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; likewise, a separate

KVM adapter cable is required for each computer. The console modules and

KVM adapter cables are listed in the Cables section on page 5. Consult your

dealer to find out which console modules and KVM adapter cables best fit your

needs.

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.
