In a single stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches daisy chained down from the KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai. To set up a single stage installation, refer to the installation diagrams starting on page 15. The numbers in the diagrams correspond with the numbers of the instruction steps, below:
1.Ground the KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai by connecting one end of a grounding wire to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit from surges or static electricity.
2.Plug the the console keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the unit’s console ports. Ports are color coded and marked with icons for easy identification.
Note: You can use any combination of keyboard and mouse connections.
3.If you are using a laptop USB console to control the KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai locally, use the laptop USB cable included in the package to connect the laptop to the KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai’s Laptop port, located on the unit’s front panel.
4.Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect any available KVM port to a KVM adapter cable that is appropriate for the computer you are installing (see KVM Adapter Cables, page 6 for details).
Note: To support a resolution of 1280x1024@75Hz, the recommended maximum distance between the unit and the KVM adapter cable is 50 meters; to support a resolution of 1600x1200@60Hz, the recommended maximum distance is 40 meters.
5.Connect the KVM adapter cable to the computer.
Plug the connectors on the KVM adapter cable into the appropriate ports of the computer you are installing. (See KVM Adapter Cable Installation Diagrams, page 16 for connection examples.)
6.Plug the LAN or WAN cable into the KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai’s LAN port.
7.Plug the female end of the power cord into the KH1508Ai / KH1516Ai's power socket; plug the male end into an AC power source.
