Cascade Configuration
Connection
Before connecting a device (a computer or a Slave) to the Master
under power, you must turn off the device. The Master must have
equal or more '
PC x
' ports than that of the Slave, i.e., if KVM104D is
the master, KVM104 can be Slaves, but KVM108 can not.
The ports labeled "
PC 1
"~”
PC 8
” can be connected to either a
computer or a
Slave
's
CONSOLE
port, as shown in figure 10. A
power adapter with DC 12V output rating must be connected to the
Master
.

The maximum number of computers controlled by a master/slave
configuration with all KVM104s is 16 with 4
Slaves
and each
Slave
connects to 4 computers, see figure. For an all KVM108s
configuration, the number is 64 with 8
Slaves
and each
Slave
connects to 8 computers, see figure 11.
