SV1631DUTP in a signal stage installation (eight and sixteen respectively), up to 31 additional switches can be cascaded from the KVM ports
of the SV831DUTP / SV1631DUTP. As many as 512 computers can be
controlled from a single console in a complete installation.
Tables showing the relation between the number of computers and the
number of SV831DUTP or SV1631DUTP units needed to control them
are provided on page 40. To set up a daisy chained installation, do the
following:
Use a Straight Through DB25 M/F cable ( see StarTech.com part num- 1.
bers SC6MF or SC10MF) to connect the Chain Out port of the parent
SV831DUTP / SV1631DUTP unit to the Chain In port of the child
SV831DUTP / SV1631DUTP unit (First Station Out to Second
Station In, Second Station Out to Third Station In, etc.).
Please Note: You cannot use the Chain In port of the First Station, since
it is the highest level parent.
Use Cat. 5 cable to connect any available KVM port to the appropriate 1.
KVM Adapter Cable.
Please Note: The SV831DUTP / SV1631DUTP does not support
distances between itself and the KVM Adapter Cable that exceed 40 m
(130’)
Connect the KVM Adapter Cable to the computer.1.
Use the power cord supplied with this package to connect the 2.
SV831DUTP / SV1631DUTP to an AC power source.
Repeat steps 1–4 for any other switches you wish to add to the chain.3.
Power up the installation according to the following procedure: 4.
a) Plug in the power adapter for the First Station. Wait for the unit to
determine its Station ID and display it on the Station ID LED. (The
Station ID for the First Stage unit is 01, the ID for the Second Stage
unit is 02, the ID for the Third Stage unit is 03, etc.)
b) Power on each station on the installation in turn (Second Station,
then Third Station, etc.). In each case, wait for the Station ID to be

Basic Operation
Port Selection
SV831DUTP / SV1631DUTP installations provide three ways to obtain
instant access to any computer in your installation: Manual, OSD, and
Hotkey.
Manual
For manual port selection, simply press the Port Switch that corresponds
with the device you want to access. For cascaded switches, first press
the Port Switch on the parent unit that the cascaded switch is connected
to, then press the Port Switch on the cascaded switch that corresponds to
the device you wish to access.
OSD
OSD (On Screen Display), provides menu-driven computer switching.
Hotkey
Hotkeys allow you to conveniently direct KVM focus to a particular
computer from the keyboard, instead of having to manually select the
computer by pressing Port Selection switches.
Hot Plugging
SV831DUTP / SV1631DUTP supports hot plugging, allowing components
to be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging and
re-plugging their cables from their ports without having to shut the unit
down. In order for hot plugging to work properly, however, the procedures
described on the following page must be followed:
Hot Plugging Stations
You can switch station positions by simply unplugging from the old parent
Instruction Manual
14
and plugging into a new one. Following this, in order for the OSD menus
to accordingly reflect the change, you must reset the OSD. See RESET
STATION IDS, page 24, for details.
Hot Plugging KVM Ports
After switching KVM ports, in order for the OSD menus to accurately
reflect the change, you must manually reconfigure the OSD information
for the new Port information. See F3 SET, page 19, and the Port Setting
selections under the F4 ADM function, page 21, for details.
Please Note: If the computer’s Operating System doesn’t support hot
plugging, this function may not work properly.
Hot Plugging Console Ports
Keyboard, monitor, and mouse can all be hot plugged. When hot plugging
the mouse:
You may unplug the mouse and plug it back in again (to reset the •
mouse, for example), as long as you use the same mouse.
If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers •
on the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted
following the Power Up Sequence described on page 9.)
Please Note: If, after hot plugging (or at any other time), there is no
response to keyboard and/or mouse input, perform a Keyboard and
Mouse Reset by pressing in the Reset switch (see #3, page 3).
Powering O and Restarting
If it becomes necessary to power off the switch, or if the switch loses
power and needs to be restarted, before re-starting you must follow these
procedures:
Shut down all the computers that are attached to the switch. 1. Note: You
must unplug the power cords of any computers that have the Keyboard
Power On function.
Wait 10 seconds then power the switch back on. If you have shut down 2.
Instruction Manual
15
more than one station, power up the highest station first and work your
way down to the lowest station. Wait for each station to display its
Station ID on the front panel LED before powering on the subsequent
station.
After the station(s) is (are) up, power the computers back on. 3.
Port ID Numbering
Each computer on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port
ID is a one or two segment number determined by the Stage Level and
KVM Port number of the KVM switch to which the computer is connected.
The first segment represents the KVM Port number of the First Stage
unit, the second segment represents the KVM Port number of the Second
Stage unit.
A computer attached to a First Stage unit has a one segment Port ID
(from 1-16) corresponding with the KVM Port number to which it is connected.
A computer attached to a Second Stage unit has a two segment Port ID:
The second segment (from 1-8), represents the KVM Port number on •
the Second Stage unit to which the computer is connected. The first
segment (from 1-16) represents the KVM Port number on the First
Stage unit to which the Second Stage unit is linked.
As an example, a Port ID of 12 - 3 refers to a computer connected to
KVM Port 3 of a Second Stage unit that links back to KVM Port 12 of
the First Stage unit.
