Cascading a KVM Expander

The KVM Expander can support up to two users simultaneously accessing its
KVM ports. In a two-user configuration, a primary KVM switch uses two
connections for each KVM Expander-to-primary KVM switch configuration:

User A port – One CAT5 cable between a KVM port on the primary KVM
unit and the User A port on the KVM Expander

User B port – One CAT5 cable between a KVM port on the primary KVM
unit and the User B port on the KVM Expander

In a single user configuration, only one CAT5 cable is connected from a KVM
port on the primary KVM unit to either of the user ports on the KVM
Expander.

The following diagram displays a KVM Expander cascaded from a KVM/net.
