SERVSWITCH™ CONSOLE PLUS

Switch Installation – Multiple units – “BUS” topology
A “BUS” configuration is usually used when the user is connected to the KVM
ports on Unit #1. In a “BUS” configuration, (Figure 3) the video path is from
the last Unit in the configuration to the first Unit (“OUT” to “IN”). A user on
the first Unit can access all computers on all Units. A user connected to Unit
#2 can only access computers on Unit #2, 3, etc. Connect conflicts can occur
with multiple users (See Appendix F)
Figure 3. Bus configuration
The Units in Figure 4 can be any ServSwitch Console Plus model. KVM
stations on expanded units is not recommended, access conflicts can occur.
The “BUS” installation procedure is very similar to the single Unit installation
with the addition of connecting the expansion cables and changing two
configuration parameters, the “Starting computer” number and the “Maximum
computers” number. All Units in the system must have an expansion card(s)
with a jumper installed on JP1.
(NOTE: Jumper JP1 is factory installed on all expansion cards)
