Chapter 1. Introduction Overview The KL1116 KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single KVM (keyboard, monitor, and mouse), console. Before the development of the Master View, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system.
available, and using the utility to quickly and conveniently perform the upgrade. Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables in to their appropriate ports is all that is entailed.
Features ! Integrated KVM console with 15" or 17" LCD monitor - in a Hideaway ™ housing. ! Hideaway ™ housing is slightly less than 1U - with top and bottom clearance for smooth operation in a 1U high system rack.
Hardware Requirements Computers The integrated LCD monitor’s maximum resolution is 1024 x 768 (15") or 1280 x 1024 (17"). Make sure that none of the computer resolution settings exceed the LCD monitor’s maximum resolution. Cables Substandard cables may damage the c onnected devices or degrade overall performance.

Chapter 2. Installation Before you Begin Standard Rack Mounting A standard rack mounting kit is provided with your KL1116. The kit enables the switch to be mounted in rack with a depth of 42 - 77 cm. Note: It takes two people to mount the switch: one to hold it in place; the other to screw it in.
To rack mount the switch, do the following: 1. While one person positions the switch in the rack and holds it in place, the second person - using the screws provided with the rack mounting kit - loosely screws the front brackets to the rack.
Single Stage Installation In a Single Stage installation, there are no additional switches daisy chained down from the first unit. To set up a single stage installation, refer to the installation diagram on the next page (the numbers in the diagram correspond to the numbers of the installation steps), and do the following: 1.

Daisy Chaining To control even more computers, up to 31 KH0116 units can be daisy chained down from the KL1116. Note: It would be unnecessarily wasteful and expensive to use KL1116 switches for daisy chaining since there is no point in having consoles on the chained switches.
5. Power up the installation according to the following procedure: a. Power on the First Station (KL1116). Wait a few seconds for the unit to ascertain its Station ID. b. Power up each daisy chained Station on the installation in turn (Sec- ond Station, then Third Station, etc.
Chapter 3. Basic Operation Opening the Console The KL1116’s console consists of two modules: An LCD display module located under the top cover; and a keyboard / touchpad module below the LCD module. The modules can either slide together, or independently.
Opening Separately 1. Release the LCD module by pulling the release catch into the handle as you pull the module toward you. 2. Pull the top panel all the way out until it clicks into place.
3. Rotate the top panel all the way back to expose the LCD screen. 4. Reach underneath and pull the keyboard module all the way out until it clicks into place.
Opening Together Refer to the diagrams in the Opening Separately section as you do the following: 1. Release the console by sliding the front panel catches toward the center and as you pull the bottom panel a few centimeters toward you. Once the console has been released, you can let go of the catches.
Operating Precautions RIGHT Rest your hands and arms lightly on the keyboard module as you work. WRONG! ! DO NOT lean your body weight on the keyboard module. ! DO NOT place heavy objects on the keyboard module. The maximum load bearing capacity of the keyboard module is 30kg.
