Configuring the DDC table

The Display Data Channel (DDC), specified by Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA), is a communication interface between a server display, such as a monitor or IQ module, and a host system, such as PC or workstation. You can choose to use the default DDC table or nVidia DDC table.

CAUTION: If you are unsure of what DDC table is needed for your system, do not change the DDC table setting. Contact your system administrator or Avocent Technical Support for more information about configuring the DDC table.

To configure the DDC table:

1.Press the default Command Line hotkey sequence to display the Command Line.

2.Type ddctable ‘[servername]’ default and press Enter to set the IQ module with the specified servername to use the default DDC table.

3.Type ddctable ‘[servername]’ nVidia and press Enter to set the IQ module with the specified servername to use the nVidia DDC table.

NOTE: The servername is the name of the IQ module and should be entered exactly as it displays in the target list. Single quotes are required before and after the servername. The following is an example of the command for a typical configuration DDC table: ddctable ‘Server 43’ nVidia.
