Two Stage Cascade
To control even more computers, additional CS18208 / CS18216 units can be
cascaded from the KVM ports of the First Stage unit. The cascaded CS18208 /
CS18216s that connect back to the First Stage unit are considered Second Stage
units. As many as 64 (CS18208) or 256 (CS18216) computers can be
controlled in a complete two stage installation. A table showing the relation
between the number of computers and the number of units needed to control
them is provided on page 93.
To set up a two stage installation, refer to the
Two Stage Installation
diagram
on the next page as you do the following:
1. Make sure that power to all the devices you will be connecting up,
including all preexisting devices on the installation, have been turned off.
2. Use the provided cable sets (HDMI cable, USB 3.0 cable, and audio cable)
with this package to connect any available KVM Port on the First Stage
unit to the Console ports of the Second Stage unit.
Note:
Plug the USB Type-A connector into the lower USB (keyboard) port
in the Console section (they are both marked with a similar icon to
remind you of the correct USB port).
3. Using another provided cable sets (HDMI cable, USB 3.0 cable, and audio
cable) with this package, plug the HDMI connector into any available
HDMI port in the KVM Ports Section of the second stage switch, then
plug the accompanying USB Type-B, and audio cable into their
corresponding USB, and audio jack.
Note:
Verify that all the connectors are in the same KVM Ports Section (all in
CPU 1, all in CPU 2, etc.), and that each socket is marked with an
appropriate icon to indicate itself.
The CS18208 / CS18216 only supports speaker ports. Do not connect a
KVM cable's microphone connector to the speaker ports.
4. At the other end of the cables from step 3, plug the HDMI cable, USB 3.0
cable, and audio cables into their respective ports on the computer.
5. Repeat steps 3 and 4 for any other PC systems you are installing.
