Daisy chaining refers to adding a KVM switch via a dedicated daisy chain port (see the diagram on page 28). The KM0532 / KM0932 supports both daisy chaining and cascading, providing enormous capacity and flexibility to expand the installation. The following sections provide information and procedures to set up cascaded and daisy chained KVM installations.
Page 37: Cascading
(KM0932) bus connections for each cascaded KM0532 / KM0932, and usually no more than one for other KVM switches. In order for all the KVM consoles on the first level KM0532 or KM0932 to be able to access the KVM ports of a cascaded KM0532 / KM0932 at the same time, you must create the maximum number of bus connections between the first level parent switch and the child switch.

To cascade a KVM switch other than the KM0532 / KM0932: 1. Use Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable to connect a KVM port on the KM0532 or KM0932 to a KVM adapter cable appropriate for the KVM switch you are connecting.
Page 41: Daisy Chaining
1. Use a daisy chain cable set (see Cables, page 6) to connect the CHAIN OUT port of the parent KM0532 / KM0932 to the CHAIN IN port of the first KM0032. Note: The maximum distance between the KM0532 / KM0932 and the last KM0032 in the chain cannot exceed 50 m.
