Chapter 2. Installation

Daisy Chaining

Up to 7 additional KM0432 stations can be daisy chained to the KM0832 master station. The KM0832 is capable of supporting eight independent consoles, while each KM0432 is capable of supporting four independent consoles. The KM0832 must occupy the master (first) position in a daisy chained installation, while the KM0432 must be used as the slave station(s).

In a complete daisy chained installation, the eight consoles that belong to the KM0832 can access and control all of the computers on the installation. When accessing the daisy chained KM0432 switches, the KM0832 consoles use the KM0432 OSD to access the computers connected to the daisy chained KM0432 switches. The four consoles belonging to each slave switch (KM0432) only control the computers (up to 32) connected to their switch.

Note: If the daisy chain feature is not operative on your unit, you will need a newer version of the firmware. Contact your dealer for details.
