Analog KVM Switch

You can configure a Raritan analog KVM switch to work with the KX II-
101.

The KX II-101's compatibility has been verified with the following Raritan
KVM switches:

•

SwitchMan SW2, SW4 and SW8

•

Master Console MX416 and MXU

Similar products from Raritan or other vendors may be compatible but
support is not guaranteed.

Note: In order for the KX II-101 to work with analog KVM switches, the
switch hotkey that allows you to switch targets must be set to the Scroll
Lock default.

To configure a Raritan analog KVM switch:

1. Set the Host Interface on the Keyboard/Mouse Setup page to PS/2.

If you don't do this and try to configure an analog KVM switch, you
will receive the error "PS/2 is needed to access the KVM Switch.
Please enable PS/2 first!" on the Analog KVM Switch Configuration
page. See

Keyboard/Mouse Setup

(on page 143).

2. Click Device Settings > Analog KVM Switch. The Analog KVM

Switch Configuration page opens.

3. Select the Use Analog KVM Switch checkbox to enable to fields that

you must define.
