Use Cat 5 cable to connect the Link port of the console module to one of
the user ports on the KM0832's rear panel.
(Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all KVM consoles that you wish to connect. Up
to 8 KVM consoles may be connected in this fashion.)
Note: The distance between any console module and any KVM adapter
cable, or the first-level and last-level KVM switches, cannot exceed
300m (1000').
3. Use Cat 5 cable to connect up to eight KVM ports on the first-level KVM
switch to the user ports on the second-level KVM switch. (The number of
KVM consoles on the first-level KM0832 that can simultaneously access
the cascaded KVM switch is limited by the number of connections
between the parent and child KVM switches.)
(Repeat step 3 for each second-level KVM switch that you wish to
cascade. If you wish to cascade any third-level KVM switches, follow the
instructions in step 3 when cascading them from the second-level KVM
switches.)
Note: The maximum distance between any two KM0832 cannot exceed
150m.
4. If you wish to cascade Matrix Plus KVM adapter cables, see Cascading
Matrix Plus KVM Adapter Cables, page 27. If you wish to cascade KVM
switches other than the KM0832, see Cascading Other KVM Switches,
page 29.
5. Use Cat 5 cable to connect KVM adapter cables to any available KVM
ports; plug the connectors on the KVM adapter cables into the keyboard,
video, and mouse ports of the computers you wish to install.
6. Plug the provided power cable into the power socket on the first-level
KM0832; connect the power cable to an AC mains power source with
appropriate voltage for the KM0832, then turn on the KM0832.
7. Wait one minute, and then repeat step 6 for each second-level KM0832.
8. Wait one minute, and then repeat step 6 for each third-level KM0832.
9. Plug the power adapters supplied with the console modules into an
appropriate AC mains power source, and then plug the power adapter
cables into the power jacks on the rear of the console modules.
10. Turn on the power to all the computers.
