- 16/32 Port Modular MatrixTM KVM Switch User Manual

Before you Begin

Single Stage Installation

In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional KVM switches daisy

chained or cascaded down from the first unit. To set up a single stage

installation, refer to the diagram on p. 16 (the numbers in the diagram

correspond with the numbers of the instruction steps), and do the following:

1. Connnect the Console to the Console Module

Plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into their respective ports on the

Console Module. Each port is marked with an icon to indicate itself.

Note: The diagram shows the rear panel of both the KA9220 (PS/2 port)

and KA9720 (USB port) modules.

2. Connect the Console Module to the KM0216 / KM0432

Use Cat. 5 cable to connect the Link port of the module to one of the

Console ports on the KM0216 or KM0432’s rear panel. Up to two or four

consoles can be connected.

Note: The distance between the Console Module and the KM0432 must

not exceed 150m (500’).

(Repeat Steps 1 and 2 for any other consoles you wish to connect.)

1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up

have been turned off. You must unplug the power cords of any

computers that have the Keyboard Power On function.

2. To prevent damage to your installation, make sure that all devices

on the installation are properly grounded.
