Step 4. Powering up the system
4.1 Connect the provided power adapter(s) to the power connector on the
rear panel of MultiStation and to a power strip or wall outlet. Model
MLK-2U requires two power adapters, one for the local unit and one for
the remote unit.
4.2 Turn on all KVM video monitors.
4.3 Push the ON/Off switch on the rear panel to turn on the unit. Upon
power-up the yellow status LED(s) will light briefly, and then flash at one
second intervals indicating internal communication is established and the
system is active.
4.4 Boot-up the computer. You should see the boot-up sequence on all KVM
station monitors. If your computer was connected with power applied, you
do not have to re-boot the computer. MultiStation emulates all keyboard
and mouse functions for automatic boot-up. You may need to issue the
mode-command or reset command to have proper keyboard and mouse
communications. (See Table 8 for the proper command sequence)
Step 5. Testing the system
5.1 With all cabling in place and power applied to all equipment, all the KVM
video monitors should show the computers video. The default setting
allows access to the computer from any KVM station.
5.1.1 From KVM station #1, verify that the keyboard and mouse
functions properly
5.1.2 Verify keyboard and mouse functionality on all KVM stations.
5.2 There is a 2 second timeout default setting that inhibits the other KVM
stations keyboard and mouse activity. Once the controlling KVM station
has no keyboard or mouse activity for 2 seconds, another KVM station
can gain control. Wait at least 2 seconds before verifying the other KVM
stations.
NOTE: Before entering any MultiStation keyboard commands,
first press the right control key, then within 2 seconds,
enter the command. Example: Reset command – press
and release the right control key, then within 2 seconds,
press the “R” key.
Use only the numeric keys located above the keyboard
when entering numeric commands. The numeric
keypad is not recognized for valid numeric entries.
