Orion Extender Installation and Operation Manual

Working with the DDC Information File
The DDC information file, “
DDC-EDID.bin
”, can be found on the “
Extender
” flash drive, as described at the
beginning of this section.
Retrieving DDC Information
Copy the "
DDC-EDID.bin
" file from the flash drive of the Transmitter unit to the computer. To open the binary
file, a suitable software program, e.g. WinDDCwrite, should be installed. Care should be taken that valid
information is entered in the file, or the unit may not function correctly.
Uploading DDC Information
Copy the modified “
DDC-EDID.bin
” file to the flash drive of the Transmitter unit or Receiver unit. This replaces
the DDC information in the unit.
Reset to Factory DDC Information
Delete the "
DDC-EDID.bin
" file on the flash drive of the Transmitter unit. By deleting this file, the factory DDC
Information is restored.
USB-HID Ghosting
The USB-HID Ghosting function allows specific keyboard and mice descriptors (device descriptions) to be
permanently stored in the Transmitter. This eliminates the need to register and deregister the keyboard and
mouse on an operating system each time there is a shared use of a source (computer, CPU) by two or more
KVM consoles.
The following table lists the ‘Hot Key’ commands use to configure the USB-HID Ghosting function:
Keyboard Command
Function
<'Hot Key'>, <h>, <w>, <Enter> Writes the device descriptors of the input devices connected to the
Receiver into the Transmitter. Activates the emulation in the Transmitter.
<'Hot Key'>, <h>, <e>, <Enter>
Activates the emulation of already stored device descriptors in the
Transmitter.
<'Hot Key'>, <h>, <r>, <Enter>
Deactivates the emulation of active device descriptors in the Transmitter.
Removes the descriptors from the Transmitter. The input devices
connected to the Receiver will be now passed transparently to the source
(computer, CPU).
<'Hot Key'>, <h>, <d>, <Enter>
Deactivates the emulation of active device descriptors in the Transmitter.
Descriptors are not removed from the Transmitter. The input devices
connected to the Receiver will be now passed transparently to the source
(computer, CPU).

Note:
When using a USB composite device as a USB-HID input device, switching to a Transmitter with
activated USB-HID Ghosting may result in limited functionality.
