Chapter 2. Installation
Single Stage Installation
In a single stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches cascaded or daisy chained 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 KM0832.
Use Cat 5 cable to connect the Link port of the console module to one of the user ports on the KM0832's rear panel.
(Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all consoles that you wish to connect. Up to 8 consoles may be connected in this fashion.)
Note: 1. The distance between any console module and any KVM adapter cable must not exceed 300m (1000').
2.We strongly recommend that you use Cat 5 shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.
3.Connect the KVM adapter 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 KM0832.
Use Cat 5 cable to connect a compatible KVM adapter cable to any available KVM port on the KM0832.
(Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all computers that you wish to connect. Up to 32 computers may be connected in this fashion.)
5.After all your computers have been cabled up, plug the female end of the power cord into the KM0832's power socket; plug the male end into an AC mains power source.
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 KM0832.
8.Turn on the power to the computers.
