Creating Flex-Port Extender Units
Extenders with ID function are automatically recognized by the system and cannot be created manually.
They were used at so called Flex-Ports at the matrix.
Note:
The connection of fixed port extender unit (e. g. USB 2.0) to a Flex-Port can cause unintended
results.
Creating Fixed Port Extender Units
To create a new fixed-port extender unit (e.g. USB 2.0), proceed as follows:
1. Press the
New
button.
2. Select whether a template of a USB 2.0 CON unit (
USB CON Unit
) or USB 2.0 CPU unit (
USB
CPU Unit
) should be used.
3. Press the
OK
button.
4. Determine a port at the matrix that should be used with the USB 2.0 extender unit (
Fixed Port
).
The name of the USB 2.0 extender unit can also be changed (
Name
).
5. Press the
Apply
button to save the new extender unit.
Created extender units are always set as fixed port extender. These configurations are required to switch
USB 2.0 connections via the matrix.
