how to install ATEN 4-Port USB HDMI Secure KVM Switch

  • Place the CS1184H4 on a stable, vibration-free surface in a secure area and position the monitor so it remains within a comfortable viewing angle for the operator.
  • Connect the monitor to the switch’s HDMI output using a high-quality HDMI cable to ensure reliable video delivery across all hosts.
  • For each host computer, connect its HDMI video output to the corresponding HDMI input on the switch, and attach the host’s USB peripherals to the appropriate USB ports on the switch to enable keyboard and mouse sharing.
  • Attach a keyboard and mouse to the console USB ports on the CS1184H4 to define the local control console. If preferred, you can use the host’s own keyboard and mouse for local control in conjunction with the console setup.
  • Secure all cables with ties or cable management solutions to prevent accidental disconnections and to maintain a neat, secure workstation in accordance with security best practices.
  • Power on the devices in the recommended sequence: monitor, switch, and then each host computer. Confirm that the host systems boot normally and that you can initialize control from the console.
  • Use the front-panel buttons or configured hotkeys to switch between hosts. Verify that video and input devices respond correctly on each host, and ensure any attached USB peripherals function as expected when transitioned between systems.
  • Document the connection configuration and switch identity in accordance with your organization’s security policy to support audit trails and change management.
