HMX Extender System Installer/User Guide
Monitor requirements
Each monitor attached to a user station has to be capable of displaying the same resolution and
frequency that all the other monitors in the share group use.
NOTE: For Share Mode to operate in Desktop Mode, HMX Manager software version equal to or higher than
3.x.x.x is required.
Share Mode in Extender Mode
Share Mode will operate with the HMX user stations configured for Extender Mode. In Extender
Mode, normally there would not be an HMX Manager appliance in the system.
Configuring
In Extender Mode, Share Mode can be enabled from a menu in the transmitter’s serial console
menu. Enabling Share Mode gives the transmitter access to make a Share Mode connection with an
enabled user station. Once a transmitter is enabled for Share Mode, multiple user stations can
connect with the transmitter.
To enable Share Mode on the transmitter:
1. From the serial menu, press
2
to access the Transmitter Main Menu and press
Enter
. If the
password option is enabled, you will be prompted for a password.
2. Press
7
to access the Console Settings Menu and press
Enter
. The Console Settings Menu will
display.
