Two Stage Installation
To control and monitor more computers, up to eight additional KH98 units can
be cascaded from the KVM ports of the First Stage unit. The cascaded KH98
units that connect back to the First Stage unit are considered Second Stage
units.
As many as 64 computers can be controlled in a complete two stage
installation. A table showing the relation between the number of computers and
the number of KH98 units needed to control them is provided on page 51.
Note: 1. Mixing different KVM switch models on the same installation can
cause problems with OSD port switching. We strongly recommend
that all cascaded units be the same model as the First Stage unit.
2. If you are adding this switch into an already existing KH98
configuration, be sure to make it the First Stage unit. Otherwise, you
won't get the benefit of its improved OSD features and functions.
To set up a Two Stage installation, do the following:
1. Complete a Single Stage installation. See page 9 for details.
2. Turn off the power to all the devices you will be connecting up, including
all devices on the Single Stage installation.
3. Use a KVM cable set (described in the Cables section, page 3), to connect
any available KVM Port on the First Stage unit to the Console Port
connectors of the Second Stage unit.
