Chapter 2. Installation

To set up a daisy-chained installation, refer to the diagram on page 32 and do
the following:
1. Use a daisy-chain cable set (described in Cables, page 5) to connect the
CHAIN OUT port of the first-level KM0832 to the CHAIN IN port of the
slave KM0432 or KM0216 (first station out to second station in, second
station out to third station in, etc.).
Note: 1. When daisy chained with the KM0432 or KM0216, the KM0832
must occupy the first-level (master) position, while the KM0432
or KM0216 must be used as the slave station(s).
2. The maximum distance between any two KM0432 or KM0216
cannot exceed 10m.
3. The maximum distance between the first-level KM0832 and the
last KM0432 or KM0216 in the daisy chain cannot exceed 20m.
2. If you wish to install any console modules or KVM adapter cables on the
KM0432 or KM0216, follow the procedures described in Single Level
Installation, page 20.
(Repeat the above steps for any additional KM0432 or KM0216 you wish
to add to the chain.)
3. Plug the power cords into an AC mains power source and into the power
sockets on the KM0832 and KM0432 or KM0216.
4. Power on the installation according to the following procedure:
a) Power on the first-level KVM switch (KM0832). Wait one minute for
the KVM switch to ascertain its position. (The KM0832 does not have a
station ID because it always occupies the first station position.)
b) Power on each KVM switch on the installation in turn (second station,
then third station, etc.). In each case, wait for the position to be
ascertained and displayed on the current station ID before powering on
the next station. (The ID for the second-level KVM switch is 02, the ID
for the third-level KVM switch is 03, etc.).
c) After all the KVM switches are powered on, power on the computers.
