Increasing The Number Of Connectable Computers; Connecting A Slave Switch To The Master Switch - G&D miniMUX4 Installation And Operation Manual

Increasing the number of connectable computers

Increasing the number of connectable
computers
By cascading multiple KVM switches, you can increase the number of connectable
computers to up to 32 computers.
For this, simply connect more KVM switches to one or several
KVM switch.
NOTE:
The master switch is the KVM switch of a cascade to which the console
devices are connected. The slave switches are connected to the
master switch.
EXAMPLE:
Instead of a computer, connect the miniMUX8 slave switch to the
interface of the master switch.
You can connect up to eight computers to the slave switch that can be accessed
from the console that is connected to the master switch.

Connecting a slave switch to the master switch

NOTE:
Instead of a computer, you can also connect a slave switch to each
interface of the master switch.
Follow the instructions below to connect a slave switch to each CPU interface.
