English Manual

Cascading / Daisy Chaining of multiple CPU Switches

You can integrate up to 8 CPU Switches in one KVM daisy chained installation. Using the CPU Switch P16 or P16XT, this gives a maximum of 128 attached computers.

Please note: If the daisy chain cable length over all CPU Switches exceeds 10m (30 feet) and picture quality deteriorates, a VGA amplifier such as the LINDY VGA Extender (LINDY No. 32386) can be used.

To connect an additional CPU Switch to the MASTER (or previous) CPU Switch use a standard (VGA + 2 x PS/2) 3-in-1 KVM cable, all connectors male.

Note: In a mixed P/PXT Series daisy chained/cascaded installation the MASTER CPU Switch must be a PXT model.

If you would like to daisy chain 4, 8 port and 16 port CPU Switches together, the MASTER CPU Switch must be a 16 port CPU Switch!

Step 1 - Connect the local console

Connect your keyboard, mouse and monitor to the console port (white coloured background) of the MASTER CPU Switch.

Step 2

Use one end of a 3-in-1 KVM cable to connect the daisy chain port of the MASTER/previous CPU Switch and the other end to the console port (white coloured background) of the next SLAVE CPU Switch.

Step 3 - Cascading

Repeat the previous step to daisy chain more CPU Switches. Each individual switch in the chain represents a different Bank. The MASTER switch is Bank 1 and each cascaded SLAVE follows on as Bank 2, 3, 4 etc. to a maximum of eight banks/switches.

Bank 1 (Master)

Bank 2

Bank 3...to a maximum of 8

Cascading CPU Switches

Note: If video quality deteriorates you can add a VGA amplifier such as the LINDY VGA Extender (No. 32386), between the fifth and the sixth CPU Switch to enhance the VGA signal.
