Configurations
The StreamLine KVM switch is available in 8 and 16 port models to
support a variety of requirements. For applications with a large number of
computers, StreamLine KVM switches can be cascaded in a
master/slave configuration.
Single StreamLine KVM Switch Configuration
Combined with a StreamLine Console, the StreamLine KVM switch can
be connected to multiple computers with keyboard, mouse and monitor
cables as shown in figure 1.

Configuration
You can connect a second level of one or more StreamLine KVM
switches to "PC 1"~”PC 8” ports of a Master unit. Cascade configuration
expands system ability allowing you to select
computers connected to the Master or Slaves. There is only one Master
that connects to the StreamLine Console directly operated by a user.
Once connected, StreamLine KVM switches automatically configure
themselves to either Master or Slave. Slaves of different StreamLine
KVM switch models can be mixed in cascade configuration as shown in
figure 2. Note: Master must have equal or more PC ports than that of
Slaves, i.e., if an 8 port is a master, another 8 port can be a Slave, but not
a 16 port.
