- 16/32 Port Modular MatrixTM KVM Switch User Manual

Chapter 2.

Installation

Overview

For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing the PS/2 and USB

interfaces, the KM0216 / KM0432’s design utilizes Console Modules that act

as signal translation intermediaries between the consoles and the switch, and

KVM Adapter Cables, that serve as intermediaries between the switch and the

computers:

A separate console module is required for each console you connect. Likewise,

a separate KVM adapter cable is required for each computer connection. The

model numbers of the Console Modules required for each interface are given in

the Console Modules section on p. 10. The model numbers of the KVM adapter

cables are given in the Cables section on p. 4.

Note: The installation diagrams that follow use a KM0432 for the examples.

Since the KM0216 installation is essentially the same as that of the

KM0432 (except for having fewer ports), if you are setting up a

KM0216 installation, you can simply follow the KM0432 diagrams.
