Connecting a slave central module

How to connect a slave central module to a master device:
1. Configure the same number of dynamic ports as up ports as consoles that you
want to allow to simultaneously access the slave central module.
2. Now connect the configured
master device.
3. Connect the target modules or other slave central modules to the slave central
module (up to 2 cascade levels).
4. Check and, if necessary, change the cascade mode of the master and/or the slave
central module (see page 23).

Defining the cascade mode of the central module

The central modules detect independently whether they are installed as master or as
slave device within the KVM matrix system.
NOTE: Changing the cabling of the devices by accident can also change the operat-
ing mode of the central module.
To avoid accidental changes, you can adjust the operating mode of each central
module separately in the on-screen display of the respective device.
How to change the cascade mode of a central module:
1. Press
Ctrl+Num
2. Press F11 to call the Configuration menu.
