cables from your computers to the NS-211KA unit. Using a
second audio cable, connect one end of the male 3.5mm

computer and connect the other end to the Microphone In
jack of your NS-211KA. Repeat this for all PCs.

7.Now make sure to verify all cables, Especially keyboard

and mouse cables should be checked because they are
easily switched due to use of the same type of connector.

8.Attach the power supply to the NS-211KA unit and plug it

into the mains. Now you will see the LED for Port 1 light up,
and you will hear a beep. Switch on your Monitor.

9.Now power up all computers simultaneously, the first

computer will be shown on the monitor. You may check if
the mouse and keyboard work after the system has booted
up. If this is OK, use the  Select  button to select the other
computer and verify the functionality in the same way. In
case you find errors, first check all cables for proper
connections.
