Installation
Notes: Before you begin, power off all devices that you will be connecting
to the KVM switch. You must also unplug the power cords of any computers
that have the Keyboard Power On feature. There is a 3.5mm port on the
front of the B004-DUA4-K-R for use with an optional wired remote control.
1. Connect the external power supply to the KVM, and then plug it into
a Tripp Lite Surge Suppressor, Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS), or
Power Distribution Unit (PDU).
2. Connect your USB keyboard and mouse to the two USB ports on the left of
the KVM switch. (The two USB ports on the right are for peripheral devices.)
3. Connect a microphone and speakers to the corresponding 3.5mm
stereo ports.
4. Connect your DVI monitor to the DVI console port on the KVM.
Note: If you are connecting to a VGA monitor, use Tripp Lite’s DVI to
VGA adapter cable, model P556-006
5. If you are connecting USB peripherals, plug them into the two USB 2.0
ports on the right. (The two USB ports on the left are for the shared
keyboard and mouse.) The B004-DUA4-K-R includes an additional two
USB 2.0 peripheral ports on the front of the unit.
6. Using the included DVI + Audio KVM cable kits and USB A/B cables,
connect the computer ports on the KVM to a computer.
Note: If you are connecting to a computer with a DVI-D port, use a
Tripp Lite DVI-I to DVI-D adapter, model P118-000.

Operation
There are two ways to access the computers connected to your KVM
switch; Pushbutton or Keyboard Hotkey Commands.
Pushbutton
Press the pushbutton on the KVM to toggle between the connected
computers. When toggling between ports, the default is for the computer,
audio and USB hub functionality to be switched together. To un-bind
either audio or USB hub control from port switching, use the keyboard
hotkey commands listed in the following section.
Keyboard Hotkey Commands
Another way to switch between connected computers is to use keyboard
hotkey commands. Besides allowing you to switch computers, hotkey
commands enable you to perform other functions, such as binding/
unbinding computer switching with audio and/or the USB hub ports, initiate
an auto scan, etc. The following table lists the available keyboard hotkey
commands, explains how to initiate them and describes what they do.
