I just received the Vetra 4 port Keyboard multiplier. I have it hooked up to work with a desktop and a notebook computer currently.

I also have the 4 port KVM with ports for video, PS2 mouse and PS2 keyboard.

My desktop computer has 1 PS2 mouse port, 1 PS2 keyboard port and a host of USB ports. Notebook is USB for keyboard and mouse.

What I want to do is to use the KVM so I can select to use the keyboard multiplier or to use the desktop computer without multiplying the keyboard or to use the notebook computer without multiplying. I have a question as to how to set this up.



Currently I am plugged in the keyboard to KVM. In PC 1 section, I have a cable going from the KVM to the keyboard multiplier. Then I have a cable going from one output on the multiplier to the PS2 keyboard port on the desktop and 1 to a USB port on the notebook (converting the PS2 to USB). That works fine and the keyboard is being multiplied to both computers.

What I thought I could do was to plus into the KVM the mouse I am using and the monitor. Then I have a set of KVM cables with video, PS2 cable for mouse and PS2 for keyboard. I thought that for the PC 2 output I would then connect those cables from the KVM to the desktop and then for PC 3 output would then connect those calbes to the notebook.



However, now I'm not sure that is right. For one thing, I don't have another PS2 port on the desktop so where would I plug in the KVM cables since I am already using the PS2 keyboard port to plug in the cable from the keyboard multiplier.

How do I need to connect the KVM and the multiplier to achieve what I want? (Hope this isn't confusing). Thanks.
