Single-Stage Installation
In a single-stage installation, no additional switches are cascaded from the
original switch. To set up a single-stage installation, refer to the installation
diagrams starting on page 27 (the numbers in the diagram correspond with the
numbers of the instruction steps), and do the following:
1. Plug your Local Console's keyboard, monitor, and mouse into the unit's
Console Ports. Each port is color coded and marked with an icon.
Note: 1. USB keyboards and mice can plug into the USB ports on the front
panel, as well as into the ports in the console port section.
2. The KVM over IP switch does not support distances that exceed
20 m between itself and the local monitor.
2. Use Cat 5e cable to connect any available KVM port to a KVM Adapter
Cable that is appropriate for the server you are installing (see the table on
page 10 for details).
Note: 1. If you are using a KA7120 or KA7130 Adapter Cable, refer to
page 294 for mouse pointer synchronization information.
2. If you are using a KA7140 Adapter Cable, refer to page 288 for
setup and operation information.
3. The distance between the switch and the KVM Adapter Cable
must not exceed these lengths: KA7140: 300 m; KA71xx: 50 m.
3. Plug the connectors on the KVM Adapter Cable into the appropriate ports
of the server you are installing. (See Adapter Cable Connection Diagram,
page 32.)
4. Plug a cable from the LAN or WAN into the KVM over IP switch's
primary network interface socket.
5. (Optional) Plug another cable from the LAN or WAN into the KVM over
IP switch's backup (secondary) network interface socket.
6. Ground the switch using proper grounding wire to connect the switch's
grounding terminal to a suitable grounded object.
Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to
the unit from surges or static electricity.
