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 .
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.
3. Connect the KM0216 / KM0432 to the KVM Adapter Cable Use Cat. 5 cable to connect any available CPU Port to a KVM adapter cable that is appropriate for the computer you are installing (see the table on p. 4 for details). Note: The distance between the KM0216 / KM0432 and the KVM Adapter Cable must not exceed 150m (500’).

Multilevel Installations The number of computers that can be added to your installation can be greatly expanded by performing a multilevel installation.
Daisy Chaining Up to 7 additional KM0216 / KM0432 units can be daisy chained together; each capable of supporting four independent consoles. The first KM0216 / KM0432 is considered the Master unit; the daisy chained KM0216 / KM0432s are consid er ed Slaves .
7. Power up the installatio n acco rdin g to th e follo wing proced ure: a. Switch on the power for the First Station. Wait for the unit to ascertain its Station ID and display it on the Station ID LED. (The Station ID for the First Stage unit is 01 , the ID for the Second Stag e unit is 02 , the ID for the Third Stage unit is 03 , etc.
Cascading Another way of adding capacity is to cascade additional KVM switches from the KM0216 / KM0432’s CPU ports. Up to 16 (KM0216) or 32 (KM0432) additional switches can be cascaded. Unlike daisy chaining, however, cascading does not increase the number of consoles that can be used to control the computers.
3 . Use KVM cable sets (as described in the Cables section of the Second Stage unit’s User Manual), to connect any available CPU port on the Second Stage unit to the Keyboard, Video, and Mouse ports of the computer you are installing. 4. Plug the Second Stage unit’s power cord into the unit’s Power Socket; then plug it into an AC source.
Physical Interface Cascading: Physical Interface Cascading refers to cascading to a second stage KVM switch (such as the Altusen KH0116) that doesn’t utilize the same protocol as the first stage KM0216 / KM0432, but uses the same physical interface (PS/2 or USB ports, for example).
To set up a Physical Interface Cascade, refer to the installation diagram on p. 25, and do the following: 1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up has been turned off.

Physical Interface Expansion To set up a daisy chained/cascaded installation under Physical Interface Expansion, refer to the diagram below, and do the following: 1.
Topology Considerations The use of RJ-45 CPU connecto rs , co mbin ed with Auto Sig n al Co mpens atio n (ASC), allow signals to travel up to 500 feet (150 meters) and still maintain reliability and high video resolution.
Powering Off and Restarting Powering off the KM0216 / KM0432 does not affect the computers attached to it. When you restart the KM0216 / KM0432, you will regain control immediately. To replace a KM0216 / KM0432, simply power it down; unplug the cables; plug them into the new unit; and power the new unit on.
Port ID Numbering Each CPU port on a KM0216 / KM0432 installation is assigned a unique Port ID. You can access and control any computer on the installation by specifying the Port ID of the port that it is connected to . Dep endin g on wher e th e computer is on the installation, its Port ID will have either two or three parts.
Cascaded Physical Interface Installations: Under Physical Interface Expansion, KH0116s are cascaded down from the KM0216 / KM0432. Since the OSD protocols are different, there are separate OSDs for each. When you invoke the OSD (see p. 35), the KM0216 / KM0432 OSD screen comes up first.
The Administrator’s power is limited to only that segment of the installation that the KM0216 / KM0432 he is logged in on controls. He can assign and change passwords and access rights for all operators on his segment. Both Super Administrat or and Administrator ha ve full User rights.
