Instruction manual

Daisy Chaining

To control even more computers, up to 31 additional ALTUSEN KVM

switches can be daisy chained down from the KL0116.

Note: KH0116 switches are used for daisy chaining, since there is no need for

consoles on the chained switches. The KH0116 is similar to the

KL0116, except that it comes in a standard housing without the

slide-out console. Tables showing the relation between the number of

computers and the number of switches needed to control them are

provided on p. 47.

To set up a daisy chained installation, do the following:

1. Turn off the power to all the devices you will be connecting to the

installation.

2. Use a daisy chain cable set (described in the Cables section, p. 5), to

connect the KL0116’s Daisy Chain Portto the first KH0116’s Chain In port.

Note: 1. The KL0116 is referred to as the First Station; the first KH0116

in the chain is the Second Station, etc.

2. In a daisy chained installation, a switch is the child of the switch

above it, and the parent of the switch below.
