Switch Installation – Multiple units – “RING” topology

A “RING” configuration is usually used when the users are connected to different UltraMatrix switches and need access to all computers. In a “RING” configuration, users on any KVM station in the ring can access all the computers in the system on a first-come-first-serve basis.

Figure 5. Ring configuration

The Units in Figure 5 can be any UltraMatrix model

The “RING” installation procedure is very similar to installing a “BUS” configuration with the exception of removing jumper JP1 on the expansion cards on two Units and adding an expansion cable(s) from the first Unit to the last Unit. This additional expansion cable(s) from the first Unit to the last Unit creates the “RING”.

In the example used in Figure 5, removing jumper JP1 on Unit #1 and #3 divides the total ring cable length approximately in half. Unit #3 (IN) to Unit #1 (OUT) = 20’

Unit #3(OUT) to Unit #2 (IN), Unit #2 (OUT) to Unit #1 (IN) = 20’.

All Units must be equipped with an expansion card(s).
