5. Instrukcje konfiguracji

Aby skonfigurować przełącznik KVM, wykonaj następujące czynności:

1. Wyłącz urządzenia: Ensure all computers and monitors are powered off before beginning the connection process.
2. Podłącz monitory: Connect your two DisplayPort monitors to the 'DP MONITOR OUT A' and 'DP MONITOR OUT B' ports on the KVM switch using DisplayPort cables.

For example, PC1's DisplayPort outputs connect to 'DP INPUT A1' and 'DP INPUT B1'. Notatka: Each computer requires two DisplayPort connections to the KVM switch for dual monitor support.
4. Connect Computers (USB): For each computer (PC1, PC2, PC3), connect a USB 3.0 cable from a USB 3.0 port on your computer to the corresponding 'USB3.0 INPUT' port on the KVM switch (e.g., PC1's USB to 'USB3.0 INPUT 1').
5. Podłącz urządzenia peryferyjne: Connect your keyboard, mouse, and any other USB 3.0 peripherals (e.g., printer, U disk) to the 'USB3.0' ports on the front panel of the KVM switch.
6. Podłącz przewodowy pilot (opcjonalnie): If desired, connect the wired remote control to the 'Wired Remote' port on the front panel.
7. Podłącz zasilanie: Plug the DC12V power adapter into the 'DC/12V' port on the KVM switch, then plug the adapter into a power outlet.
8. Włączanie: Turn on the KVM switch using the ON/OFF switch, then power on your monitors and computers.

6. Instrukcja obsługi

Po skonfigurowaniu przełącznika KVM można łatwo przełączać się między podłączonymi komputerami.

6.1 Przełączanie się między komputerami

You have two methods to switch between PC1, PC2, and PC3:

• Przyciski fizyczne: Press the 'PC1', 'PC2', or 'PC3' button on the front panel of the KVM switch to select the desired computer.
• Pilot przewodowy: Press the button on the wired remote control to cycle through the connected computers.

• A lit LED next to 'PC1', 'PC2', or 'PC3' indicates the currently selected computer.

7. Tryby wyświetlania

The KVM switch supports two primary display modes for your dual monitors:

• Copy Mode (Duplicate Mode): In this mode, the same image or content from the main screen is duplicated onto the second output screen. Both monitors display identical content.
• Tryb rozszerzania: In this mode, your desktop is extended across both monitors, allowing you to drag windows from one screen to the other. This provides a larger workspace.

To switch between Duplicate and Extend modes on Windows, press Klawisz Windows + P and select your preferred display option.

8. Resolution Support

The KVM switch supports high-definition video resolutions:

• Obsługuje do 8K@30Hz.
• Obsługuje do 4K@144Hz.
• Backward compatible with lower resolutions.

For achieving 8K@30Hz or 4K@144Hz resolutions, it is essential to use high-quality DisplayPort 1.4 cables. Ensure your graphics card and monitors also support these resolutions.

10. Rozwiązywanie Problemów

If you encounter issues with your KVM switch, please refer to the following troubleshooting steps:

• Brak obrazu na monitorze:
  • Ensure the KVM switch is powered on and the power adapter is securely connected.
  • Verify that all DisplayPort cables are securely connected between the computers, KVM switch, and monitors.
  • Check if the correct input source is selected on your monitors.
  • Confirm that your DisplayPort cables are DisplayPort 1.4 compliant, especially for high resolutions. Lower quality or older cables may not support the required bandwidth.
  • If using adapters (e.g., USB-C to DP), ensure they are compatible as per the 'Input and Output Compatibility' section.
  • Try connecting a computer directly to a monitor to rule out issues with the computer's video output or the monitor itself.
  • Restart the KVM switch, monitors, and computers.
• Klawiatura/mysz nie odpowiada:
  • Ensure the USB 3.0 cables are securely connected from each computer to the KVM switch.
  • Verify that the keyboard and mouse are connected to the designated USB 3.0 peripheral ports on the KVM switch.
  • Try connecting the keyboard and mouse directly to the computer to confirm they are functioning correctly.
  • Some specialized gaming keyboards/mice with advanced features may require direct connection or specific drivers.
• Przerywane wyświetlanie/migotanie:
  • This can often be caused by cable quality. Replace DisplayPort cables with certified DisplayPort 1.4 cables.
  • Zmniejsz rozdzielczość ekranu lub częstotliwość odświeżania, aby sprawdzić, czy problem nadal występuje.
  • Ensure there is no electromagnetic interference from other devices.
• USB 3.0 Devices Not Detected:
  • Ensure the USB 3.0 cables from the computers to the KVM switch are connected to USB 3.0 ports on the computers.
