10 Installation (continued) Multilevel Installations The number of computers that can be added to your installation can be greatly expanded by performing a multilevel installation.
11 Installation (continued) Multilevel Installations 1 Multiple Modules Multiple Modules Multiple Modules Multiple Modules B062-001-PS2 B062-001-USB Cascading Another way of adding capacity to your installation is to cascade additional KVM switches from the B060 Series KVM’ s CPU ports.
12 Installation (continued) Multilevel Installations Protocol Interface Cascading Protocol Interface Cascading refers to cascading to a second stage KVM switch (such as the eight port T ripp Lite B007-008) that uses the same data transfer protocol as the first stage B060 Series KVM.
13 Installation (continued) Multilevel Installations Physical Interface Cascading Physical Interface Cascading refers to cascading to a second stage KVM switch (such as the T ripp Lite B022-016) that doesn’t utilize the same protocol as the first stage B060 Series KVM, but uses the same physical interface (PS/2 or USB ports, for example).

16 Installation (continued) Daisy Chaining Plus Cascading Expansion Physical Interface Expansion T o set up a daisy chained/cascaded installation under Physical Interface Expansion, refer to the diagram below , and do the following: 1. Follow the cabling up procedures given in the Daisy Chaining sections.
17 Installation (continued) T opology Considerations The use of RJ-45 CPU connectors, combined with our Auto Signal Compensation (ASC), allow signals to travel up to 500 feet (150 meters) and still maintain reliability and high video resolution.
18 Installation (continued) Basic Operations Cascaded Protocol Interface Installations The Port ID for computers on Protocol Interface cascaded installations is made up of three parts: • The Station Number of the B060 Series KVM • The Port Number on the B060 Series KVM that the cascaded KVM switch links back to.
19 OSD Operation OSD Overview The B060 Series KVM’ s On Screen Display (OSD) provides a visual, menu-driven, mouse enabled, inter- face that offers quick and convenient computer access and control, as well as ef ficient system administra- tion including user management (access rights, passwords, etc.

27 Hotkey Operation Hotkey P or t Control Hotkey Port Control allows you to provide KVM focus to a particular computer directly from the keyboard. Note : Hotkeys work best in single stage and basic cascaded or daisy chained installations.
28 Hotkey Operation (continued) A uto Scanning Auto Scan switches among all the CPU Ports that are accessible to the current Operator at regular intervals (see Scan/Skip Mode , p. 22, for information regarding accessible ports). This function is convenient for automatically monitoring the activity of the computers on the installation.
29 Hotkey Operation (continued) Skip Mode This feature allows you to switch between computers in order to monitor them manually . In contrast to Auto Scanning, which automatically switches after a fixed interval, Skip Mode lets you dwell on a particular port for as long as you like.
30 Multiplatform Support The B060 Series KVM provides the utmost in flexibility for your installation by offering multi-platform support. Through the use of Console Modules and KVM Adapter Cables, PS/2 and USB interfaces can be mixed and matched at the console side, and PS/2, USB and Sun interfaces can be mixed and matched at the computer side.
