2.2 Connections
You may either use PS/2 or USB mouse and keyboard.
However, please note that USB mouse and keyboard signals from your local console will not be
converted and output as PS/2 signals to your server/KVM switch!
2.2.1 Host or KVM Switch Connection Side
Use the 3in1 KVM cable (VGA & 2x PS/2) attached to the KVM Switch to make the connections
to the host computer. If you either want to use the USB mouse and keyboard or the USB virtual
media feature, use the supplied USB A-Mini B cable to connect the USB Mini B port on the back
of the IP KVM SWITCH CLASSIC USB to a USB port on your server or KVM switch.
2.2.2 Console Connection Side
Connect your local keyboard, monitor and mouse console using the short VGA and PS/2 3in1
KVM splitter cable - connected to the IP KVM Switch port labelled Local - if you want to use
PS/2 peripherals – if you want to use USB peripherals only you may connect your monitor
directly to the HD15 connector on the IP KVM Switch. If you want to use a USB mouse and
keyboard connect them to the ports labelled USB located below the RJ45 ports. However,
please note that USB mouse and keyboard signals from your local console will not be converted
and output as PS/2 signals to your server/KVM switch.
2.2.3 Network Connection
The IP KVM SWITCH CLASSIC USB provides two RJ45 ports for Ethernet connection. The
ports can be used with a 100Mbps, 100Base-TX connection or a 10Mbps, 10Base-T
connection. The IP KVM SWITCH CLASSIC USB will sense the connection speed and
automatically adjust to the appropriate operation mode. The second port can be used to
cascade multiple KVM IP Switches.
10Mbps Connection, 10Base-T
Please note that this slow connection may not provide sufficient performance for the
compressed video data traffic and will result in low video and colour resolution and significantly
delayed reaction time for remote connections.
