8.1 Downloading the EDID
In the delivery state, the factory-set EDID in the CPU Unit is reported to the source. If these are not the
optimal settings for the console monitor, the EDID can be loaded from the console monitor and stored in the
internal memory of the CPU Unit.
On extender modules with USB-HID ports, you can load the EDID of the console monitor via keyboard
command under operating conditions.
1. Enter the Hot Key to start the command mode (see chapter 5.1, page 65).
The
Caps Lock
and
Scroll Lock
LEDs on the keyboard are flashing.
2. Press a to load the EDID of the console monitor into the CPU Unit.
The screen will go black for a short time and the LEDs of the CPU Unit and CON Unit flash briefly.
At the same time the command mode is closed, and the keyboard LEDs return to previous status.
3. Restart the corresponding source.
The video mode has been readjusted. Screen quality should be optimal. The source should now show
the console monitor as the current screen, together with the available video resolutions.
If the EDID was loaded once, the EDID can be reloaded by repeating the process.
Keyboard commands are fixed to the position of the keys on the keyboard. Keyboard mapping tables may
vary for country-specific layouts.
E.g., press Hot Key + q on a French keyboard layout (AZERTY) instead of Hot Key + a to download the
EDID of the monitor connected to the CON Unit into the CPU Unit.
8.2 Switching between KVM and local Input
CON Units with local input have the possibility to connect a local source.
These extender modules allow an active manual switching between the extender module connection and
the local source.
When using the local KVM switch function, the add-on module L474-BXH is necessary to get USB-HID
access to the local source.
The following keyboard commands are available for switching at the following devices:
Keyboard command
Function
Hot Key, k, 1, Enter
Switch to the extender module connection 1
Hot Key, l, Enter

* For switching of redundant CON Units, see chapter 8.4, page 81.
