Two Levels Installation (Cascading)
Note: The cascading feature will only be available on products that will ship after January 2009. If you
purchased a GCS1716 prior to January 2009, you can add the cascading feature by simply upgrading the
Firmware. Visit www.iogear.com/support for the latest updates.
To control more computers, up to 16 additional switches can be cascaded down from the first GCS1716.
As many as 256 computers can be controlled from a single console in a complete installation.
Note: It is recommended to use the USB KVM custom cable rather than the PS/2 one for cascading
application (see Cables Table, page 5).
To set up a cascading installation, follow the steps below:
1.
Make sure that that switch is grounded and power has been turned off to all components you will be
using.
2.
Using the console cable provided, connect a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the console port on
the KVM. Refer to the Cable Connection Diagrams on page 25.
