USB support
NOTE:
Check with Black Box Tech Support for vUSB support on DTX5001.
USB keyboards, mice, mass storage devices and other types of USB devices are fully
supported along with the following:
• Any keyboard (up to 109 keys)
• 2, 3 and 5-button mice with scroll and tilt-wheel capability. Composite mouse
and keyboard devices are also supported.
• One CD and DVD/ROM drive or thumb drives
• Other non-isochronous USB devices such as printers, touch screens, smart card
readers, and pen tablets
NOTE:
The DTX system does not support isochronous USB devices such as speakers or web cams.
Support for mass storage devices is provided on the DTX5000-R, DTX5001-R and
DTX5002-R user stations with no user intervention. Support for other USB devices is
provided on the DTX5002-R user station automatically, but can be overridden by the user.
In a DTX user station, the first device that is not keyboard, mouse or mass storage is
assigned to the Virtual USB channel (vUSB channel) and passed to the remote computer.
In the event you want to use the vUSB channel for a keyboard or mouse, the OSD allows
the default vUSB device to be disabled and a keyboard or mouse to be assigned to that
vUSB channel.
NOTE:
During normal operation, this would not be needed. The vUSB channel will only be used for devices other
than the standard keyboard, mouse and mass storage devices.
Default support for other USB devices in the DTX5000-R user station is provided in place
of support for a mass storage device. If you need to use mass storage in place of another
vUSB device, go to www.blackbox.com and download the applicable user station
firmware upgrade.
The DTX5002-R user station has the ability to support one mass storage device and one
other type of USB device. These other devices include touch screens, pen tablets, smart
card readers and printers.
NOTE:
A hub cannot be used to expand the number of USB ports available.
The DTX5000-T transmitter provides two USB interfaces:
• One port is low speed while the second video port is set to full speed. These ports are
used for all keyboard and mouse peripheral devices interfacing with the target
workstation, along with providing power for the DTX5000-T transmitter.
•
The other is a high-speed port that is used for virtual media (mass storage
devices) peripheral devices or other USB devices interfacing with the target
workstation, along with providing power for the
transmitter.
