WARNING:
Be aware, many of the commands in the advoli
TM
TB6 Standard
graphics card console is for advanced users of advoli products, and should generally not
be used by end users as it may render your product non-functioning. This document
describes the most used and useful commands for the advoli
TM
TB6 Standard graphics card that are safe
to use by the general public. Any other command not explicitly listed in this document under the heading
‘safe commands’, but may be shown in the images in this document or are available through the console
at time of use, should not be used. If you choose to use the additional advanced commands, you do so at
your own risk and you assume all responsibility of any consequence arising from such action.
Safe Commands:
+
Information
: Type ’Info’ or ‘i’
This command shows the status and current configuration of the advoli
TM
TB6 Standard graphics card.
+
Signal Quality:
Type ‘val’ or ‘v’
This command is useful to show the connectivity and signal quality for each of the 6 channels. It will show
the cable length and bit error rate for each channel, and can be used to find faults in CAT cabling. Note that
each CAT cable has 4 pairs; P0, P1, P2, and P3. In addition to the above, this command shows the signal
integrity for each of the 4 pairs in the cable and for each of the channels active. This tool can be used to
troubleshoot and identify issues when channels are unable to connect or when connections are
intermittent.
+
EDID Configuration:
Type ‘edid’ or ‘e’
This command allows for customisation and ability to lock EDID configurations after the desired
combination of displays/projectors have been installed. Changes in order/configuration of displays/
projectors in the operating system happens when cables are disconnected or when new displays/projectors
are added. Locking the EDID configuration will prevent changes of EDID information and thereby prevent
display order/configuration changes in the operating system. This feature is valuable for servicing, when
replacing displays/projectors/cables or when cables are for whatever reason pulled out from displays/
projectors.
Each channel of the advoli
TM
TB6 Standard graphics card can have its own custom configuration, although
the most common configuration is to configure each channel with the same type of display/projector.
Auto Detect EDID vs Locked EDID:
Note in the image below that the type for each channel is “Type: a (auto)”

For the Auto Channel configuration removing monitors will not cause any event on the operating system,
and the advoli
TM
TB6 Standard graphics card will continue to present a removed monitor as if it is still
connected. This is useful to avoid any accidentally disconnected, broken, or missing displays/projectors
from causing the desktop of the operating system to be rearranged. However, in auto-mode, if a new
