4.6 Extender Settings
All extender units are managed in this menu. This also contains the creation of
new extender units and the deletion of existing extender units.
The extender unit describes the connection of a physical extender to the matrix.
Every extender board with a direct cable connection to the matrix is recognized
as an extender unit. Dual-head KVM extenders will be recognized as two
independent extender units.
NOTE: KVM extenders automatically create extender units inside the matrix.
To access the menu, use OSD or Java:
