2.4 Multiple Station (Daisy-Chained) Installation

be daisy-chained down from the first station.
Note: As many as 512 computers can be controlled from
the unit’s integrated console in a complete installation.
To set up a daisy-chained
installation:
Ensure that power to all the devices to be 1.

in a daisy-chain must not exceed 49 ft (15
m). The distance between the first KVM
switch and the last KVM switch in a daisy-
