Use a KVM cable kit (described in the 3. Cables section, page 2) to connect the keyboard,
video and mouse ports of a computer to any available port on the KVM switch. The

(10 m).
Repeat the above steps for any additional KVM switches you wish to add to the chain.

Plug in the power adapter for the first station. Wait a few seconds to allow the unit to a.
determine its Station ID.
Plug in the power adapters for each subsequent station in the installation in turn (ie.

second station, then third station, etc.). Each KVM switch has an LED display on its
front panel to indicate its Station ID (the Station ID for the first station is 01, the ID
for the second station is 02, the ID for the third station is 03, etc.).
In each case, wait for the Station ID to be displayed on the Station ID LED before
plugging in the next station.
The B022-U16 KVM Switch can be cascaded off of a B020-008-17-IP or B020-016-17-IP
Console KVM Switch to expand the number of connected computers. Before you can start
a cascaded installation, you must upgrade the B022-U16 firmware to be cascade

details.) For cascaded installation details, see the owner’s manual of the B020-008-17-IP or
