Network Administration

Once the KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932’s network settings have been configured from a local console (see Network Configuration, page 29), for convenience, administrative tasks can be performed remotely using a web browser over the internet.

It is not necessary to connect cascaded switches to the network. Remote (over the network) administration of cascaded switches are managed through the of the first level switch.

Topology Considerations

The use of RJ-45 KVM port connectors, combined with Auto Signal Compensation (ASC), allow signals to travel up to 300 meters (1000 feet) and still maintain reliability and high video resolution. This allows the KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 installation to take advantage of the internal Cat 5e and Cat 6 wiring built-in to most modern commercial buildings.

Since the data signals are not transmitted in packets, the transmission cannot go through network hubs or switches. Passive components such as patch panels, keystone jacks, patch cables, etc. can be used to channel the traffic, instead.
