Connecting PCs to the
ProConnect ® 4-Station CPU Switch
Before you connect any PCs to the 4-Station CPU Switch, make sure that the
power on all of the PCs you will be connecting is off. You must also unplug the
power cords or any computers that have the Keyboard Power On function. To
prevent any damage to the 4-Station CPU Switch, make sure that all devices
you are connecting are properly grounded.
Make sure you have enough Cabling Kits (model #SVPS06, from your nearest
Linksys dealer) available to make the desired number of connections.
®
Up to three tiers of ProConnect CPU Switches can be connected together to
control up to 64 computers. These can be done in a Single Station, Two Stage,
or Three Stage Installation.
NOTE: Connecting different models of CPU
Switches can cause problems with HotKey port
switching. To prevent this, only use ProConnect
Station CPU Switches when connecting them together.
Single Station Installation
In a Single Station Installation, up to four computers are connected directly to
the CPU Switch, as shown in the diagram below. No additional ProConnect
CPU Switches are connected to the first CPU Switch.
