Operation
Operating PCs/Laptops
You can control connected PCs or laptops using the keyboard and mouse connected to your B300-9X2-4K matrix switch.
However, you cannot control the matrix switch using the connected computers.
To properly install your PCs and laptops to the unit:
1. Connect your PC or laptop to Source 1 or Source 2, depending on the type of interface (VGA, HDMI, DisplayPort).
2. With a user-supplied USB Type-A to Type-B cable, connect to the USB-B port on the back of the unit with an available
USB-A port on your PC or laptop.
3. Attached a keyboard and mouse to their respective ports.
The B300-9X2-4K automatically switches the control of the keyboard and mouse to the source showing Display A. For
example, if your laptop is connected to Source 1 (HDMI) and the source is showing on Display A, you are capable of using the
keyboard and mouse. The Keyboard/Mouse and USB LEDs will also illuminate to indicate which Source (1 or 2) has control
over them.
To help protect confidential data, you can limit access to USB peripherals to a particular source, which can only be accessed when
Display A is assigned to that particular source. Press Menu and navigate to USB > Peripherals and select Source 1 or Source 2.
