B020-008-17-IP User Manual

Two Stage Installation

To expand the number of computers that can be controlled in your KVM

installation, up to 8 additional KVM switches (model B007-008) can be

cascaded from the B020-008-17-IP’s KVM ports. As many as 64 computers

can be controlled in a complete two stage installation.

In a two stage installation, the B020-008-17-IP is considered the first stage

unit; the cascaded switches are considered second stage units.

To set up a two stage installation, do the following:

1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up,

including all preexisting devices on the installation, have been turned off.

2. Use a KVM cable set (see Cables, page 18), to connect any available

KVM Port on the First Stage unit to the Console ports of the Second Stage

unit.

3. Use KVM cable sets (as described in the Cables section of the user manual

for the cascaded KVM switch) to connect any available KVM port on the

cascaded KVM switch to the keyboard, video, and mouse ports of the

computers you are installing.

4. Plug the power cord that came with the cascaded KVM switch into its

power socket, and then into an AC power source.

(Repeat Steps 2–4 for any additional KVM switches that you wish to

cascade from the B020-008-17-IP.)

5. Power on the B020-008-17-IP.

6. Power on the cascaded KVM switches.

7. Power on the computers.
