Cascaded KVM Switch (Master/Slave) Configuration
A second level of Slave KVM Switches may connect to the Master unit
to expand system capacity allowing you to manage computers. There
is only one Master that connects to the PS/2 keyboard, mouse and
monitor directly operated by a user. Once connected, LevelOne
KVM Switches automatically configure themselves to either Master or
Slave. Slaves of different LevelOne KVM Switch models can be
mixed in cascade configuration as shown in figure 2.
Figure 2: A cascade configuration
Throughout this manual, Master is the KVM Switch that connects
directly to a PS/2 keyboard, mouse and monitor. Slave is a KVM
Switch that has its CONSOLE port connected to the Master's “PC x”
port. Slave only exists in cascade configuration.
