Installation

Overview

For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing the PS/2 and USB interfaces, the KM0832'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:

KA9120

KA9222/

KA9272/

KA9233

KA9130

KA9170

KA9131

KM0832

KA9140

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 4. Consult your dealer to find out which console modules and KVM adapter cables best fit your needs.
