2.3 Daisy-Chaining

Warning! The total length of daisy-chain cabling from the master KVM switch to the last KVM switch in a daisy-chain installation (regardless of the
number of levels) must not exceed 16 ft. (5 m). If the total length of daisy-chain cabling exceeds 16 ft. (5 m), the installation will not function properly.
To maximize the number of connected computers, multiple NetController KVM Switches can be daisy-chained together to connect up to a total of
128 computers. The NetController KVM Switches that are to be daisy-chained do not have to be of the same port capacity. You can daisy-chain any
combination of NetController KVM Switches to scale the port capacity with more flexibility. KVM controls can then be extended to groups of computers
connected on the daisy-chain of NetController KVM Switches.
Note: B040-Series NetController KVM Switches cannot be daisy-chained off of another KVM switch. They can only be used as the master
(bank 1) KVM in a daisy-chained configuration.
Daisy-chain Multiple KVM Switches
Step 1: Connect the AC power cord to the master KVM Switch and plug it in to a power source.
Step 2: Use daisy-chain cable—HD15 (M) to HD15 (F)—to connect the daisy-chain OUT port of the master KVM switch to the
daisy-chain IN port of the second (downstream) NetController Switch.* Then connect the AC power cord to the second KVM Switch.
Step 3: Follow the same procedure for any additional KVM Switches you would like to attach, creating a daisy-chain up to 8 KVM Switches.
Step 4: After you have set up the Daisy-Chain of KVM Switches, plug the daisy-chain terminator into the daisy-chain OUT port of the last
KVM Switch.
Step 5: Connect each computer to the KVM Switches in your daisy-chain using a P780 series Tripp Lite USB PS/2 KVM Cable Kit. Not included.
Step 6: The KVM Switches are now ready to operate as soon as you turn on any of the attached computers.
Note: When you are connecting a PS/2 computer, it is required that the NetController KVM Switch is connected and powered on before starting your computer.
* A Tripp Lite P781-series daisy-chain cable is required (sold separately).
