Hardware Setup
Overview
For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing the PS/2 and USB
interfaces, as well as multiple platforms, the KVM Over the NET
TM
switch
design utilizes KVM Adapter Cables, that serve as intermediaries between the
switch and the connected devices (refer to the installation diagram on p. 16).
A separate KVM Adapter Cable is required for each server or device
connection. The model numbers of the Adapter Modules are given in the KVM
Adapter Cables section, page 8.
