Cabling

KVM stations, computers and servers are easily connected to the UltraMatrix switch with the proper cables. Provide adequate strain relief for the CPU, KVM, and expansion cables to relieve excess tension on the connectors.

Avoid routing cables close to fluorescent lights, air compressors, high voltage power sources and machinery that may create electrical noise or interference that may interfere with the operation of the UltraMatrix switch.

System security

Security is a very important concern especially in the environment most UltraMatrix switches are commonly installed in, such as data centers and server rooms. The UltraMatrix system can be secured with a unique configuration password allowing only authorized personnel access to the menus and the system set-up functions, including creating and assigning users, groups, and profiles.

The KVM stations can also be secured by assigning user access names and passwords that restrict access to certain computers or servers that contain sensitive information or restricted applications.

Other security functions include the flexibility of assigning certain computers to a unique Group. This feature allows you to group computers together for access by defined “Profiles”. These profiles can be set-up to define the way computers within a “Group” are accessed.

The security functions, “Users”, “Profiles”, and “Groups” are configured from the main configuration menu and when set-up, form a flexible, reliable, and secure system. These functions are explained in detail in the menu section and the site planning section.
