Hardware Setup
Overview
For convenience and flexibility, the KM0532 / KM0932’s design utilizes
console modules that act as signal translation intermediaries between the KVM
consoles and the KVM switch. This allows PS/2 and USB interface consoles to
coexist on the same installation.
The design also uses KVM adapter cables, that serve as intermediaries between
the KVM switch and the computers, and provides the basis for multiplatform
support:
A separate console module is required for each KVM console; likewise, a
separate KVM adapter cable is required for each computer. For a listing of
compatible console modules, see Consoles, page 4. For a listing of compatible
KVM adapter cables, see Cables, page 5.
As a cost-saving feature, KM0032 switches, can be daisy chained down from
a KM0532 or KM0932. Since devices connected to them are accessed through
one of the KM0532 or KM0932 consoles, they don’t require a console of their
own.
