KVM Conf iguration
The N2135 Encoders and N2235 Decoders are KVM-capable. By default, USB connections are enabled and configured to follow
video switching.
Basic Setup
Follow these steps for basic KVM configuration:
1.
On the N2135 Encoder, connect the USB Mini-B port to the computer to be controlled.
2.
Connect the computer's video output to the Encoder's HDMI IN port.
3.
On the N2235 Decoder, connect the HDMI OUT to the display.
4.
Connect a USB keyboard and mouse to the Decoder's USB Standard-A ports (they can be plugged into either port).
NOTE: For wireless devices, simply plug the wireless signal receivers into these ports. For keyboard and mouse combos (with a single
connection) use the keyboard port.
5.
Using N-Able, click the Unit Management tab.
6.
Click the Auto Discover button to discover your new devices (if you have not already done so).
7.
Once discovery is complete (and you see the new units listed in N-Able), click the Video Matrix tab.
8.
On the matrix, click the common cell for the desired Encoder/Decoder streaming combination.
9.
Click the Take button to make the change to your matrix. The radio button turns green to indicate the connection was
successful.
WARNING: You must assign KVM passwords to your Encoders and Decoders (as well as change the default login password from
admin/password) in order for your system to be secure.
Video/USB Switching Options
USB Follows Video: By default, units can be switched using N-Able without modifying the configuration. When you switch video
streams (using the matrix) the USB functionality will follow the video.
Independent USB Switching: Use N-Able's USB Matrix tab to switch USB control (without affecting video).
Independent Video Switching: To switch video streams without affecting USB control, first select N-Able > Settings from N-Able's
main menu. When the N-Able Settings dialog box is displayed, disable the USB follows Video switching for KVM units. Now you can
use the Video Matrix to switch video streams only.
Advanced KVM Functionality: To have the ability to use KVM hotkeys for switching, KVM Advanced Settings must be enabled on
the individual unit (select KVM from the top of the unit's web interface). The next section discusses these settings in more detail.
