Verifying Ethernet connections
The Ethernet connection has two LEDs. The green LED on the right is the Link indicator. It is lit 
when a valid connection to the network is established, and it flashes when there is activity on the 
port. The amber/green LED on the left indicates the device is communicating at 100 Mbps (amber) 
or 1000 Mbps (green) when using the Ethernet connection.
Connecting local peripheral devices
To connect local peripheral devices to the KVM switches:
Connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to each set of color-coded ports on the rear of the KVM 
switch.
To connect local virtual media: 
Connect the virtual media to any of the four USB ports on the KVM switch. For all virtual media 
sessions, you must use a KVM USB VM server module.
Adjusting mouse settings
Before a computer connected to the KVM switch can be used for remote user control, you must set 
the target mouse speed and turn off acceleration.
