ULTRAMATRIX REMOTE INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

Switch Installation – Multiple units – “BUS” topology
A “BUS” configuration is usually used when all the users are connected to the KVM ports on Unit #1. In a “BUS”
configuration, (Figure 15) the video path is from the last Unit in the configuration to the first Unit (“OUT” to “IN”). KVM
users on the first Unit can access all computers on all Units. Users connected to Unit #2 can only access computers
on Unit #2, 3, etc.
The connection to the network can be done at this time but it is not necessary to install multiple units.
Figure 15. Bus installation
The Units can be any UltraMatrix Remote model or other Rose Electronics KVM switches
Upper expansion card and cabling are on the 4 user model only.
The “BUS” installation procedure is very similar to the single Unit installation with the addition of connecting the
expansion cables and changing two configuration parameters, the “Starting computer” number and the “Maximum
computers” number. All Units in the system must have an expansion card(s) with a jumper installed on JP1.
(NOTE: Jumper JP1 is factory installed on all expansion cards)
