Serial device support
The serial feature is available on the multi-platform models. The serial feature allows you to connect a KVM station to
a serial device such as the serial port on a Unix or Sun computer, a router or hub, or any compatible serial device.
The serial device is connected to the DB25F CPU port on the UltraMatrix Remote with a serial cable (See Appendix
B for serial cable part numbers). Any CPU port can be configured to be a serial port. When you switch to that port,
you are connected to the serial device and can access it as you normally would.
To configure a CPU port for a serial application, call up the main menu ([Ctrl] – F12), and then select computer and
press [Enter]. From the configure computer menu, use the up/down arrow keys to select the desired computer to
configure for serial, then use the left arrow key and select the keyboard field for the selected computer and press
[Enter]. A selection box will display listing the supported choices. Use the up/down arrow keys and select the serial
baud rate to configure the CPU port for and press [Enter]. Save the changes to flash memory. Once saved, that
CPU port is configured for serial support.
