Single Station Installation
In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches cascaded
down from the KN2108 / KN2116. To set up a single stage installation, refer
to the installation diagrams starting on page 20 (the numbers in the diagram
correspond with the numbers of the instruction steps), and do the following:
1. Plug your Local Console’s keyboard, mouse, and monitor into the unit’s
Console Ports.
Note: The distance between the console and the KN2108 / KN2116 must
not exceed 20m.
2. Use Cat. 5 cable to connect any available KVM port to a KVM Adapter
Cable that is appropriate for the computer you are installing (see the table
on page 5 for details).
Note: The length of Cat 5 cable that links the KN2108 / KN2116 to the
KVM Adapter Cable must not exceed 40m.
3. Connect the KVM Adapter Cable to the computer.
Plug the connectors on the KVM Adapter Cable into the appropriate ports
of the computer you are installing. See KVM Adapter Installation
Diagrams, page 21 for connection examples.
4. Plug the cable from the LAN or WAN into the KN2108 / KN2116's RJ-45
socket.
5. Plug the female end of the power cord into the KN2108 / KN2116's Power
Socket; plug the male end into an AC power source.
6. Turn on the power to the KN2108 / KN2116.
After the KN2108 / KN2116 is powered up, you can turn on the computers.
