----------------- Introduction
Overview
The DAG12 and DAG14, fully compatible with USB
specification, are combination of USB KVM
(keyboard/Video/mouse) switch and USB peripherals
sharing device. With the DAG12 or DAG14, you can
easily operate up to 2 or 4 PCs, G3/G4 Macs, or iMacs
respectively from 1 USB keyboard, 1 USB mouse, and
1 monitor saving you space, time, equipment and
money. Its peripheral sharing function enables you to
share more USB peripherals among all computers.
Installation is as easy as connecting USB A-B cables
to computers and to the DAG switch. Computer
selecting is as easy as front panel button pressing.
The built-in USB hub ensures smooth switching from
one computer to the other. The DAG switches
provide the easiest way to manage multiple computers
with USB interface and share USB peripherals among
computers. No more tangled cables and messy
working environment; let the DAG switch do the
computer switching for you.

----------------- Installation
PC BIOS Notice
The following BIOS setup changes are necessary for
PC users and not necessary for Mac users:
1. In STANDARD CMOS, set HALT ON ERROR to
ALL BUT KEYBOARD.
2. In PNP AND PCI SETUP, set PNP OS INSTALLED
to YES and set USB IRQ to ENABLED.
Note: The DAG switch is applicable for USB keyboard
and mouse switching from one computer to the
other. If you plan to share other peripherals
such as a CCD camera, printer or scanner, it is
required to shut down the driver of the computer
before switching to another computer.
Because port switching is equivalent to
unplugging the USB cable from one computer
and plugging it to another one, some USB
drivers check attached USB peripherals all the
time and do not accept plug-n-play function.

Console Connection
Before installation, make sure all devices and
computers to be connected to the DAG switch have
been turned off.
Plug a monitor to the Console's DVI-I port; plug a USB
keyboard and a USB mouse to any two of the
Console's USB ports as shown in figure 3.
