Steps 3-9 route the video from all units to the KVM #1 and KVM #2 ports on Unit #1. Now the reverse must be performed to route the video from all units to KVM #3 and KVM #4 ports on the last unit.

(Refer to Figure 6)

For the steps below, the example in Figure 6 is used. Unit #3 is the last unit in the configuration, Unit #2, the next to last unit and so on.

From: Unit #2’s upper “OUT” expansion card connector,

To: Unit #3’s upper “IN” top expansion card connector.

13.Cable in the remaining switches as explained in step 12 from the upper “OUT” connector to the upper “IN” connector.

14.Verify that the status screen report correctly.

Steps 10-14 complete the expansion cabling for a “Split Bus” configuration. KVMs connected to Unit #1, KVM #1 and #2 can access all computers in the system. KVMs connected to the last unit’s KVM #3 and KVM #4 can access all computers in the system.

Next, connect the computers to the UltraMatrix switches.

15.Switch the KVM station to CPU port #1 on Unit #1 by pressing and releasing the left control [Ctrl] key, type in “1” and press [Enter].
