KVM08 has the capability to be Daisy-Chained to 15 more units (for a total of 16), giving

the user control over a maximum of 128 computers.

Each KVM 08 unit is defined as a “BANK”. See the following diagram for more

information. BANK numbers range from 0 to F (Hexadecimal), for a total of 16 banks.

BANK 0 is the MASTER bank while BANK 1 through F are SLAVE banks. The

MASTER bank is the unit that connects to the console keyboard, mouse and monitor.

The DIP-switch on the rear panel must be set correctly for proper identification and usage.

See the next section for the actual settings. If you are using KVM 08 in a single unit

configuration, it must be set as the MASTER (BANK 0). If it is to be used as a

SLAVE unit, then it must be set to any unused unique bank number from 1 through
