Power interruption to the UltraView
Certain keyboards are sensitive to rapid cycling of the power. Since power
to the keyboard is provided from the UltraView, you should not interrupt
power to the UltraView for less than three seconds. The UltraView is
immune to such transients, but the keyboard may not reset correctly.
Using the RS232 port
For your convenience, a computer or terminal can be connected to the
RS232 serial port on the unit’s rear panel. This allows you to send switching
commands from your computer’s serial port or to load new flash firmware.
You will need serial cabling with 4-pin or 6-pin RJ jacks, and the appropriate
adapter (either DB-25 female to RJ11/12 female or DB-9 female to RJ11/12
female, depending upon your equipment). These adapters are available
from Rose Electronics.
1.
Insert the RJ cable between the RS232 serial port on UltraView’s rear
panel, and the RJ female connector of the appropriate adapter.
2.
Connect the adapter to one of the computer’s (or terminal’s) COM
ports.
3.
Set your computer at 9600 baud, no parity, 8 bits, 1 stop-bit.
4.
To switch ports, enter the 1-3 digit port number followed by enter:
xxx<Enter>.
WARNING: Serial cabling in excess of 50 feet should be routed
with caution. The maximum cable length depends upon the con-
struction of the cable and its routing. For extended runs, shielded
cable should be used. Avoid routing near fluorescent lights, air
conditioning compressors, or machines that may create electrical
noise. If you experience data error, use shorter cables.
Rackmount kit
The rackmount kit is an optional item that can be ordered at any time. Your
UltraView unit is designed to accept rack mount brackets that attach to the
sides of the UltraView unit. There are three sizes available 19" by 1.75", 23"
by 1.75", and 24" by 1.75". You must order the rack mount kit for the correct
chassis. See Appendix E for part numbers.
