Hardware Setup
Overview
For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing the PS/2 and USB
interfaces, the KM0216 / KM0432's design utilizes
console modules
that act as
signal translation intermediaries between the consoles and the switch, and
KVM adapter cables,
that serve as intermediaries between the switch and the
computers:
A separate console module is required for each console; likewise, a separate
KVM adapter cable is required for each computer. The console modules and
KVM adapter cables are listed in the
Cables
section on page 4. Consult your
dealer to find out which console modules and KVM adapter cables best fit your
needs.
