Receive Module for ServSwitch™ Multi Hub
Receive Modules (product code KV1702C) and their companion Transmit Modules (KV1701C) are the
components of the ServSwitch Multi Hub (KV170RA) that handle its communication with other ServSwitch
Multi units. Here's how to configure and install your Receive Module:
1. First—before you do anything else—plan your layout. Figure out which of your ServSwitch Multi system's
Transmit-Card ports you want to connect to the Receive Module's ports. You might want to refer to the
sample layouts in the chapter about the Hub in the manual for the ServSwitch Multi system. If you're not
sure what the best arrangement of cable connections would be, please call Black Box Technical Support.
(We strongly encourage you to call Black Box Tech Support anyway, to discuss your application, before you
perform any large or complex ServSwitch Multi installation.)
2. If you are installing this Module at the same time you install the Hub: If you haven't done so already, install the fan
assemblies and power supplies in your Hub. Plug in the power supplies and turn them ON.
Make sure you set the Hub's chassis ID before you make cable connections from any
Module installed in this Hub to any CAT5 Expansion Cards in other ServSwitch Multi
units! Refer to the chapter about the Hub in your ServSwitch Multi manual for
instructions on how to do this.
