SERVSWITCH™ BRAND CAT5 KVM MICRO EXTENDER
6.2.3.B Attaching a KVM Switch with Single Composite User-Port Connectors
If the KVM switch’s user ports are ServSwitch style DB25 connectors, run a
ServSwitch to ServSwitch Expansion Cable (product code EHN284) from one of
these connectors to the Local Unit’s DB25 female CPU-port KVM connector
, as
shown in Figure 6-3

Figure 6-3. Attaching a KVM switch with a single compatible user-port
connector to the Local Unit’s CPU port.
If the KVM switch’s user ports are some other type of composite connectors (as is
the case for the ServSwitch Multi), first plug a User Cable designed for the KVM
switch (see Section 4.2.2.C for ServSwitch Multi cable product codes) into one of
the switch’s user ports. Then plug the Extender’s included three-to-one KVM-
extension cable into the Local Unit’s DB25 female CPU-port KVM connector.
If your Local Unit is a KVM/Serial/Audio model and you want to do serial
extension, also plug the male end of the included DB9 male-to-female serial-
extension cable into the Local Unit’s matching DB9 female CPU-port serial
connector.
If your Local Unit is a KVM/Serial/Audio model and you want to do audio
extension, also plug one end of the included 3.5-mm male-to-male stereo audio-
extension cables into the Local Unit’s matching 3.5-mm female CPU-port audio
“In” and “Out” connectors.
Finally, connect the other ends of the Extender’s KVM-extension cable (and any
serial-extension or audio-extension cables) to the matching strands of the switch’s
User Cable as shown in Figure 6-4 on the next page.
