The AlterPath KVM Expander is designed to connect to the primary KVM/net 
to increase the number of ports that a primary KVM/net can manage. 

Note: The AlterPath KVM Expander is compatible with the KVM, the KVM/net, 

and the KVM/netPlus. The term primary KVM unit refers to the three types of 
KVM units.

The KVM Expander has no CPU, memory, or Flash; therefore, it relies on the 
intelligence of the primary KVM unit to control its KVM ports, making for a 
simple processing core as well as a cost-effective method of cascading a 
KVM/net, a KVM/net, or a KVM/netPlus.
