DDXI DVI/VGA KVM EXTENDER FAMILY
52
Appendix F: Audio/Serial Upgrade
The Audio/Serial Upgrade option consists of daughter boards that allow bi-directional
stereo audio and a full-duplex serial data link to be sent across the regular
interconnection cable in addition to keyboard, mouse and VGA/DVI video.
To set up the extender’s audio and serial link, please follow all of the instructions
detailed in this appendix. If you have any questions, contact Technical Support.
Serial Interface - Set Up and Operation
No setting up or user adjustments are required. Please note that on the Dual Access
model, the serial link is always active.
Please bear in mind that the Remote Unit’s serial port is wired as DTE (i.e. the same
as that on a PC). To connect a serial printer (or other DTE rather than DCE device)
to the Remote Unit, you will need a Null-Modem (crossover) cable between the
Remote Unit and the printer.
A serial touch screen may be plugged directly into the Remote Unit.
Serial Interface - Handling Multiple Serial Devices
The extender’s serial interface transmits/receives six signals (3 signals in each
direction). Normally four of these signals are used for hardware handshaking (in
addition to TX & RX). However, because each handshaking line can support signals
up to 19,200 Baud it is possible to configure the serial interface to handle up to three
simple 2-wire (Tx/Rx only) serial links. Select Xon/Xoff software flow control on the
remote device and PC.
To do this you will need to construct a custom breakout cable. Please contact
technical support for further information.
