other users in the switching system. For illustrations of switching systems with a local
server, see Figure 3-2 on page 27.
To connect a local server to the Octet switch:
1. Choose an appropriate Octet server access module and insert the connectors into the
corresponding ports on the back of the server.
Some Octet server access modules also provide audio and serial connectors, which
may be left unconnected if this functionality is not required for the switching system.
2. Attach one end of a UTP cable into the RJ-45 port on your Octet server access mod-
ule. Attach the other end of the cable to an RJ-45 server port on the Octet user station.
3. Note the unique identifier (UID) on the back of the Octet server access module for
future reference.
3.8 Connecting a User Station for Switch Redundancy
You may attach a second Octet switch to KV1711-R2, KV1712-R2 or KV1713 user
station to benefit from switch redundancy in the event of a single switch failover. Figure
3-8 on page 36 illustrates attaching a second Octet switch to an Octet user station.
NOTE:
In a switch redundancy configuration, connection to a local server is not supported.
To connect a second Octet switch to a user station:
1. Attach one end of a UTP cable into an RJ-45 port on the Octet user station.
2. Attach the other end of the cable into an RJ-45 user port on the Octet switch.
NOTE:
In a dual matrix switch configuration, Port-1 of the user station is the default port used for connection and
configuration changes.
