How to use

Mount the CL5708N into a standard 19" rack using the included mounting brackets. Connect the console cables (keyboard, video, mouse) to the integrated console on the front panel, then connect KVM cables from the rear ports to each target computer. Power the unit and configure the scan interval and port settings according to operational needs. When daisy-chaining additional KVM switches, follow the manufacturer’s cabling sequence to ensure correct address assignment and reliable operation.

Recommendations

Place the CL5708N in a well-ventilated rack location and avoid obstructing airflow around the unit. Use certified KVM cabling for reliable signal transmission and label cables and ports to simplify management in multi-server environments. For large installations, plan daisy-chain topology and test port switching and scan intervals during off-peak hours.
