Multi Chassis Operation
Multi chassis operation involves independent access only.
Both users can simultaneously and independently access any computer attached to the
base KVM Switch unit. Similarly, independent access is possible across expansion
units as long as each user is accessing a different expansion unit.
For example, in the conguration below, two users can access nine computers through
three KVM Switch units.
Independent access options
1. Both users can independently access the three computers attached to the base unit at
any time.
2. Both users can independently access any computer in a different Switch unit at
any time.
If one user is working on channel A of the base unit, the other user can be
independently using computers B or C of the base unit, or any computer attached to
units 2 or 3.
If one user is working on channel B of unit 2, the other user can be independently using
any computer attached to the base unit or unit 3. This user cannot independently access
any computer attached to unit 2 until the rst user connects to a computer attached to a
different Switch unit.
