Expanding switchable signals
You can expand a computer’s or a console’s switchable signals either through port
grouping or stacking.
With the DVICenter, you can switch various computer modules of one computer or
various user modules of one console at the same time.
To expand the switchable signals, you can use two different ways of connection:
Port grouping:
In the Config Panel web application, you can assign the KVM channel
of a computer or console with up to seven additional video channels and a USB or
RS232 channel.
Stacking:
In Stacking mode, you can switch multiple matrix switches at the same
time. Connect multiple matrix switches to the
Bus
ports. Connect an additional satel-
lite matrix switch for each additional user module of one console.
Expanding through port grouping
In the Config Panel web application, you can assign up to seven additional video chan-
nels and a USB or RS232 channel to a computer’s or a console’s KVM channel.
Assigning multiple ports to a console or computer creates a multichannel configuration.
EXAMPLE:
To transmit a second video signal and a USB 2.0 signal of the same
computer, in addition to the
DVI-CPU
computer module, connect a second
DVI-CPU
module (second video channel) and a
U2-CPU
module (USB2.0/RS232) to the
computer.
In addition to the
DVI-CON
user module, connect the
DVI-CON-Video
(second video
channel) and a
U2-CPU
module (USB2.0/RS232) to the console, the aforemen-
tioned computer is accessing.
NOTE:
Only in this mode, you can hold the USB signal using the OSD’s
Operation
menu at the currently accessed computer. If you switch to another computer after
pressing the hold function, the USB signal remains on the computer that you
accessed first.
After disabling the hold function on the
Operation
menu, the USB signal switches to
the currently accessed computer.
NOTE:
The OSD does not show any user or computer modules that you added as
additional channels to the multichannel configuration.
