Press and release the Left Control (Ctrl) key then press and release the Escape (Esc) key within 2 seconds. A menu of the Servers will be displayed on the Console.
8 – Cascading switches The number of servers administered from the one Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse Console can be expanded to a maximum of 256 by cascading KVMs. Each port of the first or Master KVM can support a Slave KVM through a cascade cable. This effectively connects up to 8 or 16 servers – depending on Slave KVM connected - to the one port on the Master KVM.
9 - Important notes when Cascading Port numbering convention: The Slave ports are always counted first. That is, in a configuration where an 8 port Master has a 16 port Slave connected to both its CPU port 1 and port 2, the port numbering convention in the On Screen Display menus and for accessing the ports is as follows: Ports 1 to 16 CPU ports 1 to 16 of the Slave KVM connected to CPU port 1 of the Master KVM Ports 17 to 32 CPU ports 1 to 16 of the Slave KVM connected to CPU port 2 of the Master KVM.
