Chapter 2: Installation 17 1. Mount the switch into your rack. Locate a length of CAT 5 cabling to connect your LCM to the CO cable for your switch. 2. Attach one end of the CAT 5 cabling to the RJ45 connector on the CO cable. Attach a terminator to the second RJ45 connector on the CO. 3. Connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to a port on the back of your LCM. 4. Attach the keyboard, monitor and mouse connectors of the CO cable to a user port on your cascade switch. 5. Connect the servers to your switch according to the cascade switch manufacturer's recommendations. 6. Repeat steps 2-5 for all cascade switches to be attached to your system. To operate your LCM with a cascaded multi-user legacy switch: You can cascade a NetBAY 2x8 console switch under your RCM or LCM. In a cascaded configuration, the remote and analog workstations can both access servers attached to the cascaded switch. If both the remote and analog workstations want to access different servers on the switch at the same time, you can attach a KVM Conversion Option (KCO) cable to both user ports to avoid one user blocking the other.

1.
Mount the switch into your rack. Locate a length of CAT 5 cabling to
connect your LCM to the CO cable for your switch.
2.
Attach one end of the CAT 5 cabling to the RJ45 connector on the CO
cable. Attach a terminator to the second RJ45 connector on the CO.
3.
Connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to a port on the back of your LCM.
4.
Attach the keyboard, monitor and mouse connectors of the CO cable to a
user port on your cascade switch.
5.
Connect the servers to your switch according to the cascade switch
manufacturer’s recommendations.
6.
Repeat steps 2-5 for all cascade switches to be attached to your system.
To operate your LCM with a cascaded multi-user legacy switch:
You can cascade a NetBAY 2x8 console switch under your RCM or LCM.
In a cascaded configuration, the remote and analog workstations can both
access servers attached to the cascaded switch. If both the remote and analog
workstations want to access different servers on the switch at the same time,
you can attach a KVM Conversion Option (KCO) cable to both user ports to
avoid one user blocking the other.
