Connection

Before connecting a device (a computer or a Slave) to the Master under power, you must turn off the device. The Master must have equal or more 'PC x' ports than that of the Slave, i.e., if KNV108 is the master, KNV108 and KNV104 can be Slaves, but KNV116D can not.

The ports labeled "PC 1"~”PC 8” can be connected to either a computer or a Slave's CONSOLE port, as shown in figure 10. The ports “PC A"~”PC H” can only be connected to a computer. A power adapter with DC 9V/500mA output rating must be connected to the Master.

Figure 10: Slave console connection

The maximum number of computers controlled by a master/slave configuration with all KNV104s is 16 with 4 Slaves and each Slave connects to 4 computers, see figure 11. For an all KNV108s configuration, the number is 64 with 8 Slaves and each Slave connects to 8 computers, see figure 12. For an all KNV116D configuration, the number is 136, see figure 13. The Master KNV116D connects to 8 Slaves and 8 computers, and each Slave connects to 16 computers.
