Caution
This switch device and the hosts should use a three-line type power
cable, with the ground line on the power cable grounded.
If you use a two-line plug adapter be sure to attach the ground wire to a
grounded object.
2.2 When using two levels (using cascaded connections)
By using cascaded connections (maximum 1 master and 8 slaves) it is possible to hook up
a maximum of 64 hosts.
1) Connect the hosts one through eight to the second level of switch devices (called
slaves), in the same way as for the [first level].
2) Next, use the special cables to attach the [keyboard+mouse+monitor] connector of the
first level switch device (called master) to the [Keyboard], [Mouse], and [CONSOLE]
connectors on the console ports of the second level slave switch devices.
3) To increase the number of slaves, connect them in the same way as described in steps
1 and 2 above. Do not connect slaves beyond the second level. Three level connection
does not work.
3. After each host and switching device have been connected, connect the keyboard, mo
use, and monitor to the [CONSOLE] connectors on the (master) switch device.
4. Attach switch device's AC power cable and then plug it into an electric outlet.
5. After confirming that the connections have been made correctly, start up the attached hosts.
6. Acquire Plug-n-Play data for the monitor. When a monitor is first attached to the (master)
switch device, its Plug-n-Play data (EDID data) needs to be aquired by the switch device.
Re-start the host to be able to use the monitor with the aquired environment.
Open the OSD via the [Set Method] keyboard, then go to EDID using NEXT PAGE, and
press the Enter key.
7. Select each port in turn and confirm the attached host is started up and using the co
rrect settings.
8. If the keyboard, mouse, or monitor are not set correctly, adjust the settings and restart the
system.
