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.
