Hardware Setup
Overview
For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing the PS/2 and USB
interfaces, as well as multiple platforms, the KN2108 / KN2116's design
utilizes KVM Adapter Cables, that serve as intermediaries between the switch
and the connected devices (refer to the KVM Adapter Installation Diagrams,
page 21).
A separate KVM Adapter Cable is required for each computer or device
connection. The model numbers of the Adapter Modules are given in the KVM
Adapter Cables (CPU Modules) section, page 5.
