Network Installation

You can configure most KM0832 settings from within a Web browser. To do so, you need to install the KM0832 on the local network.

To install the KM0832 on the local network, plug a Cat 5 patch cable from your Ethernet network into the CONFIGURATION port on the rear panel of the KM0832.

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 KM0832 installation to take advantage of the internal Cat 5e and Cat 6 wiring built-in to most modern commercial buildings.

Note: Although the KM0832 supports legacy Cat 5 wiring, the performance and video quality may degrade over longer distances. We strongly recommend that you use Cat 5 shielded twisted pair (STP) cable.

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.
