How to Install TRENDnet TK-407K

Begin with a clean, powered-down workspace. To install the TK-407K, connect each computer to the switch using the included detachable KVM cables. For each PC, attach the VGA output to the TK-407K’s VGA input and connect the PC’s USB keyboard and USB mouse ports to the corresponding KVM ports on the switch. Repeat this process for all four computers. Then, connect your console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor) to the TK-407K: plug a USB keyboard and mouse into the console ports, and connect a VGA monitor to the switch’s video output. If the device requires external power, ensure it is connected before powering on the system; otherwise, you can operate it via USB bus power in compatible setups.

Power on the TK-407K first (if required) followed by the connected computers. The first computer will typically be the default active device, indicated by the LED on the front panel. Use the front-panel push-buttons to switch between PCs, or employ keyboard hotkeys if your workflow supports hotkey switching. The LED indicators will confirm which computer is active, helping you navigate to the correct machine quickly during maintenance windows or urgent troubleshooting.

Configure your monitor settings to the preferred resolution, ensuring that the VGA output remains stable across the four connected machines. If you need to monitor multiple hosts, switch into Auto-Scan mode to let the TK-407K cycle through each PC, providing an overview of all systems without manual intervention. When you’re ready to work on a specific host, exit Auto-Scan and select the desired PC with the front panel or hotkeys. Regularly verify that all connections remain secure, especially after relocating equipment, to preserve reliable access and avoid intermittent display or input issues.
