Software Requirement: This board typically requires Mach3; there is no official plugin for Mach4. You must download the RnRMotion.dll driver and place it in your Mach3 plugins folder for the software to recognize the USB connection.

Supports spindle start, reverse, and pump control via isolated relay outputs. Inputs (I1–I4): Digital inputs for limit switches, E-Stop, and tool probes. Artsoft- Mach Software Configuration (Mach3)

1. Power Down: Advises shutting down all connected computers prior to connection to prevent electrical shorts or detection errors.
2. Console Connection: Connecting the monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the "Console" ports on the KVM. Note that the keyboard and mouse can be either PS/2 or USB.
3. PC Connection: Utilizing specific KVM cable sets (USB + VGA) to connect the switch to the respective computers.
4. Power: The unit typically draws power via the USB bus from the connected computers, though an optional external power adapter may be required if peripherals draw high current or if the USB ports on the PCs cannot supply sufficient power.
