KVM08KD has the capability to be Daisy-Chained with 15 more KVM08 units (for a total

of 16), giving the user control over a maximum of 128 computers.

Each KVM 08KD or 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 KVM 08KD unit because it has keyboard, mouse build in and

monitor attached.

The DIP-switch on the rear panel of KVM08 must be set correctly for proper identification

and usage. See the next section for the actual settings. The KVM08 is to be used as a

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