2. Installation
To cascade multiple switches:
1.
Attach one end of a CAT 5 cable to a target port on the KVM s4 switch.
2.
Connect the other end of the CAT 5 cable to the ACI port (chain link icon) on
the back of your cascaded KVM s4 switch.
3.
Connect the devices to your cascaded KVM s4 switch.
4.
Repeat these steps for all the cascaded KVM s4 switches you wish to attach
to your system.
The system will automatically "merge" the two switches. All devices connected to the
cascaded switches will display on the main switch device list in the local UI.
The switch supports one cascaded switch per target port of the main switch. You cannot
attach more switches to the cascaded switch.
Local port cascading is not supported on KVM s4.

Configuring KVM s4 Switches
Once all physical connections have been made, you will need to configure the
switch for use in the overall switch system. This can be accomplished in two
ways.
To configure the switch using DSView 3 software:
See the DSView 3 Installer/User Guide for detailed instructions.
To configure the switch using the local UI:
See "Network Settings" on page 29 for detailed instructions on using the local UI
to configure initial network setup.
Setting up the built-in web server
You can access the switch via an embedded web server that handles most day-
to-day switch tasks. Before using the web server to access the switch, first specify
an IP address through the local port on the back panel of the switch or local UI.
Connecting to the OBWI through a firewall
For switch installations that use the OBWI for access, the following ports must be
opened in a firewall if outside access is desired.
