Local console connections: Keyboard and mouse
The AdderLink IP Gold supports both PS/2-style and USB-style keyboard and
mouse connections.
To connect a local keyboard and mouse
1 Wherever possible, ensure that power is disconnected from the AdderLink
IP Gold. Position a suitable keyboard and mouse in the vicinity of the
AdderLink IP Gold such that their cables will easily reach.
2 Connect the PS/2 or USB style keyboard and mouse to the KVMA CONSOLE
section of the AdderLink IP Gold rear panel:
• PS/2 style Connect PS/2 style keyboard and mouse cables to the ports
marked
and
within the KVMA CONSOLE section of the rear
panel.
• USB link Connect USB style keyboard and mouse cables to the ports
marked K / M within the KVMA CONSOLE section of the rear panel.
IMPORTANT: There is no internal conversion between PS/2 keyboard and
mouse connections and USB. Hence, if you use a PS/2 style keyboard and
mouse at the local console, you must also use PS/2 style links from the
AdderLink IP Gold to the computer / KVMA switch. Similarly, if you use a
USB style keyboard and mouse at the local console, you must also use a USB
style link from the AdderLink IP Gold to the computer / KVMA switch. You
may use the USB Virtual Media link with any combination of other devices.
You must not mix USB and PS/2 style keyboards and mice on the same
device.

Local console. Why?
A locally connected keyboard, video monitor and mouse are
required during the initial configuration of the AdderLink IP Gold.
However, these are also useful during normal use to allow quick
local control of any connected host computers.
