How to install TRENDnet TK-441DP

Follow these steps to set up the TK-441DP for immediate, reliable use with your multi-system workstation:

1) Position the TK-441DP within easy reach of your desk and your monitor. Ensure you have a DisplayPort-equipped monitor connected to the KVM’s DP output.

2) Connect each computer’s DisplayPort video output to one of the TK-441DP’s four DP input ports using quality DP cables. For best results, use DP 1.2 cables to support 4K @ 60 Hz.

3) Connect your USB peripherals you want shared (keyboard, mouse, USB flash drives, etc.) to the TK-441DP’s 2-Port USB 2.0 hub. This hub enables peripheral sharing across all connected hosts.

4) If you plan to route audio through the KVM, connect your speakers to the 3.5 mm speaker jack and your microphone to the 3.5 mm microphone jack on the TK-441DP. This enables audio switching between hosts along with video.

5) Connect the monitor and any required DP cables between the TK-441DP and the DP-enabled devices. Note that cabling is sold separately (TK-CP06) and is required for DP connections.

6) Power on all connected devices. Use the KVM’s front-panel controls to switch between active hosts, or follow the manual for keyboard or monitor-assisted switching if supported by your setup. Verify that the monitor is displaying the selected host and that USB peripherals and audio are functioning as expected.
