Tripp Lite B004-VPA2-K-R - Manual

Introduction
The B004-VPA2-K-R is a 2-port compact PS/2 KVM Switch
with optional audio and microphone switching function.
It allows you to access, control, boot and reboot multiple
PS/2-enabled computers using a single keyboard, monitor,
mouse console and optional speaker set and microphone.
The B004-VPA2-K-R also offers user-programmable
simultaneous/independent switching of applications. For
users who need to use a hot key sequence other than the
pre-programmed scroll locks, it also offers fi ve hot key
confi guration alternatives.
Installation
The KVM Switch is a plug-and-play device, eliminating the
need to confi gure the KVM Switch before installation.
Note: Before connecting the KVM Switch to the computers,
make sure all connected computers are powered-off.
Otherwise, the computers will not be able to recognize the
connected keyboard and mouse.
Step 1. Make sure all computers that are to be connected
to the KVM Switch and their peripherals are
in a powered-off state. If not, power them off before
you proceed with the following steps.
Step 2. Connect the shared PS/2 keyboard, mouse, monitor,
speaker set and microphone to the KVM Switch.
Step 3. Connect each of your computers to the KVM
Switch using the included KVM and audio/
microphone cables.
Step 4. Power-up the connected computers. After your
computers are powered up, the keyboard and
mouse will automatically be recognized. The KVM
Switch should now be powered-up. You can now
begin operating the KVM Switch.
Operation

The built-in push buttons allow you to directly control
switching between computers. Simply press the button
to switch computer ports. By default, Audio/Mic and PC
Switching are simultaneous. To disable this feature, use the

* User-defi nable: Scroll Lock, Caps, Esc, F12 or Num Lock.
Hot Key Sequence Confi guration
For users who want to use a sequence other than the two

additional convenient sequence confi guration option.

for new sequence selection). Or press and hold down
the last push button (Port Selection Button) until you
hear two beeps and then release the button.
Step 2. Select and press the key you would like to use as
your sequence (Scroll Lock, Caps, Esc, F12 or

you’ll hear a beep for selection confi rmation. Now
you can use the new sequence to execute your hot

Each keystroke within a hot key sequence should be
pressed within 2 seconds. Otherwise, the hot key sequence
will not be valid.
