A
Console
is a collective term for a set of peripheral devices arranged around one or more
DDX-USR modules. This page lists all registered consoles:
In addition to the
Name
and
Description
, other columns provide the following details and
options for each console entry:
• Ports
- each DDX-USR module connects to a single port on the DDX switch. This
column lists the port(s) used by the DDX-USR module(s) associated with each
console. Two or more DDX-USR modules can be combined to form multi-head
consoles, each connecting to separate ports.
Note: For consoles with multiple displays (multi-head), additional user console ports are
required. If there are no spare user console ports available then any unused computer ports
on the rear panel can be deleted in order to free them up as spares. See
Reallocating ports
.
• OSD Mouse Launch -
when set to On, allows the console user to invoke the on Screen
Display by holding down their center mouse button and then clicking the right button.
• Connected Computer
- shows to which computer the console is currently connected.
• Current Access Mode
- indicates how the console is currently connected to the listed
computer:
= View only,
= Shared access, = Exclusive, = Private
• Tick box
- Allows you to tick all required console entries and then remove them
collectively using the Delete Selected button.
Add new
Click the [+] icon to begin adding a new console, either before or after
connecting the DDX-USR module(s):
• Name
- the main identifier for the new console.
• Description
- a further opportunity to add more information.
• OSD Mouse Launch -
(see description left).
• Port
- add the port number (located on the main DDX switch) used by the
DDX-USR module associated with this console. For multi-head consoles,
ensure that the port used by the primary DDX-USR module (the one that
has the primary display and peripherals attached) is the first one to be
defined. If a chosen port is already used, a warning will be displayed, see
Reallocating ports
.
• Access Permissions
- click the [+] button to select one or more computers
that this console will be permitted to access. For each computer choose
the appropriate access permissions (see
Access permissions
):
= View
only,
= Shared access, = Exclusive, = Private
• Add Console
