Up to 7 KM0032 Expansion KVM Switches can be daisy chained from the first level KM0532 /
KM0932.
The KM0932 is capable of supporting nine independent KVM consoles, while the KM0532 is
capable of supporting 5 independent KVM consoles. In a complete daisy chained installation, the
KVM consoles that belong to the KM0532 / KM0932 can access and control all of the computers
on the installation.
To set up a daisy chained installation, refer to the diagram and do the following:
1. Use a daisy chain cable set to connect the CHAIN OUT port of the parent KM0532 / KM0932
to the CHAIN IN port of the first KM0032.
Note: 1. The maximum distance between any two switches cannot exceed 10 m.
2. The maximum distance between the KM0532 / KM0932 and the last KM0032 in the
chain cannot exceed 50 m.
2. Follow the instructions given for single level installation to connect computers, LAN, power
cords, etc.
3. For any other KM0032 switches you want to add to the chain, use a daisy chain to connect the
Chain Out port of the parent switch to the Chain In port of the child switch.
4. Power on the installation according to the following procedure:
a) Power on the first level (KM0532 or KM0932) switch.
b) Power on each switch in the chain in turn (second station, then third station, etc.). In each
case, wait for the station position to be ascertained and displayed on the Station ID LED
before powering on the next station. (The Station ID for the first KM0032 is 01, the Station
ID for the second level KM0032 is 02, etc.)
c) After all the KVM switches are powered on, power on the computers.
