Hardware Setup
Overview
For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing PS/2 and USB interfaces,
the RM-KB-LCD17x8/16KVM design utilizes custom KVM cables that serve
as intermediaries between the KVM switch and the connected computers.
A separate custom KVM cable is required for each computer connection.
Consult your dealer to find out which custom KVM cables best fit your needs.
