Chapter 2
Installation
Overview
For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing the PS/2 and USB interfaces, the KM0216 / KM0432's design utilizes console modules that act as signal translation intermediaries between the consoles and the switch, and KVM adapter cables, that serve as intermediaries between the switch and the computers:

A separate console module is required for each console; likewise, a separate KVM adapter cable is required for each computer. The console modules and KVM adapter cables are listed in the Cables section on page 5. Consult your dealer to find out which console modules and KVM adapter cables best fit your needs.
Note: The installation diagrams that follow use a KM0432 for the examples. Since the KM0216 installation is essentially the same as that of the KM0432 (except for having fewer ports), if you are setting up a KM0216 installation, you can simply follow the KM0432 diagrams.
