Hardware Installation Procedure

1.7.1

Connecting the DKVM-IP1 to a Host computer

1. Turn off your computer and DKVM-IP1.
2. Connect the DKVM-IP1 to the Host computer (the computer that will be controlled from
a remote location):
a. Have the relevant USB, PS/2 (keyboard and mouse) and VGA connectors ready
for connecting to the Host computer.
b. Ensure that the connector types you want to connect (USB, PS/2) are supported by
your computing systems. Some computer systems only support one of the two
types.
c. Connect your VGA connectors and other supported connectors (USB or PS/2 or
both) to the Host computer. Follow the guidelines below:

VGA: Use the included VGA cable to connect the Host computer's VGA Out
port to the DKVM-IP1's VGA In port. Use another VGA cable(not included) to
connect the DKVM-IP1's VGA Out port to your Host computer's monitor.

PS/2 (front): (optional) The PS/2 ports in the front (the "clean" or "face" side) of
the DKVM-IP1 can be used to connect a PS/2 keyboard and mouse for direct
control of the Host computer by Host-side users. This saves the trouble of
unplugging any cables when Local (Host-side) control is required.

PS/2 (back): Use the included PS/2 keyboard and mouse to connect the PS/2
mouse/keyboard ports on the back of the DKVM-IP1 to the mouse/keyboard
ports on the Host computer. Alternatively, if you will be using a USB mouse
and keyboard to control the Host computer, you can use the USB port instead.
(refer to next step)

USB (Keyboard and Mouse): If you will be using a USB mouse and keyboard
to control the Host computer(such as if the Host computer does not have PS/2
ports), use a Type A(male) to Type B(male) USB cable(one is included in your
package) to connect the USB Keyboard/Mouse port on the DKVM-IP1 to an
available USB port on the Host computer.

Ethernet: Use an Ethernet cable(one is included in your package) to connect
the Ethernet port of the DKVM-IP1 to your local network. This local network
will need to be connected to either the remote computer you will use to control
the Host computer, or to the Internet. If you wish to remotely control the Host
