INTRODUCTION
There are two models in the USB-844 MegaCastPlus™
series:
The USB-844-BC USB Keyboard or USB Mouse Broadcaster-Multicaster connects either one USB keyboard or one USB mouse to up to four PC's simultaneously.
The USB-844-KM-BC connects both a keyboard and a mouse to up to four PC's simultaneously.
In both units, the keyboard and/or mouse are routed simultaneously to all connected PC's. Both models allow one hub between the input devices and the Broadcaster-Multicaster. The hub may be external or built into the keyboard, but only one device may be connected to the hub for the USB-844-BC and two devices for the USB-844-KM-BC. Both models feature user-controlled Inversion Multicasting, where PC #1 is excluded from multicasting. Multicasting remains active for PC's 2 - 4. Both keyboard/mouse Broadcaster-Multicaster models come with the VIP-210 power supply.
Note: The "MegaCast"
does not come with USB connection cables. One
cable per PC is needed. They may
be ordered from Vetra separately.
INSTALLATION
Before connecting
PC's to the Broadcaster-Multicaster, make sure the
Broadcaster-Multicaster
is powered by its Power Supply! The PC's may be powered or not
when you connect them to the Broadcaster-Multicaster. Keyboard
or mouse may be connected to the Broadcaster-Multicaster at any
time. Do not power down the Broadcaster-Multicaster while any
PC is connected to the Broadcaster!
There
are three main steps to make the Broadcaster-Multicaster ready
for use:
1. Power Up:
First, connect the power supply included with the
Broadcaster-Multicaster
to the Power Jack, marked "+5VDC IN", on the back panel
of the Broadcaster. Note that the front panel "PWR ON"
indicator on the Broadcaster is on. When powering up or connecting
the PC's, note that the appropriate "PC STATUS" indicator
on the front panel comes on.
2. Connect PC's to Broadcaster-Multicaster unit:
For both the USB-844-BC and USB-844-KM-BC: Connect any
available
USB input on the PC's to the Broadcaster-Multicaster using USB
A-B cables. Connect PC #1's USB port to the back panel connector
of the Broadcaster-Multicaster marked "PC1". Connect
USB ports of PC's 2 - 4 to the back panel connectors marked "PC2"
- "PC4". The Broadcaster-Multicaster will operate with
less than all four PC's connected.
3. Connect Keyboard and/or Mouse to Broadcaster-Multicaster
unit:
For the USB-844-BC, connect a USB keyboard or mouse to the
Broadcaster-Multicaster at the front panel marked "DEVICE
IN". Note that to select inversion multicasting, a keyboard
is required. Therefore, if a mouse is used with the USB-844-BC,
inversion multicasting cannot be selected.
For the USB-844-KM-BC, connect the USB keyboard to
the
Broadcaster-Multicaster at the front panel marked "KBD IN"
and the mouse to the front panel connector marked "MSE IN".
OPERATION
Selecting
Inversion Multicasting:
The Broadcaster-Multicaster
powers up in multicasting mode. Keyboard and/or mouse data goes
