Chapter 5: Operation

To disconnect an existing link between CON and CPU devices, follow these steps:

1.Click on the port that is to be disconnected by using the right mouse button.

2.Select the “Disconnect” function in the popup that appears. The connected ports will be disconnected immediately. At the same time, all further connections of the extenders assigned to the involved devices will be disconnected.

5.4 USB 2.0 Switching

Switching USB 2.0 extenders works in a similar way as switching KVM extenders. The following scenarios to switch USB 2.0 extenders are possible.

1.A extender unit with USB 2.0 will be created and assigned to an already existing device with existing KVM extender units.

2.A separate device for the extender unit with USB 2.0 will be created without assigning a KVM extender unit to that device. This possibility offers a separate switching of the USB 2.0 signal.

NOTES:

Extended switching includes separate switching of USB 2.0 signals.

When switching USB 2.0 connections you should wait until the process of registration of the USB 2.0 devices has been completed before you switch to the next CPU (approximately 5–15 seconds). Otherwise the stability of the USB 2.0 connection can be affected negatively.

5.5 Presets

In this menu, you can create and activate predefined macros to switch the matrix without loading a new configuration.

You can access the menu via the Java icon.
