The way you’ll do this will depend on whether the KVM switch’s CPU ports are
multiple connectors (see
Section 6.2.5.A
) or single composite connectors (see
Section 6.2.5.B
). (Refer to the listings in
Section 4.2.4
for which switch models are
in which category.)
6.2.5.A Attaching a Switch with Multiple CPU-Port Connectors
Run extension cabling from the user-port connectors on the Remote Unit or Dual-
Access Local Unit to the matching CPU-port connectors on the KVM switch. This
extension cabling can be individual keyboard-, video-, and mouse-extension cables
(product codes EVMPS03-MM for keyboard and mouse, EVNPS05-MM for video),
but we recommend our specially bonded three-to-three CPU-extension cable
(product code EHN408):
• If you’re using individual extension cables, run the video-extension cable
between the two video/monitor connectors, the keyboard-extension cable
between the two keyboard connectors, and the mouse-extension cable between
the two mouse connectors.
• If you’re using one of our three-to-three bonded extension cables, run the
cable’s video strand between the two video/monitor connectors, the cable’s
keyboard strand between the two keyboard connectors, and the cable’s mouse
strand between the two mouse connectors, as shown in Figure 6-6. (The
keyboard and mouse connectors on the bonded cable have different colors
and icon labels for easy identification.)
