1. Hardware Setup
4. Connect the Server Interface Unit to the computer/server.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for each computer/server you are
connecting.
6. Connect a Cat5e cable from the network into the KVM switch's
primary network port (LAN 1).
7. Optional: Connect a second Cat5e cable from the network into
the KVM switch's backup (secondary) network port (LAN 2).
8. Optional Dial-In Modem Connection: Use Cat5e cable to
connect the KVM switch's Modem port to the included RJ45 to
DB9 Adapter, and connect the adapter's DB9 connector to the
modem's DB9 port.
9. Use the included grounding wire to ground the unit. Connect one
end of the wire to the grounding terminal, and the other end of
the wire to a suitable grounded object.
10. Plug the included power cords into the KVM switch's
Power Sockets, and then into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector,
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or PDU.
11. Turn on the power to the KVM switch. Once it is powered up,
turn on the power to the connected computers.
1.3 Two-Stage Installation
Up to 32 additional B064-016 KVM switches can be cascaded from the KVM ports of the B064- Series KVM Switch, expanding the number
of connected computers/servers up to 512 units. In a cascaded installation, the top B064-Series KVM Switch is considered the first-stage
unit, the cascaded switches are considered second-stage units.
To set up a two-stage installation:
1. Ensure that power to all the devices you will be connecting, including all pre-existing devices on the installation, have been turned off.
2. Use Cat5e patch cable to connect any available KVM Port on the first-stage unit (the B064-Series KVM Switch) to a B054-001-PS2 or
B055-001-PS2 Server Interface Unit.
Note: Although USB SIUs will allow you to cascade to a second stage KVM, only PS/2 SIUs will properly display the cascaded KVM in the OSD. When
connected via PS/2 SIU, the cascaded KVM will be displayed as an expandable port, allowing you to easily access the connected computers. When connected
via USB SIU, the cascaded KVM will be displayed as an ordinary port. To access computers connected to the cascaded KVM, you will have to use the
cascaded KVM's OSD.
3. Plug the SIU's KVM connectors to the Keyboard, Video, and Mouse Console ports of the second-stage B064-016 unit.
Note: The distance between the second-stage unit and the first-stage unit cannot exceed 164 ft. (50 m).
4. Use the appropriate KVM Cable Kits (See the Second Stage KVMs owner's manual), to connect any available KVM port on the second-
stage unit to the Keyboard, Video and Mouse ports of the computer/server you are installing.
5. Plug the power cord that came with the cascaded KVM switch into its power socket, and then into a Tripp Lite Surge Protector,
Uninterruptible Power Supply (UPS) or PDU.
6. Repeat these steps for any other second-stage units you wish to connect.
7. First power on the B064-Series KVM Switch and then power on all second-stage KVM switches.
8. Turn on the power to all of the connected computers/servers.
Note: The Power On sequence requires that the B064-Series KVM Switch be powered on first. After the B064-Series KVM Switch has been powered on, all
second-stage units must be powered on. After the second-stage units have been powered on, the connected computers/servers can be powered on.
1.4 Laptop USB Console (LUC)
The front panel of the KVM switch features a USB Micro-B port, which connects to the USB port on a laptop to provide console control of the
KVM switch. To use this feature, connect your laptop to the LUC port on the front of the KVM using a USB Micro-B cable. When connected,
an extra drive will appear in your computer's My Computer screen. Click on this drive to bring up the Windows and Java Non-Browser Clients.
Run the desired client to access the KVM switch. The client's login screen will appear, with the KVM showing up as a USB Mass Storage
device in the Login Screen's Server List. Highlight the KVM and then connect per the instructions in the AP Windows Client Login and/or AP
Java Client Login sections of this quick start guide.
