Expanding switchable signals
You can expand a computer’s or a console’s switchable signals through channel
grouping .
The web application lets you assign up to seven additional video channels and one
USB 2.0 or RS 232 channel to the KVM channel of the console.
You can assign up to seven additional video channels to the KVM channel of the com-
puter, too. In addition, you can create a pool of four devices for the USB 2.0/RS 232
channel.
By using pools, you can grant up to four users the right to access the USB 2.0/
RS 232 channel at the same time . For this, the matrix switch selects an available device
from the pool after switching.
Assigning multiple channels to a console or computer creates a channel group .
Detailed information on channel grouping can be retrieved in the web application
manual.
EXAMPLE:
To transmit a second video signal and a USB 2.0 signal of the same
computer, in addition to the DVI-CPU computer module, connect a second DVI-CPU
module (second video channel) and a U2+R-CPU module (USB2.0/RS232) to the
computer.
In addition to the
DVI-CON console module, connect the DVI-CON-Video (second
video channel) and a U2+R-CON module (USB2.0/RS232) to the console, the
aforementioned computer is accessing.
NOTE: Within the channel groups of the console a USB 2.0/RS 232 channel or a
multi-channel represent one single device. For computers such a channel repre-
sents a group of up to four devices.
NOTE:
The OSD does not show any console or computer modules that you added
as additional channels to the channel group.
