Page 30: Single Level Installation
(Repeat steps 3 and 4 for all computers that you wish to connect. Up to 32 computers may be connected in this fashion.) 5. Plug a cable from the LAN or WAN into the KM0532 or KM0932's LAN port. 6. Connect a PON unit (Optional) Use Cat.
Page 31 Note: Do not omit this step. Proper grounding helps to prevent damage to the unit from surges or static electricity. 8. Plug the power cords supplied with this package into the KM0532 / KM0932’s Power Socket, and then into an AC power source.

Daisy chaining refers to adding a KVM switch via a dedicated daisy chain port (see the diagram on page 26). 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 33: 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.

Page 36: Cascading Other Kvm Switches
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 37: Daisy Chaining
1. Use a daisy chain cable set (see Cables, page 5) to connect the CHAIN OUT port of the parent KM0532 / KM0932 to the CHAIN IN port of the first KM0032. Note: 1. The maximum distance between any two switches cannot exceed 10 m.
