Overview

For convenience and flexibility that allows USB interfaces, as well as multiple
platforms, the KVM over IP switch design utilizes KVM Adapter Cables, that
serve as intermediaries between the switch and the connected devices (see
Adapter Cable Connection Diagram, page 26 for details).
A separate KVM Adapter Cable is required for each server or device
connection. The model numbers of the Adapters are given in the KVM Adapter
Cables section, page 10.
