CHAPTER 4: Checklist of System Components
4.2.2.B Switches with DB25 Composite User Ports
The user ports of some ServSwitch family KVM switches are specially pinned DB25 connectors that function as composite (all-in-one) interfaces. At the time of this writing, some of the important ServSwitch family models in this category are:
•ServSwitch™
•ServSwitch™ Ultra
•Matrix ServSwitch™
•ServSwitch™ Affinity
•ServShare™
You’ll need a ServSwitch-to-ServSwitch Expansion Cable (product code EHN284) to attach this type of KVM-switch user port to the Local Unit’s CPU port.
4.2.2.C ServSwitch Multi (HD62 Composite User Ports)
The user ports on User Cards installed in the ServSwitch Multi are HD62 female connectors that function as composite (all-in-one) interfaces. To attach one of these ports to the CPU port of a Local Unit, first you’ll need to connect the three- to-one KVM-extension cable included with the Extender to the DB25 connector of the Local Unit’s CPU port. (If you’re doing serial and/or audio extension through a KVM/Serial/Audio model, you’ll also need to connect the DB9 male-to-female serial-extension cable and/or the 3.5-mm male-to-male audio-extension cables included with the Extender to the matching connectors of the Local Unit’s CPU port.)
Once you have one end of the included cable(s) connected to the Local Unit, run a many-to-one ServSwitch Multi User Cable such as product code KV2505 (for just KVM extension) or KV2515 (for KVM, serial, and/or audio extension) from the other ends of the included cable(s) to the user port of the ServSwitch Multi. Refer to Section 6.2.3.B for a description of how this cabling all fits together.
