Cascading KM0532 / KM0932 Switches
Note: The firmware version of all cascaded KM0532 / KM0932s should
match the firmware version of the first level KM0532 / KM0932.
To cascade KM0532 / KM0932 switches refer to the installation diagram on
page 23 and do the following:
1. Connect the KVM console to the console module.
2. Connect the console module to the KM0532 / KM0932.
Note: The distance between any console module and any KVM adapter
cable, or between the first level and final level KVM switch, may
not exceed 300 m (1000').
3. Use Cat 5e cable to connect any KVM port on the parent switch to any of
the Console ports on the child switch.
Note: 1. The number of KVM consoles connected to the first level switch
that can simultaneously access the cascaded switch is limited by
the number of Console port connections between the parent and
child switches.
2. The distance between any console module and any KVM adapter
cable must not exceed 300 m (1000').
4. Repeat step 3 for each second level KVM switch that you wish to cascade.
5. Follow the instructions given for single level installation to connect
computers, power cords, etc. (see page 18).
Note: It is not necessary to connect cascaded switches to the network.
Remote (over the network) administration of cascaded switches are
managed through the first level switch.
6. To cascade third level KVM switches, follow the instructions in steps 3, 4,
and 5 when cascading them from the second level KVM switches.)

KM0932.
