ATEN Altusen KVM on the Net KN2108 - Manual (Page 30)

Two Stage Installation
To control even more computers, up to 8 or 16 KH88 units can be cascaded
from the KVM ports of the KN2108 or KN2116. As many as 64 (KN2108)
or 128 (KN2116) computers can be controlled in a complete two stage
installation. The cascaded KH88s that connect back to the KN2108 /
KN2116 (First Stage) unit are considered Second Stage units.
Note: The installation cannot be cascaded beyond the second stage.
To set up a two stage installation, refer to the diagram on p. 19, and do the
following:
1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up,
including all preexisting devices on the installation, have been turned off.
2. Use Cat 5 cable to connect any available KVM Port on the First Stage
unit (the KN2108 / KN2116) to a PS/2 style KVM adapter cable (as
described in the Cables section, p. 5)
3. Plug the adapter cable’s KVM connectors to the Keyboard, Video, and
Mouse Console ports of the Second Stage unit.
Note: The distance between the Second Stage unit and the KN2108 /
KN2116 must not exceed 20m.
4. Use KVM cable sets (as described in the Cables section of the KH88’s
User Manual), to connect any available KVM port on the Second Stage
unit to the Keyboard, Video, and Mouse ports of the computer you are
installing.
5. Plug the power cord that came with the KH88 package into the KH88’s
Power Socket, and then into an AC power source.
6. Repeat these steps for any other Second Stage units you wish to connect.
