How to install ATEN 2-Port USB DisplayPort Dual Display Secure KVM Switch

Setting up this KVM switch is designed to be straightforward, minimizing downtime and enabling quick deployment across workstations or server rooms. Follow these general steps to install and configure the unit for reliable operation.

• Prepare your workspace: Place the KVM switch on a stable surface with clear access to power outlets and your two host computers. Ensure you have all required DisplayPort cables, USB cables, and any audio connections if your setup requires them.
• Connect host computers: Use DisplayPort cables to connect the two input ports on the KVM to the corresponding DisplayPort outputs on each computer. Connect USB cables from each computer to the USB input ports on the KVM to carry keyboard and mouse signals, along with any other USB peripherals you intend to share.
• Attach displays: Connect your two DisplayPort monitors to the KVM’s DisplayPort output ports. If you are running a dual-monitor setup per host, ensure each monitor is linked correctly to the respective input path, and verify both displays are detected by the operating systems.
• Peripheral and power connections: If you are using a USB hub or shared peripherals beyond the keyboard and mouse, connect them to the KVM’s USB hub ports. Plug the KVM into a power source if required by your model and power on all devices.
• Initial configuration and testing: Power up both host computers. Use the front-panel switch or your keyboard hotkeys to switch between hosts. Confirm that each computer recognizes the keyboard, mouse, and displays correctly. If EDID management is available on your unit, perform a quick EDID check to ensure consistent display output across switches.

Frequently asked questions

• What does a 2-Port USB DisplayPort Dual Display Secure KVM Switch do? It enables two separate computers to share a single keyboard, mouse, and two DisplayPort displays, allowing you to control both systems from one console while maintaining secure data paths per the PSD PP v4.0 standard.
• Can I run dual DisplayPort monitors at high resolutions? Yes. Dual DisplayPort outputs are designed to support high-resolution displays. Actual supported resolutions depend on your DisplayPort versions and monitor capabilities, but many ATEN DP KVMs are configured to accommodate up to 4K per screen in a dual-monitor setup, subject to system compatibility and cable quality.
• Which operating systems are supported? The switch is designed to work with common operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. In practice, you should be able to hotkey-switch between hosts and share peripherals across these platforms without requiring software installation on the host systems.
• How do I switch between computers? You can switch via a front-panel push button for immediate, physical selection, or by using programmable keyboard hotkeys for hands-free operation. This is especially beneficial in mission-critical environments where rapid switching minimizes downtime.
• Is the device compliant with PSD PP v4.0 security standards? Yes. The PSD PP v4.0 compliance indicates adherence to defined security and path-protection requirements, making it suitable for controlled environments where data security and secure peripheral sharing are important.
• Does it support audio or microphone sharing? Many dual-display KVM switches offer optional audio support, but you should verify audio input/output capabilities for your exact model. If supported, audio lines can be routed along with video and USB peripherals between hosts.
