TX USB Settings
Enable Dummy Boot Keyboard
When ticked, the TX unit reports a virtual dummy boot keyboard to the attached PC to ensure that a
keyboard is always reported when the PC boots up. The dummy boot keyboard uses one of the 13 USB
endpoints, therefore if all 13 endpoints are required elsewhere for USB devices (or a KVM switch only supports
two HID devices) then it can be disabled by deselecting this option. See also
Reserved Port Range
below.
Disable Hi-Speed
This option allows you to force the system to run at the low/full USB speed of 12Mb/s, thus forcing USB 2.0 Hi-
Speed devices to adapt to the lower rate.
Hub Size
Using this option you can select whether the transmitter should report itself as a 13 or a 7 port USB hub.
Some USB hosts are only able to support 7 port USB hubs. If this option is set to 7, then only 7 USB devices
are supported by the PC.
Reserved Port Range
For some devices, e.g. touch screens, you may wish to ensure that they are always reported to the same USB
port number so that the USB driver will always find the device. This option allows you reserve up to 8 ports
for certain devices. At the RX unit, the devices are assigned to the reserved ports. If a port reservation is to be
applied, then the dummy boot keyboard should be disabled. The default value for this option is ‘0’, i.e.
disabled
.
See
Port Reservation
on RX unit for further details.
TX Security
Encryption
This setting allows you to apply encryption to the USB and control data passed across the link. Note that video
data is never encrypted.
Secure Web pages with password
When ticked, this option enables https security so that the configuration pages are only accessible to the admin
user with a password.
