Overview

The CS782DP takes a giant step forward from prior digital-

interfaced KVM models by offering DisplayPort functionality, USB

2.0 peripheral sharing (via a USB hub attached to the USB

mouse port), a rich bass experience for 2.1 surround systems

and a firmware upgrade function that allows you to keep up with

latest available versions.

Supporting the latest DisplayPort technology, for premium image

quality and vivid high-definition sound for music, movies and

games.

Another new feature of the CS782DP is the implementation of a

remote port selector. This means that you can now control port

switching from the desktop while the switch itself can be placed

in a convenient, out-of-the-way location. Also, in addition to new

hotkeys, the CS782DP offers the latest mouse port-switching

function – simply double-click on the scroll wheel of a USB mouse

to change ports.

Finally, the CS782DP's new Power on detection feature means

that if one of the computers is powered off, the CS782DP will

automatically switch to the other computer if powered-on.

Featuring an unbeatable combination of DisplayPort functionality,

USB 2.0 peripheral sharing convenience and enhanced user-

friendly operations, the CS782DP allows users to keep ahead of

the latest innovations in desktop multimedia and productivity.

Installation

1. Plug your keyboard and mouse into the console Keyboard/

Mouse ports located on the front side of the CS782DP. The

ports are labeled with icons with the mouse port on the top

and the keyboard port on the bottom.

Note: The console mouse connector is a USB 2.0 port and so

can accept any USB compatible peripheral. You can even

connect a hub to install multiple USB devices (this feature

may require an extra power adapter to be connected to

the USB hub and that the CS782DP’s Mouse Emulation

Mode be disabled). See Hotkey Summary Table, page 14

for information.

2. Plug your monitor into the DisplayPort port, located on the

front of the CS782DP. Power on the monitor.

into their respective ports on the computers you are installing.

6. If you choose to use the remote port selector, plug its cable

into the remote port selector female jack, located on the front

of the unit.

7. Power on the computers.

1. Make sure that the power to any device that you

connect to the installation has been turned off. You

must unplug the power cords of any computers that

have the Keyboard Power On function.

2. To prevent damage to your installation from power

surges or static electricity. It is important that all

connected devices are properly grounded.

The Firmware Upgrade Utility

To upgrade the CS782DP’s firmware, do the following:

1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation, download

the latest Firmware Upgrade package for the CS782DP from our

Internet support site (www.aten.com).

2. There are two ways to complete this step



Disconnect the CS782DP from your KVM installation. Press and

hold the Remote Port Selector’s pushbutton. While you are still

holding the pushbutton, connect the KVM cable’s Type-A USB

connector to a USB port on the computer you have downloaded

the Firmware Upgrade package to.



First, connect one of the KVM cable’s Type-A USB connector to a

USB port on the computer you have downloaded the Firmware

Upgrade package to. Then, use the keyboard connected to the

CS782DP to key in the following hotkeys: "u""p""g""r""a""d""e".

3. The CS782DP now enters Firmware Upgrade Mode. The two Ports

LEDs flash together to indicate that the unit is in Firmware Upgrade

Mode.

Note: While the CS782DP is in Firmware Upgrade Mode, normal

keyboard and mouse functions are suspended. You must

complete the firmware upgrade or exit Firmware Upgrade

Mode to regain normal control of the console.

4. Run the Firmware Upgrade Package file. The Firmware Upgrade

Utility Welcome screen appears.

5. Read the License Agreement and enable to I Agree button.

6. Click Next to continue. The Firmware Upgrade Utility main screen

appears. All the devices capable of being upgraded by the package

are listed in the Devices List panel.

7. Select your device. Its description appears in the Device Description

panel. Click Next to perform the upgrade.

As the upgrade proceeds, status messages appear in the Status

Messages panel, and the progress towards completion is shown in

the Progress bar.

8. After the upgrade has completed, a screen appears to inform you that

procedure was successful. Click Finish to close the Firmware

Upgrade Utility.

9. Set up your KVM installation again. See Installation, page 10.

- 17 -

Upgrade Failed

If the Upgrade Succeeded screen doesn’t appear, it means that

the upgrade failed to complete successfully, in which case you

should do the following:

1. Disconnect the USB connectors on the KVM cables from the

computer.

2. Press and hold the Remote Port Selector’s pushbutton. While

you are still holding the pushbutton, reconnect the KVM

cable’s USB connectors to the computer.

3. Power on the CS782DP. Follow steps 3 to 9 on pages 16-17

again.
