4.7.6 Daisy Chain Connection
Use one end of daisy chain cable to connect to the Daisy Chain port of Master KVM switch and connect
the other end of daisy chain cable to the Local Console port of the next Slave KVM switch. Please repeat
the connection procedures for next Slave KVM switch. You can daisy chain up to eight banks in
maximum.
Modular KVM Switch:
Figure 2-9. Daisy Chain Connection
The console OSD menu will show only the port information of the master KVM switch. When
the master unit starts up, it will query all daisy chained Slave units, and automatically set up the
Bank ID for each Slave unit. For stand alone KVM switch, the 7-seg LED on the Master unit will
display 1, Slave 1 will display 2, Slave 2 will display 3, and so on. If not so, please reset (press
“BANK” and port button) the Master unit to update the Bank ID immediately. Hot Plug
function is supported in daisy chain connection. The Master unit will auto-query the daisy
chained Slaves every 30 seconds.
