How to Install IOGEAR 2-Port DisplayPort1.2 KVMP with Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
Step 1: Place the KVMP switch on your desk in a convenient location, ensuring there’s room for both computers and the monitor. Confirm that your monitor has a DisplayPort input and that you have the appropriate DisplayPort cabling for the two source computers.
Step 2: Connect each computer to the KVMP switch using DisplayPort cables. Insert one DisplayPort cable from Computer A into the first DP input port on the switch and another from Computer B into the second DP input port. Then connect a DisplayPort cable from the switch’s DP output to your monitor or to a DisplayPort hub if you’re using multiple displays.
Step 3: Activate peripheral sharing by attaching the wireless keyboard and mouse receiver to the KVMP’s USB port. If your wireless devices use separate USB dongles, insert the dongles into the USB downstream ports on the switch so both computers can recognize the peripherals as you switch sources. The keyboard and mouse will pair with the nearest computer when you switch, giving you uninterrupted control.
Step 4: Power on the devices. If the KVMP requires an external power supply, connect the included adapter; otherwise, the unit should power through the connected components. Ensure both computers are powered on and ready for input from the shared keyboard and mouse.
Step 5: Switch to your preferred computer using the front-panel button or the configured hotkeys. Confirm that the monitor displays the correct input and that the keyboard and mouse respond on the active machine. If you encounter any latency or display issues, recheck cable connections and ensure the DP cables are fully seated.
Step 6: Fine-tune your display settings for the best 4K experience. In your operating systems, set the display resolution to 3840x2160 at 60 Hz (or the highest supported mode) and adjust color settings as needed. You may also want to configure the USB device preferences within each OS to optimize keyboard response and mouse sensitivity.
Step 7: Save your configuration. If your setup includes additional peripherals or a second monitor, verify that all devices remain aligned with their respective sources when switching, and consider labeling cables for future maintenance. The goal is a seamless, distraction-free workflow where you can focus on content creation, coding, or data analysis without manual device reconfiguration every time you move between computers.
