Single Level Installation
In a single level installation, there are no additional KVM switches cascaded
or daisy chained down from the first-level KVM switch. To set up a single-
level installation, refer to the diagram on page 21 (the numbers in the diagrams
correspond to the numbered steps) and do the following:
1. Connect the KVM console to the console module.
Plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into their respective ports on the
console module. Each port is marked with an identifying icon.
2. Connect the console module to the KM0832.
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 must not exceed 300m (1000').
3. Connect the KVM adapter cable to the computer.
Plug the connectors on the KVM adapter cable into the appropriate ports
on the computer you are installing.
4. Connect the KVM adapter cable to the KM0832.
Use Cat 5 cable to connect a compatible KVM adapter cable to any
available KVM port on the KM0832.
(Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all computers that you wish to connect. Up to 32
computers may be connected in this fashion.)

power cord into the KM0832's power socket; plug the male end into an AC
mains power source.

power source appropriate for the device.
