Configuring the DDC table
The Display Data Channel (DDC), specified by Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA),
is a communication interface between a server display, such as a monitor or IQ module, and a host
system, such as PC or workstation. You can choose to use the default DDC table or nVidia
DDC table.
CAUTION: If you are unsure of what DDC table is needed for your system, do not change the DDC table setting.
Contact your system administrator or Avocent Technical Support for more information about configuring the
DDC table.
To configure the DDC table:
1. Press the default Command Line hotkey sequence to display the Command Line.
2. Type ddctable ‘[servername]’ default and press Enter to set the IQ module with the specified
servername to use the default DDC table.
3. Type
ddctable ‘[servername]’ nVidia
and press
Enter
to set the IQ module with the specified
servername to use the nVidia DDC table.
NOTE: The servername is the name of the IQ module and should be entered exactly as it displays in the target
list. Single quotes are required before and after the servername. The following is an example of the command for
a typical configuration DDC table: ddctable ‘Server 43’ nVidia.
Forcing a Connection to a Target Device
From the user station, you can force any user station in the switching system to connect to a target
device. The host user station sends force connect and disconnect commands. When using Serial
Force mode, the host user station must be connected to the serial device. The target user station
receives the command and force connects to or disconnect from a target device. Any user station in
the switching system, including the host, may act as the target user station.
