2/4 ports PS2 KVM Switches 

 

 

               
              

 

The Edimax KVM switch series is a 2/4-port Slim Palmtop 
PS/2 KVM Switch with optional audio and microphone 
switching function. It allows you to access, control, boot and 
reboot multiple PS/2-enabled computers using only one 
keyboard, video, mouse, and optional speaker set and 
microphone. It also offers user-programmable 
simultaneous/independent switching of PC channel and 
Audio/Mic channel for flexible multimedia application with 
KVM switching.  For users who might need to use a hotkey 
preceding sequence other than two scroll locks, we also 
offer five key alternatives for free configuration. 
 

 
The default setting of the KVM switches

 is appropriate for 

most systems. The KVM Switch is a Plug-and-Play device 
for installation. In fact, you do not need to configure the KVM 
Switch before installation. 

For the first time installation of the KVM Switch, please 
follow the instructions below for correct setup sequence: 

The correct setup sequence is …… 

(1)  Connect the shared keyboard, monitor and mouse (and 
optional speaker set and microphone) to the KVM Switch first, 
and then connect your computers. 
 
(2)   Power up your connected computers… 
Since the KVM Switch receives power from the computer’s PS/2 
interface, it is powered up when you connect the KVM Switch to a 
PC.

 

 DO NOT TRY to connect the KVM Switch to the computers 

while the computers are still in powered-on states.  Otherwise, the 
computer will have difficulty recognizing your shared keyboard and 
mouse.  

 
Step 1.  Make sure all the computers that are to be 

connected to the KVM Switch and their peripherals 
are in powered-off state.  If not, power them off 
before you proceed with the following steps. 

 
Step 2.  Connect the shared PS/2 keyboard, mouse, monitor, 

speaker set and microphone to the KVM switch.  

 
Step 3.  Connect each of your computers to the KVM switch, 

using appropriate KVM & Audio/Mic cables.

 

 

 

Step 4.  (Now your KVM Switch should have been powered-

up….) Power up the connected computers one by 
one. After your computers are powered up, the 

keyboard and mouse will be recognized and now 
you can begin operating the KVM switch. 

 
There are two methods to control your KVM Switch for PC 
switching: using the face-panel push button or a hotkey 
sequence. For audio/mic switching, use the hotkey 
command.

 
Face-panel buttons  
The face-panel buttons allows you a direct control over PC 
port switching. Simply press the button to switch PC port. By 
default, PC port switching and Audio/Mic port switching are 
bound together (both will be switched simultaneously).  
If you want to enable the binding of PC and audio/mic port 
switching, use the hotkey sequence, ScrLk +ScrLk + Q. To 
disable the binding again, just hit ScrLk +ScrLk + W.

 

* User-definable = SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12 or NUM 
LOCK 

Hotkey preceding sequence configuration: For users 
who want to use a preceding sequence other than two 
consecutive Scroll Locks, there is also one convenient way 
to configure it:   
 

Step 1. Hit ScrollLock + ScrollLock + H, then two beeps will signal 

readiness for new preceding sequence selection. [or Press 
and hold down the last front-panel button (Button 2 or Button 
4) until you hear two beeps, and then release the button.]  

 
Step 2. Select and press the key you would like to use as your 

preceding sequence (

SCROLL LOCK, CAPS, ESC, F12 or 

NUM LOCK keys are available for selection) and you’ll hear 
a beep for selection confirmation. Now you can use the new 
preceding sequence to execute your hotkey commands.  

 Another way to activate the Hotkey preceding sequence 

configuration is to press the last front-panel button (button 2/button 
4) for over 3 seconds to set the KVM switch into hotkey 
configuration mode. Then you select and press the key that you’ll 
choose as the preceding sequence. 
 

 

Each keystroke within a hotkey sequence should be pressed 

within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the hotkey sequence will not be 
validated.
