3. Plug your microphone and speakers into the audio console ports located on

the unit’s rear panel.

4. If you have a headset plug it into the audio console ports located on the

into an available DVI socket A in the KVM port section of the switch, then

plug the accompanying USB, microphone and speaker connectors into

icon.

6. At the other end of the custom USB DVI Dual Link cable set, plug the

USB, monitor, microphone, and speaker cables into their respective ports

on the computer.
