INSTALLATION

Powering up the Systems:

Once all cables have been connected, power up the computers that are attached to the MATRIX2. All computers can be powered on simultaneously. The MATRIX2 emulates both a mouse and keyboard on each port and allows your computer to boot normally.

The computer connected to port “1” will be displayed on the monitor. Check to see that the keyboard, monitor, and mouse are working normally. Proceed to do this with all occupied ports to verify that all computers are connected and responding correctly. If you encounter an error, check your cable connections for that computer and reboot. If the problem persists, please refer to the “Troubleshooting” section in this manual.

USING YOUR MATRIX2

Now that you have connected your Console and computers to your MATRIX2, it is ready for use.

For fast and easy identification, each of the two Consoles are color-coded: “Console A” in amber and “Console B” in green.

Select connected computers either by using the direct-access port selectors located on the front panel of the MATRIX2, On-Screen Display menu, or by using hot key commands through the Console keyboard. It takes approximately two seconds for the video signal to refresh after switching computers. The mouse and keyboard signals also re-synchronize. This is normal operation and ensures that proper synchronization is established between the Console and connected computers.

SELECTING A COMPUTER USING DIRECT-ACCESS PORT SELECTORS

You can directly select which computer you wish to control by pressing the direct-access port selector, which is located next to the port for the corresponding Console. The LED lights in amber indicate that the port is currently selected by Console A. The LED lights in green indicate that the port is currently selected by Console B. When Consoles A and B have both selected the same port, the LED will light in the color corresponding to the Console that has control of the port.

For example: If Console A (amber) selects port 2 on BANK 00 first, Console A’s LEDs for port 2 will be lit in amber. If Console B (green) then switches over to port 2, BANK 00 while Console A has access to it, then both LEDs will be lit in amber. This indicates that both Consoles are currently accessing the same port but Console A has control of the port. In this example, Console B will only have viewing privileges.

Note: When both Consoles are accessing the same port, only one will have control of the computer connected to that port. The other computer will only have viewing capabilities. Port control is assigned on a first-come, first-served basis.
