How to use

Install the TK-1603R into a standard 19" rack using the included mounting brackets. Connect each target computer to the KVM using the appropriate KVM cable to the USB port and VGA video connector. Attach your console keyboard, mouse and monitor to the front or rear console ports depending on model layout. Power the unit, then switch between connected computers using the configurable hot-key sequence or the front-panel push button. Hot-plugging of PCs is supported so systems can be connected or disconnected without powering down the KVM.

Recommendations

For best video performance, use good-quality VGA cables and verify each target system’s video output settings. If you manage mixed OS platforms, enable firmware updates as needed and test hot-key switching after installation to ensure keyboard mappings are correct.
