Cascaded Installation
1. Attach all slaves consecutively to the master switch.
a. Perform steps 1 and 2 under INSTALLATION on page 4 for each slave unit.
b. Configure each switch as per the tables above under CONFIGURATION before proceeding.
c.
With a VEXT-xx-MM cable, connect slave #1 monitor port to master’s VIDEO 1 port.
d. With a VVKINT-xx-MM or (2) VKEXT-xx-MMs, connect slave #1’s PS/2 DEVICES ports to the
master’s CPU1 KEYBOARD and MOUSE ports.
e. Repeat steps c and d for each additional slave unit, keeping in mind that each slave will connect to the next available
master’s port (i.e. slave #2 to master’s VIDEO 2 and CPU 2 KEYBOARD and MOUSE, etc.). See Fig. 6 below.
Figure 6- Cable connections for cascading
About Table 2:
These switch settings are used by the slave(s) to
establish its identity (i.e. location in the group) to
the master.
On a master, the same switches are used to
configure the master for how many slaves are
attached to it.
