uses a KVM switch’s CPU ports to connect to a slave switch, Daisy-chaining
uses dedicated daisy-chain ports. On an installation with 15 daisy-chained
switches, a system administrator can control up to 256 computers.
To set up a Multiple Level Installation, do the following;
1. Power off all computers and connected devices.
2. Using Black CAT5’s daisy-chain cable set, connect the Chain Out port of the
KORAT-1716(Master switch) to the Chain In port of the Black CAT5 KVM
switch you are installing.
3. Using standard CAT5E Cable, connect one end of the cable to user Port 1
on the rear of the switch. Connect the other end of the cable to the RJ-45
port of the Hamster CAT5 Dongle (P/N: Hamster-P / Hamster-U).
4. Connect the keyboard, video and mouse connectors of the Hamster CAT5
Dongle to the computers you are installing.
5. Repeat the above steps for any other additional Black CAT5 switches you
wish to add to the daisy-chain installation.
Note:1. The use of CAT5 cabling allows computers to be placed at a maximum distance of 30m (100 feet)
away. Performance and VGA quality may degrade beyond this distance.
2. Signal transmission cannot pass through network hubs or switches as data signals are not
transmitted in packets. Instead patch cables, patch panels and the alike can be used to channel data
traffic.
3. Only the PS/2 connection is shown on the connection diagram. USB connection is similar except that
only one USB port is needed for both USB keyboard and USB mouse.
BANK 00
(MASTER)
BANK 01
(SLAVE)
Connecting the Power Supply
1. Connect the supplied power cord to the KORAT’s power jack and plug the
other end of the power cord into an available power outlet.
2. Connect the power adapter to the Black CAT5’s power jack and plug
the power adapter into an available power outlet. Do the same for all other
connected switches.
3. Power up the installation in turn. Power ON each Switch starting with the
KORAT Master switch, in each case wait for the BANK ID to display before
powering on the next.
4. Perform a manual reset of the “Master” KVM switch by simultaneously
pressing for port 1 and port 2 simultaneously selectors, located on the
front panel. All port LEDs of the “Master” switch will flash green for reset
confirmation.
5. Power ON all computers.

Confirmation Procedure
Once all computers are powered on, the switch emulates both mouse and
keyboard signals on each port allowing your computer to boot normally without
errors.
To make sure your daisy-chain installation was successful, do the following:
1. Press [SCROLL LOCK] twice and enter your 4 digit port ID code (refer to
Hot Keys on p.15 for details).
For example: [SCROLL LOCK], [SCROLL LOCK], “0101”, displays PC1’s
screen.
2. Check to see that the keyboard, monitor, and mouse are working normally.
Proceed to do this with all occupied ports to verify that all computers are
connected and responding correctly. If you encounter an err, check your
cable connections for that computer and reboot.
Keyboard / Mouse Reset
If the keyboard and or mouse stop responding, perform a manual reset
and reboot. To reset, simultaneously press both Port 1 and Port 2 selectors
simultaneously , located on the front panel of the KORAT-1716.
OPERATION
Hot Plugging
The KORAT-1716’s integrated Black CAT5 features hot plugging where by
computers can be added or removed without shutting down the Switch. When
hot plugging console ports (keyboard, monitor, and mouse) if you experience a
problem after removing and adding a new mouse, perform a manual reset by
pressing Port 1 and 2 selectors of KORAT-1716’s front panel. Should the prob-
lem continue after performing a system reset, restart the computer/s in ques-
tion.
Powering Down and Restarting
Powering down the KORAT-1716 and/or attached Switches will not affect the
computers of your installation. On restarting the KORAT-1716 and/or attached
Switches, operator control is regained immediately. To replace a Switch, simply
do the following:
1. Power down.
2. Remove the cables and plug them into the new switch.
3. Power On.
Access and Control
Controlling your computers with the KORAT-1716’s integrated Black CAT5
KVM switch couldn’t be easier. The Black CAT5 allows you to access the com-
puters using three simple methods:
nManual Selectors
nHot Keys
nOSD (On Screen Display) Menu
Manual Switching
You can directly select any single computer or access any connected Bank (
↑
/
↓
) by using the convenient direct-access selector located on the front panel
of the KORAT-1716 Rack Mount Console with integrated Black CAT5 KVM
Switch. Each port switch has a corresponding LED for easy status monitoring.
A Green LED indicates current port selection (Selected). A Red LED light indi-
cates a port is not selected but the connected computer is powered and ready
(Online). The KORAT-1716 is also equipped with a seven segment LED dis-
play for BANK identication when daisy-chaining.

BANK Identification
Daisy-chained switches are referred to as slaves or BANKS and assigned
a location ID. For example, the console keyboard, monitor and mouse that
connect to the Master switch has a BANK ID of “ ”. The decimal point
denotes the Master switch.
If, for example, a user selects BANK 2 as the new Master Switch then the
BANK ID displays .
(Note: a BANK ID succeeded by a decimal point denotes Master switch status.)
HOT KEYS
Port Identification
Each computer in an Black CAT5 installation has a unique port ID. You can
directly switch the KVM focus to any computer by entering the switch port
number and the BANK number (for daisy-chained installations). Each is
assigned a two digit numeric ID.
Invoking Hot Key Mode
All Hot key operations begin with invoking the Hot Key mode. Simply invoke
the Hot Key mode by pressing; [SCROLL LOCK], [SCROLL LOCK] within

Single Switch Installation
n
The BANK number (Y) is the first two digit number that identifies the
Switch’s position. In a single switch installation the BANK number is always
“00”.
n
The Port number (X) is a two the two digit number (preceded by the BANK
number) that identifies the port on the Black CAT5 switch that the computer
is connected to.
For example, a computer connected to Port 8 has the numeric ID of 0008.
(Note: the BANK number always precedes the Port number.)
Daisy-chained Installation
nThe BANK number (Y) is the rst two-digit number that identies the
Switch’s position in a daisy-chained installation.
nThe Port number (X) is a two-digit number that identies the port on the
KVM switch that the computer is connected to.
