KVM Switch KVM2132P, KVM2116P, KVM1116P User Manual 14
Three Level Installation and (1 or 2) Bus Configurations
In tiered installations, the number of bus connections between a parent and child KVM switch
determines the number of users that can simultaneously access the KVM ports of a child switch. A bus
connection is established by connecting a KVM port on the parent switch to a LAN port on the child
switch. The KVM switch (KVM2132P, KVM2116P) supports a maximum of two bus connections for
each tiered switch.
In a two-bus tiered configuration, two bus connections between every parent switch and child switch in
the installation are created so both KVM consoles on the first-level KVM switch can access the KVM
ports of any tiered switches at the same time. Console connectors of the child switches are inoperable.
In a one-bus tiered configuration only a single bus connection is created between a parent switch and a
child switch. Only one of the consoles connected to the parent switch has access to a child switch at any
time. The second console can still control and access the ports of the parent switch. Only one console of
each child switch is available to access the KVM ports on the same level or lower level switch. KVM
consoles connected to tiered switches cannot access the ports of a parent switch and can perform only
port switching and user profile changes. No other administrative functions can be executed.
