Overview
HSL Secure KM Switch enables users to simultaneously operate four or eight computers,
each with its own displays, using a single set of keyboard and mouse. The user can easily
switch between computers and displays by simply moving the cursor from one display
to another.
For proper use, the HSL Secure KM Switch must be configured correctly according to the
actual placement of the displays, relative to each other.
This guide instructs how to install and configure the relative location of the displays to
match their physical locations.
There are two ways to configure the HSL Secure KM Switch with the actual display setup:
• Select one of the predefined setups
• Create and load a custom configuration file

1. Connect the KM Switch by plugging 'A' to 'B' USB cable to each computer's USB port.
2. If the computer uses audio output (speakers or headphones), connect an audio
cable from its audio output port to the corresponding AUDIO input port on the

Advanced Setup
If none of the preset configurations fit your display setup, you can create a custom
configuration and load it to the KM, which can be done on a separate computer not
connected to the KM Switch.
Creating and loading the custom configuration is a 2-step process:
• On a separate computer, create a custom configuration
• Load the configuration to the KM Switch

Step 1 – Create a Custom Display Configuration
Note: To define a new configuration file, you will need to know the resolution and size of
every display, along with the coordinates of every secondary display (on a computer that
has more than one display connected to it). See Display Resolution and Coordinates
for instruction on how to get the resolution and coordinates of each display.
On a separate computer, install the KM Admin Setup, which installs the KMC
