2.2 SINGLE UNIT OR DAISY-CHAIN OPERATION

DKVM-8 has the capability to be Daisy-Chained to 15 more units (for a total of 16), giving

the user control over a maximum of 128 computers.

Each DKVM-8 unit is defined as a “BANK”. See the following diagram for more

information. BANK numbers range from 0 to F (Hexadecimal), for a total of 16 banks.

BANK 0 is the MASTER bank while BANK 1 through F areSLAVE banks. The MASTER

bank is the unit that connects to the console keyboard, mouse and monitor.

The DIP-switch on the rear panel must be set correctly for proper identification and usage.

See the next section for the actual settings. If you are using DKVM-8 in a single unit

configuration, it must be set as the MASTER (BANK 0). If it is to be used as a

SLAVE unit, then it must be set to any unused unique bank number from 1 through

13245678

2.3 HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Step 1

DKVM-8, use the MASTER bank setting. If the DKVM-8 you are using will be

Daisy-Chained off another unit, use a unique slave setting. Please refer to the previous

section for more information. (NOTE: DIP-Switch No. 1 and 2 are reserved, default

setting is “ON”.)

is powered off. Otherwise, plugging

and

unplugging cables may cause irreversible damage

to your computers and the DKVM-8.

INSTALLATION

~ 7~

Step 2

Find a convenient place to put your DKVM-8. Its 19” rack mount form factor makes it

ideal mountable on 19” rack. When mounting to a rack, attach the included brackets to

the sides of the DKVM-8. Take note of the length of your cables so that your computers,

DKVM-8, keyboard, mouse and monitor are distanced properly.

Step 3

Connect the monitor to the DKVM-8. Using the attached cable, or the one included with

your monitor, connect it to the HD DB-15 female port on the back of the DKVM-8 labeled

with the monitor symbol at the CONSOLEconnector.

Step 4

Connect the keyboard and mouse to the DKVM-8. If you have an AT type keyboard, you

will need an AT to PS/2 adapter.

Step 5

Connect the first computer’s VGA cable to the DKVM-8. Using the VGA cable connect

the male end of the cable to the VGA port on the computer, and the female end on the

PC1 VGA port at the back of DKVM-8.

Step 6

Connect the first computer’s mouse cable to the DKVM-8. If using a PS/2 cable connect

one end to the PS/2 mouse port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1 PS/2

mouse port on the back of DKVM-8. If using a serial mouse cable connect one end to a

DB-9 serial port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1 DB-9 serial mouse port

on the back of the DKVM-8.

Step 7

Connect the first computer’s keyboard cable to the DKVM-8. Using another PS/2 cable

connect one end to PS/2 keyboard port on the computer, and the other end to the PC1

keyboard port on the back of DKVM-8. If your computer has an AT type keyboard port,

you will need a PS/2 to AT keyboard adapter.
