Connect the attached DE-15 VGA cable and the USB type A cable into the desired server. For DVI-I (analog) computer systems, please use a DVI to VGA adapter (StarTech.com ID: DVIVGAMF). A USB to PS/2 adapter is included for systems that require a PS/2 connected keyboard (mouse will not be available).
LED Indicators Server KB/Mouse: This lights up when the emulated USB keyboard/mouse is working. It will blink briefly whenever the emulated mouse moves, or emulated key is pressed. Constant flashing indicates some problem with the USB connection to the server. This can happen if disconnected, or if the host’s operating system is not enumerating the USB device.
Using the USB Crash Cart Adapter Once connected, the real-time video from the attached host computer is shown centered in the main window. Zooming By design, this program will never show scroll bars. The entire video picture is always completely visible.
Also in the Zoom menu is an option to center the window on the screen. This can be handy when it is off the edge of the screen. There is also a shortcut for maximize (toggle). This is the same as clicking the maximize button in the title bar of the main window. More Tips • If the laptop is widescreen (16:10 aspect, or 1280x800, etc), it may be helpful to locate the toolbar along the left or right vertical edge.

Video Menu There are three functions available under the Video menu: Auto fine-tune picture, Video Settings and Save PNG snapshot. Auto fine-tune picture Use to automatically adjust the sampling phase of the video. This makes the picture sharper and reduces USB traffic. This is generally not required since this operation is automatically performed when video is applied.
Capture Video Mode Details Displays then saves the current video mode settings used on the server, to a text file. Sets the default maximum video resolution on the USB Crash Cart Adapter. 1280x1024 is the factory set default. Keys Menu Item Most keystrokes are forwarded directly to the sever.
Simulate Hotplug (reset) Clicking on this menu item will ‘hotplug’ the USB going to the host keyboard and mouse. Hot plugging simulates unplugging the USB cable and immediately reconnecting it. It will reset the USB keyboard and mouse emulation completely. This can be used if the host operating system is confused.

MacOS X Scaling If you are controlling a Mac OS X computer with the USB Crash Cart Adapter, you should select this special mode. Without it, you will see that the two mouse pointers are aligned correctly at the center of the screen, but drift apart as you move closer to the edges of the screen.
To release captured mouse... In absolute mouse mode, you may simply move the laptop mouse over the window and click as desired. In relative mode, the mouse doesn’t do anything until you click once on the desktop. This captures the mouse and subsequent clicks and motion are sent to the controlled host. A dialog is shown to remind you how to get back to your laptop desktop.
Troubleshooting Symptom Problem/Suggested Course of Action No lights Adapter has no power from either USB connection. Try other USB ports. Black bar on left/top of image Use the Picture Positioning arrows on the Video Settings dialog to shift the image leftwards /upwards until no black can be seen.
