect a USB key-
board and/or mouse.
NOTE:
The PS/2 interfaces to connect the console keyboard and mouse (at the back
panel of the KVM switch) and the USB interfaces at the device's front panel can be
used at the same time.
The front panel also provides an RS232 and Service socket.
You can use the RS232 port to connect a serial device (for example a special keypad)
to switch the active channel. Detailed information on this topic is given on page 19.
The Service socket helps you update the firmware and is used by the support team to
query different device parametres.

The front panel also provides multiple LEDs (see Status displays on page 7) and eight
buttons to select the active channel.
Back panel of the KVM switch
The back panel of the KVM switch provides ports to connect the console devices
and the computers. On the following pages, the ports are described in detail.
Mounting the device
1. Turn off the computers you want to connect to the KVM switch. Now, unplug
any keyboard and mouse cables from the PS/2interfaces.
2. Place the KVM switch between the computers and the console. Mind the maxi-
mum cable length of five metres between the KVM switch and the computers
you want to connect.
3. Before installing the KVM switch, decide which button on the front panel of the
device you want to assign to which computer.
