If you connect a more distant computer or
terminal to this RS-232 serial port, you’ll be able
to send switching commands to the ServSwitch
from a secondary location. You would also
connect a computer to this port to upgrade the
Switch’s firmware. Refer to Section 4.4.
RJ-12 FRS-232
Connect the shared monitor, keyboard, and
mouse to this port using an “MKM Adapter
Cable.” At the ServSwitch end, this cable has a
DB25 male connector; at the other ends, it has
appropriate connectors to plug into your
monitor, keyboard, and mouse cables. Only one
MKM Adapter Cable is needed. See Section 2.5.

For each submaster you plan to connect, you
must have an Expansion Cable; you must have
an Adapter Cable for each CPU you plan to
connect. See Section 2.5.
NOTE
The mini-model chassis has 4 CPU N
connector slots. The full-size chassis
has 16 of these slots. The extra
connector slots in the chassis of the
2-port mini and the 4-, 8-, and 12-port
full-size models are left blank, but are
protected by material mounted inside
the chassis.
