Cascading Other KVM Switches
When cascading KVM switches other than the KM0832, a KVM adapter cable
is required. The KVM adapter cable converts the KVM port connector used by
the KM0832 to connectors appropriate for the KVM switch that you are
installing. Refer to the table on page 5 that lists the KVM adapter cables and
the platforms that they support.
Note: Only 1 non-KM0832 KVM switch can be cascaded from each KVM
port, regardless of its position in the installation. After cascading a non-
KM0832 KVM switch, you cannot cascade anymore KVM switches
from that KVM port.
To cascade a KVM switch other than the KM0832:
1. Use a Cat 5 cable to connect a KVM port on the KM0832 to the KVM
adapter cable.
2. Connect the cables on the KVM adapter cable to the console ports on the
KVM switch you are installing.
3. If you have not already done so, using KVM cables, connect the
computer(s) to the KVM switch.
