See “Installing the AlterPath KVM Expander” on page 119 for background
information on the KVM Expander.

2. Connect one end of a CAT5 cable to a KVM port on the primary KVM/net.
3. Connect the other end of the CAT5 cable to the User A and or the User B
port on the secondary KVM Expander.
Note: To enable two concurrent KVM connections to ports on the KVM Expander,
connect two CAT5 cables to two ports on the KVM/net. Connect one CAT5
cable to the User A port and the other CAT5 cable to the User B port on the
KVM Expander.
