Introduction

Overview

The KH0116 KVM Switch is a control units that allow access to multiple computers from a single KVM (keyboard, monitor, and mouse) console. Before the development of sophisticated KVM switches, the only way to control large-scale multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system. Now, with the KH0116, you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective manner.

A single KH0116 can control up to 16 computers. As many as 31 additional KH0116 can be daisy chained to each other, so that up to 512 computers can all be controlled from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console.

A custom ASIC (patent pending) provides an auto-sensing function that recognizes the position of each station on the chain, eliminating the need to manually set the position with DIP switches. A seven segment front panel LED displays each Station's position for easy identification.

For further convenience, the KH0116 features high density 15 pin connectors instead of the usual 25 pin connectors. This space-saving innovation allows a full, 16 port switch, to be installed in a 1U system rack.

Your KH0116 investment is protected by an included Firmware Upgrade Utility. You can stay current with the latest functionality improvements by downloading firmware update files from our website as they become available, and using the utility to quickly and conveniently perform the upgrade.

Setting up the KH0116 is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. Because the KH0116 intercepts keyboard input directly, there is no software to configure, so there is no need to get involved in complex installation routines or be concerned with incompatibility problems.

KH0116 User Manual

Access to any computer on the installation is easily accomplished either by entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or by means of a powerful menu driven OSD (On Screen Display) system. A convenient Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and one-by-one monitoring of the activities of selected computers on the installation.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a KH0116 installation. By allowing a single console to manage all the attached computers, a KH0116 installation: (1) eliminates the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each computer; (2) saves all the space those extra components would take up; (3) saves on energy costs; and (4) eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving from one computer to another.

Normally, both consoles can access the KH0116. Clicking the Disable Remote button to the In position disables the Remote Console – only the Local Console has access to the switch.

Details on using the KH0116 with the CE-250 KVM Extender system are provided on page 13.

This area consists of two components: The Firmware Upgrade Port; and the Firmware Upgrade Reset Switch.

 The Firmware Upgrade Cable that transfers the

firmware upgrade data from the administrator's computer to the KH0116 (see p. 42), plugs into the Firmware Upgrade Port's RJ-11 connector.

 During normal operation and while performing a

firmware upgrade, this switch should be in the NORMAL position. If a firmware upgrade operation does not complete successfully, slide this switch to the RECOVER position and do a warm reset to return the switch to its prior firmware state.

After returning the switch to its prior firmware state, slide the switch back to the NORMAL position to attempt the firmware upgrade again, or to use the switch with its prior firmware.

5 Power LED Lights to indicate that the KH0116 is powered up and

ready to operate.

6 Station ID LED The KH0116's Station ID is displayed here. If this is a

Single Station installation (see p. 10), or the First Station on a Daisy Chained installation (see p. 11), the KH0116 has a Station ID of 01. On a Daisy Chained installation, the KH0116 auto-senses its position and displays the Station ID that corresponds to its place in the chain. (see Port ID Numbering, p. 17 for details).
