Daisy Chaining
To control even more computers, up to 31 additional KL1508A / KL1516A
KVM switches can be daisy chained from the original KL1508
A or KL1516A.
As many as 512 computers can be controlled from a single console in a
complete installation.
Note: Since it would be unnecessarily wasteful and expensive to use
KL1508
A / KL1516A switches for daisy chaining (there is no point in
having consoles on the chained switches), switches without LCD
consoles are used instead. Please see the table, Compatible Switches,
page 74 for a list of ATEN switches that can be installed on a KL1508
A
/ KL1516A daisy chain.
Tables showing the relation between the number of computers and the number
of KL1508
A / KL1516A units needed to control them are provided on page 71.
To set up a daisy chained installation, make sure that power to all the devices
you will be connecting up has been turned off, and refer to the Daisy Chaining,
page 18 as you do the following:
1. Use a daisy chain cable set to connect the Chain Out port of the parent
KL1508
A / KL1516A unit to the Chain In port of the child KL1508A /
KL1516
A unit (first station out to second station in, second station out to
third station in, etc.).
Note: 1. You cannot use the chain in port of the First Station, since it is the
highest level parent.
2. Daisy chain cable sets require a separate purchase. See your
dealer for details.
2. Cable up the computers and the switch according to the information
provided under Single Station Installation, page 14.
3. Repeat the above for any other switches you want to add to the chain.
4. Power up the installation according to the following procedure:
a) Plug in the power cord for the first station. Wait for the unit to ascertain
its station ID and display it on the Station ID LED. (The station ID for
the first stage unit is 01, the ID for the second stage unit is 02, the ID for
the third stage unit is 03, etc.)
