Installation
11
Repeat step 10 for each additional KVM switch on the installation.
12
Repeat steps 8 through 11 for each additional computer added to the installation.
13
To properly power on the installation, first connect the included power supply to
the first level KVM switch, then plug it into an appropriate power source. To help
protect your system from sudden transient increases and decreases in electrical
power, plugging your devices into a Tripp Lite surge protector, line conditioner, or
uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is recommended.
14
Repeat step 13 for the second level KVM switch, then for each successive KVM
switch in the installation.
15
Turn on the power to all connected computers and devices.
Grouping Ports into Channels
Once the cables are connected and Multi-monitor mode is enabled in the OSD (see
"Activate Multiview" in the F4: ADM section in this manual for details), the KVM switch
auto-detects the channels and viewing modes. Users can assign a channel number
as the port name (channels are represented by the vertical columns in the diagram
below). For example, all Port 1s in the installation become Channel 1, and all Port 2s
become Channel 2, and so on. The ports will all switch at the same time, channel by
channel.
