How to install Tripp Lite by Eaton Secure KVM Switch

• Power off all connected computers and peripherals before making connections to prevent any electrical or signaling issues.
• Identify the two computers you will control. Connect each computer’s DisplayPort output to the corresponding DisplayPort input on the KVM switch using high-quality DisplayPort cables.
• Attach your two DisplayPort displays to the KVM switch’s DisplayPort outputs, ensuring that you have the correct monitor configuration for each connected PC (e.g., extended desktop, clone, or primary display setup).
• Connect your keyboard and mouse to the console ports on the KVM switch. If your setup uses a USB keyboard and mouse, ensure they are plugged into the console USB ports as dictated by the device’s layout.
• Optionally connect any audio equipment (speakers or headphones) to the KVM’s audio ports to enable secure audio routing between devices and the console.
• Power up the KVM switch first, then power up the two connected computers. Allow the systems to boot normally and verify that the console detects both displays and input devices.
• Use the on-device switch button or the hot-key sequence to switch between PC1 and PC2. Confirm that each system accepts input and that video output is correctly routed to the chosen monitors.
• Test a typical workflow—move the mouse between screens, drag windows across displays, and run a simple application on each PC—to ensure seamless, secure switching in everyday operations.
