The KM0032/KM0532/KM0932 can be mounted in a 19" (1U) rack. The mounting brackets can
screw into either the front or the back of the unit so that it can attach to the front or the back of the
rack.
1. Remove the two screws at the front or
the rear.
2. Screw the two mounting brackets into
the sides of the unit at the front or the
rear.
To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all devices are properly grounded.
Use a grounding wire to ground the KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 by connecting one end of the
wire to the switch’s grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.
5-3 Single Level Installation
In a single level installation, there are no additional KVM switches cascaded or daisy chained
down from the first level KVM switch. To set up a single level installation, refer to the diagram
(the numbers in the diagrams correspond to the numbered steps) and do the following:
1. Connect the KVM console.
Plug your keyboard, mouse, and monitor into their respective ports on the console module. Each
console port is marked with an identifying icon
2. Connect the console module to the KM0532 / KM0932.
Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect the LINE IN 1 or LINE IN 2 port of the console module to one of
the Console (User) ports on the KM0532 / KM0932's rear panel.
(Repeat steps 1 and 2 for all KVM consoles that you wish to connect. Up to 5 (KM0532), or 9
(KM0932) KVM consoles may be connected in this fashion (1 port on the front panel, plus 4 or
8 ports on the rear panel).
Note: The distance between any console module and any KVM adapter cable must not exceed
300 m (1000').
3. Connect the KVM adapter cable to the computer.
Using a KVM adapter cable that is appropriate for the computer you are installing, plug the
adapter cable’s connectors into their respective ports on the computer
4. Connect the KVM adapter cable to the KM0532 / KM0932.
Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect the KVM adapter cable to any available KVM port on the KM0532
/ KM0932. (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 5e/6 cable to connect the KM0532 or KM0932's PON port to an SA0142 Adapter.
Connect the Adapter to the PON IN port of a PN0108 Power Over the Net™ unit.
7. Ground the switch.
Use the grounding wire supplied with this package to ground the unit by connecting one end of
the wire to the grounding terminal, and the other end of the wire to a suitable grounded object.
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. Turn on the power to the KM0532 / KM0932.
9. Connect the console module’s power adapter to the console module and to an AC power source.
10. Turn on the power to the computers.

KM0532 and KM0932 switches support a 3 level cascade for KM0532 / KM0932 units. They
support a 1 level cascade for other compatible model KVM switches. In other words, slave
switches cannot be cascaded from non-KM0532 / KM0932 switches
Cascading KM0532 / KM0932 Switches
Note: The firmware version of all cascaded KM0532 / KM0932s should match the firmware
version of the first level KM0532 / KM0932.
To cascade KM0532 / KM0932 switches refer to the installation diagram and do the following:
1. Connect the KVM console to the console module.
2. Connect the console module to the KM0532 / KM0932.
Note: The distance between any console module and any KVM adapter cable, or between the
first level and final level KVM switch, may not exceed 300 m (1000').
3. Use Cat 5e/6 cable to connect any KVM port on the parent switch to any of the Console ports on
the child switch.
Note: 1. The number of KVM consoles connected to the first level switch that can
simultaneously access the cascaded switch is limited by the number of Console port
connections between the parent and child switches.
2. The distance between any console module and any KVM adapter cable must not exceed
300 m (1000').
4. Repeat step 3 for each second level KVM switch that you wish to cascade.
5. Follow the instructions given for single level installation to connect computers, power cords,
etc..
Note: It is not necessary to connect cascaded switches to the network. Remote (over the
network) administration of cascaded switches are managed through the of the first level
switch.
6. To cascade third level KVM switches, follow the instructions in steps 3, 4, and 5 when cascading
them from the second level KVM switches.
7. Power on the first level KM0532 / KM0932.
8. Wait one minute, and then power on each second level KM0532 /KM0932.
9. Wait one minute, and then power on each third level KM0532 / KM0932.
10. Plug the power adapters supplied with the console modules into an appropriate AC power
source, and then plug the power adapter cables into the power jacks on the rear of the console
modules.
11. Turn on the power to all the computers.

5-5 Daisy Chaining
5-4 Cascading
Up to 7 KM0032 Expansion KVM Switches can be daisy chained from the first level KM0532 /
KM0932.
The KM0932 is capable of supporting nine independent KVM consoles, while the KM0532 is
capable of supporting 5 independent KVM consoles. In a complete daisy chained installation, the
KVM consoles that belong to the KM0532 / KM0932 can access and control all of the computers
on the installation.
To set up a daisy chained installation, refer to the diagram and do the following:
1. Use a daisy chain cable set 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.
2. The maximum distance between the KM0532 / KM0932 and the last KM0032 in the
chain cannot exceed 50 m.
2. Follow the instructions given for single level installation to connect computers, LAN, power
cords, etc.
3. For any other KM0032 switches you want to add to the chain, use a daisy chain to connect the
Chain Out port of the parent switch to the Chain In port of the child switch.
4. Power on the installation according to the following procedure:
a) Power on the first level (KM0532 or KM0932) switch.
b) Power on each switch in the chain in turn (second station, then third station, etc.). In each
case, wait for the station position to be ascertained and displayed on the Station ID LED
before powering on the next station. (The Station ID for the first KM0032 is 01, the Station
ID for the second level KM0032 is 02, etc.)
c) After all the KVM switches are powered on, power on the computers.

appears at the upper left corner of the screen.
• Information about the functions that the Toolbar items perform appears when you move the
mouse over them.
• When the toolbar displays, mouse input is confined to the toolbar area and keyboard input has no
effect on the computer connected to the port. To carry out operations on the computer, close the
toolbar by clicking the Xon it; or, recall the UI and select the port again.
First Time Setup
Once the KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 installation has been cabled up, the Super Administrator
needs to set the system up for user operation. The most convenient way to do this for the first
time is from one of the consoles.
Note: For remote methods of setting up the network, see IP Address Determination. After the
console has been connected up, and the KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 turned on, a login
prompt appears on the console monitor:
After the console has been connected up, and the KM0032 / KM0532 / KM0932 turned on, a
login prompt appears on the console monitor:
