SH-6510 User Guide
Configurations
SH-6510 has several models each supporting a different number of
computers. For applications with a large number of computers,
KVM Switches can be cascaded in a master/slave configuration to
support even more computers.
Single Configuration
First let one side of adapter Plug-in power insert and connect the
other side of the adapter to the port of KVM switches. Then, connect
multiple sets of keyboard, mouse and monitor cables to the “
PC
x”
ports of the KVM Switches, as shown in figure 1.

Cascade (Master/Slave) Configuration
You can connect a second level of one or more KVM Switches to “
PC
1
”~”
PC 4
” (KVM104) or "
PC 1
"~”
PC 8
” ports (KVM108) of a
Master
unit. Cascade configuration expands system ability allowing you to
select computers connected to the
Master
or
Slaves
(There is only
one
Master
, which has a mouse, a keyboard and a monitor
connected to its
CONSOLE
port directly operated by a user). Once
connected, KVM Switches automatically configure themselves to
either
Master
or
Slave
.
Slaves
of different KVM Switches models
can be mixed in cascade configuration.
[NOTE: Master must have
equal or more PC ports than that of Slaves, i.e., if KVM104 is a
master, KVM104 can be Slaves, but KVM108 can not.]
Figure 2: A cascade KVM Switches configuration
Throughout this manual,
Master
is the SH-6510.
Slave
is a KVM
Switches that has its
CONSOLE
port connected to a
Master's
“
PC
x”
port.
Slave
only exists in cascade configuration.
