* Only cables specifically designed to work with this switch can be used
(see page 3 for details). Do NOT attempt to use ordinary 15 pin VGA
connector cables to link these ports to the computers.
If you choose to use external power, the power adapter
cable plugs into this jack.
Note: Use of a power adapter (DC 5V) is optional, and
requires a separate purchase. See p. 9 for power adapter
details.
The Firmware Upgrade Cable that transfers the firmware
upgrade data from the administrator's computer to the
CS1742 / CS1744 plugs into this RJ-11 connector. See
Chapter 6 for firmware upgrading details.
The cables from your console components (keyboard,
mouse, monitors, speakers and microphone), plug in here.
Each port is marked with an icon to indicate itself.
The cables that link the switch to your computers plug in

Each port is comprised of two connectors: The upper
connector carries the audio data (microphone and
speakers) and the video data for monitor B; the lower
connector carries the USB data (keyboard, mouse, and
peripherals) and the video data for monitor A.
Cables from your USB peripherals (printers, scanners, etc.)
can plug in here, as well as into the USB port on the front
