8 – Cascading switches
The number of servers administered from the one Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse
Console can be expanded to a maximum of 256 by cascading KVMs.
Each port of the first or Master KVM can support a Slave KVM through a cascade
cable. This effectively connects up to 8 or 16 servers – depending on Slave KVM
connected - to the one port on the Master KVM. All of the Master KVM’s ports may
be used in this way, yielding a maximum of 256 servers controlled by the one
Monitor, Keyboard and Mouse Console using 16 port KMVs.
UKT-KVM-CAS-x-Z (x = length: S=5foot, M=10foot, L=20foot )
Further lengths of up to 100ft are available by request, contact [email protected]
To connect a Slave KVM to the Master KVM, the above cable connects to the first
available CPU port of the Master KVM and to the “KVM-1” port of the Slave
KVM.
The Master KVM will need changes made to the set up, please refer to the
accompanying User Manual for the details.

9 - Important notes when Cascading
Port numbering convention:
The Slave ports are always counted first. That is, in a configuration where an 8
port Master has a 16 port Slave connected to both its CPU port 1 and port 2, the
port numbering convention in the On Screen Display menus and for accessing the
ports is as follows:
Ports 1 to 16
Ports 17 to 32
Ports 33 to 38
CPU ports 1 to 16 of the Slave KVM connected to CPU port 1
of the Master KVM
CPU ports 1 to 16 of the Slave KVM connected to CPU port 2
of the Master KVM.
CPU ports 3 to 8 of the Master KVM
Accessing beyond port 16 in the menus
When accessing either the Server’s menu (Ctrl + Esc) or the Configuration menu
(Ctrl + F12) you will only see Ports 1 to 16 displayed. To get beyond Port 16, use
the page down (PgDn) key, this will display ports 17 to 32. To get beyond this,
use the page down (PgDn) key again, this will display ports 33 to 48 and so on.
To go back a level use the page up (PgUp) key
Configuring ports in a Cascaded environment
Each port with a server connected will need to be configured as described
earlier in this document to ensure the correct keyboard and country-code
settings are applied when the servers are accessed.
To configure ports beyond port 16, use the page down (PgDn) and page up
(PgUp) keys as described above.
