Chapter 2. Installation
Single Stage Installation
In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches daisy chained or cascaded down from the first station. To set up a single stage installation, refer to the diagram on page 18 (the numbers in the diagrams correspond to the numbered steps) and do the following:
1.Connect the console to the console module.
Plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into their respective ports on the console module. Each port is marked with an identifying icon.
2.Connect the console module to the KM0216 / KM0432.
Use a Cat 5 patch cable to connect the Link port of the console module to one of the user ports on the KM0216 / KM0432's rear panel.
Note: 1. The distance between the console module and the KM0216 / KM0432 must not exceed 150m (500').
2.We strongly recommend that you use Category 5 shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.
(Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for all consoles that you wish to connect.)
3.Connect the KVM adapter cable to the computer.
Plug the connectors on the KVM adapter cable into the appropriate ports on the computer you are installing.
4.Connect the KVM adapter cable to the KM0216 / KM0432.
Use a Cat 5 patch cable to connect a compatible KVM adapter cable to any available KVM port on the KM0216 / KM0432.
Note: The distance between the KVM adapter cable and the KM0216 / KM0432 must not exceed 150m (500').
(Repeat Steps 3 and 4 for all computers that you wish to connect.)
5.After all your computers have been cabled up, plug the female end of the power cord into the KM0216 / KM0432's power socket; plug the male end into an AC mains power source appropriate for the switch.
6.Connect the power adapter to the console module and to an AC mains power source appropriate for the device.
7.Turn on the power to the KM0216 / KM0432.
8.Turn on the power to the computers.
