Two Stage Installation

To control up to 64 PCs through the 8-Station KVM Switch, you will need to connect eight additional 8-Station KVM Switches to your first 8-Station KVM Switch. This is the Two Stage Installation process. It will create 64 open ports for controlling PCs. A table showing the relation between the number of com- puters and the number of 8-Station KVM Switches needed to control them is provided in the Appendix.

NOTE: Daisy-chaining different models of KVM Switches can cause problems with Hotkey and OSD port switching. To prevent this, only use ProConnect® 8-Station KVM Switches when daisy-chaining them together.

This is the Three Stage Installation process. It will create 512 open ports for controlling PCs. A table showing the relation between the number of computers and the number of 8- Station KVM Switches needed to control them is provided in the Appendix.
