Hardware Setup
Overview
For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing multiple platforms, the
CS18208 / CS18216 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 18).
A separate custom USB HDMI KVM cable is required for each computer
connection. The custom KVM cables are listed under
Cables , on page 5.
Consult your dealer to find out which custom KVM cables best fit your needs.
Installation Types
The CS18208 / CS18216 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.
