Operating the SwitchView MM1
There are two ways to control the SwitchView MM1
switch for PC and hub port control: front panel
push-buttons or a hotkey sequence.
Front panel buttons
The front panel buttons provide direct control
over switch operation and channel switching
by simply pressing the PC buttons for PC port
switching or one of the USB buttons for USB hub
port control switching.
Before Installing
The default setting of the SwitchView MM1
USB KVM switch is appropriate for most
systems. However, to utilize a USB keyboard/
mouse, you may need to disable the PS/2
option in the BIOS and enable the USB option
instead. In order for your PC to fi nd your USB
keyboard and mouse, you will need to sync
your hub port control and PC port selection
(for example, the green PC port LED and red
USB hub port LED should be aligned). Also,
USB keyboard users will NOT be able to utilize
the SwitchView MM1 switch hotkey function.
NOTE:
Power down all computers and periph-
erals to be connected to the SwitchView MM1
switch before beginning installation.
Connecting your peripherals
Connect the shared PS/2 (or USB)
keyboard, monitor, mouse, speaker set and
microphone as well as other USB devices
to the SwitchView MM1 switch. It is also
recommended that you connect the external
power adaptor to your switch if you intend
to use USB hub ports. If connecting PS/2
computers you will use the 3-in-1 keyboard,
monitor and mouse cable. If connecting USB
computers, use the USB cable and seperate
VGA cable.
