Connecting “Slave” units
To properly install the Slave units, follow the below steps.
Step: (Refer to Figure 9)
1. Connect the KVM stations keyboard, monitor, and mouse to the master
units KVM connector using the appropriate KVM cable.
2. Connect CPU port #1 and the video ports on the master unit to the KVM
connector and video ports on Slave unit #1 using a DB25 to DB25
expansion cable.
3. Connect the next sequential CPU and video ports on the master unit to
the KVM connector on the next sequential Slave unit.
4. Connect the remaining Slave units to the master unit.
Connecting the computers
When all “Slave” units have been connected, the computers can be
connected. The following installation steps use the example inFigure 9.
The computers are installed on the 2-port and 8-port model in a similar
manor. It is recommended that the computers being connected be powered
off. If removing power is not feasible, perform the pre-configuration
procedure, if needed, before connecting a computer with power applied.
Steps:
1. Apply power to all ServSwitch MultiVideo and the KVM monitors.
2. Switch to the CPU port the computer is being connected to by pressing
and releasing the left control [Ctrl] key, type in the CPU port number
(starting with port #1), and press [Enter].
3. Connect the computer to the CPU port using the appropriate CPU
cable. If the computer being connected does not use a PC mode 2
keyboard and a PS/2 mouse, or is being connected with power applied,
pre-configure the CPU port, if needed, before connecting the computer.
Change the default keyboard and mouse from a PC mode 2 keyboard
and a PS/2 mouse to the correct ones the computer uses. If the
computer being connected uses a PC mode 2 keyboard and a PS/2
mouse, skip the pre-configuration procedure and connect the computer
to the assigned CPU port.
NOTE: Connecting a computer’s keyboard and mouse to the ServSwitch
MultiVideo with power applied to the computer should only be done if the
keyboard and mouse can be disconnected and re-connected without
affecting the interface.
Pre-configuration procedure
Issue the mode command to change the keyboard and issue the command
again to change the mouse type or issue a global mode command to
change all. Make sure the ServSwitch MultiVideo is connected to the
correct CPU port.
a. Select the correct keyboard type, if needed, from Table 4.
b. Issue the “Set mode” command. (Ctrl,Mnn,[Enter])
Example : If the keyboard is a PC mode 3 keyboard, the command
would be Ctrl,M3,[Enter]
c. Select the correct mouse type, if needed, from Table 4.
