ports.

Port Type Use and Connection Information
User A and User
B The access ports can be connected with an RJ-45 cable to KVM ports
on the primary KVM unit. Once the KVM Expander is configured as a
cascaded device on the master KVM unit, users can connect to one or
both ports. Each port allows one connection to a server plugged in to the
KVM Expander, so a maximum of two server connections can be made
at one time.
See “Installing the AlterPath KVM Expander” on page 102.
KVM ports KVM ports on the KVM Expander work exactly as the KVM ports on
the KVM: They allow the connection of a CAT 5 cable to a terminator,
which is connected to a USB Sun server running Solaris or a PC run-
ning a Windows, Linux, or other open source operating system.
See “KVM Ports” on page 9 for more background information on KVM
ports.
See “Connecting Servers to the KVM Ports” on page 64 for information
on connecting servers to the KVM ports.
