KM0832 User Manual

Daisy-chained Installations

The port numbers that compose the port ID in daisy-chained installations are displayed in the following order from left to right:

1.The port ID for daisy-chained KVM switches begins with “1”.

2.The position of the KM0432 or KM0216 Matrix KVM Switch in the daisy-chain. You can determine the position of the KM0432 or KM0216 in the daisy-chain by subtracting 1 from its station ID.

For example, the station ID of the first KM0432 or KM0216 in the daisy-chain is 2.

2 - 1 = 1

The KM0432 or KM0216’s position in the daisy-chain is 1.

The table below lists the KM0432 or KM0216’s station ID and its position in the daisy-chain.
