Hardware Setup
Overview
For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing multiple platforms, the
CS1798 / CS17916 design utilizes custom USB HDMI KVM cables that serve
as intermediaries between the switch and the connected computers (refer to the
installation diagram on page 20).
A separate custom USB HDMI KVM cable is required for each computer
connection. The custom KVM cables are listed under
Cables , on page 6.
Consult your dealer to find out which custom KVM cables best fit your needs.
Installation Types
The CS1798 / CS17916 offers two types of installation – 1) standalone/
cascade; and 2) multi-display – that require different cabling setups. Therefore,
the functions of both types are not available in one installation. See the
following sections in this chapter for details about the different cabling
requirements.
