Use one end of daisy chain cable to connect to the Daisy Chain port of master KVM switch

Figure 3. Daisy Chain Connection

The console OSD menu will show only the port information of the master KVM swich. When the

master unit starts up, it will query all daisy chained slave units, and automatically set up the Bank ID for
each slave unit. So the 7-seg LED on the master unit will display 1, slave 1 will display 2, slave 2 will
display 3, and so on. If not so, please reset (press “BANK” and port button) the master unit to update
the Bank ID immediately. Hot plug function is supported in daisy chain connection. The master unit will
auto-query the daisy chained slaves every 30 seconds.
