Network Installation
You can configure most KM0832 settings from within a Web browser. To do
so, you need to install the KM0832 on the local network.
To install the KM0832 on the local network:
Connect one end of a Cat 5 cable to the Ethernet and the other end to the
CONFIGURATION port on the rear panel of the KM0832.
Note: It is not necessary to connect cascaded KVM switches to the Ethernet.
Cascaded KVM switches are managed through the KM0832
Administrator Utility of the first-level KVM switch.
Topology Considerations
The use of RJ-45 KVM port connectors, combined with Auto Signal
Compensation (ASC), allow signals to travel up to 300 meters (1000 feet) and
still maintain reliability and high video resolution. This allows the KM0832
installation to take advantage of the internal Cat 5e and Cat 6 wiring built-in to
most modern commercial buildings.
Since the data signals are not transmitted in packets, the transmission cannot
go through network hubs or switches. Passive components such as patch
panels, keystone jacks, patch cables, etc. can be used to channel the traffic,
instead.
