  1. Connect the controlled host’s video output to the KVM’s HDMI port using an HDMI cable.

  2. Connect the controlled host to the KVM via a USB cable.This connection provides both keyboard/mouse control and KVM power supply, as well as the following functions:

    • Mouse: Supports two modes

      • Relative Mode: Standard mouse operation. Reports the distance and direction of movement, moving the cursor relative to its current position.
      • Absolute Mode: Cursor position directly maps to screen coordinates. Suitable for touchscreens or operations requiring precise positioning.
    • Keyboard: Standard keyboard input.

    • UMS (USB Mass Storage): Mount image files or external storage devices.

    • UAC (USB Audio Class): Provides sound card functionality.

  3. Connect the KVM to a local area network (LAN) or the Internet using an Ethernet cable.
