Tripp Lite B022-016 Single-Station Installations, Multiple Station Daisy-Chained Installation

Installation

Ensure that the power to all the devices you will be connecting is turned off. To prevent equipment damage caused by a ground potential difference, ensure that all devices on the installation are properly grounded.

Single-Station Installations:

A single-stage installation does not have any KVMs daisy-chained down from the first unit. To set up a sin- gle-stage installation, do the following:

1.Use the correct Tripp Lite KVM cable kits (as described in the Cables page 4), to connect a computer’s Keyboard, Video and Mouse ports to any available port on the KVM switch.

2.On a B022-016 KVM, connect the Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor cables to the console ports on the KVM.

3.Plug the power adapter cable into the KVM’s power jack, then plug the power adapter plug into a UPS, surge or other AC power source.

4.Turn on the power to the computers.

Multiple Station (Daisy-Chained) Installation

To control even more computers, up to 31 B022-016 KVM

Switches can be daisy-chained down from the First Station.

Note: As many as 512 computers can be controlled from the unit’s integrat-	B020-016 (rear)
ed console in a complete installation. Tables showing the relation between
the number of computers and the number of KVMs needed to control them
are provided in section A1in the Appendix.

To set up a daisy-chained installation:

1.Ensure that power to all the devices to be connected has been turned off.

2.Use a daisy-chain cable (described in Cables, page 4) to connect the Chain Out port of the parent unit to the Chain In port of the child unit.

3.Use a KVM cable kit (described in Cables, page 4) to connect the Keyboard, Video and Mouse ports of a computer to any available port on the KVM switch.

4.Repeat the above steps for any additional B022-016 KVM Switch you wish to add to the chain.

5.Power up the installation according to the following procedure:

a.Plug in the power adapter for the First Station. Wait a few seconds to allow the unit to determine its Station ID.

b. Plug in the power adapters for each subsequent Station in the installation in turn (ie. Second Station, then Third Station, etc.). Each B022-016 KVM Switch has an LED display on its front panel to indicate its Station ID (the Station ID for the First Station is 01, the ID for the Second Station is 02, the ID for the Third Station is 03, etc.).

In each case, wait for the Station ID to be displayed on the Station ID LED before plugging in the next Station.

c. After all the Stations are up, power on the computers.
