Rose electronic 16X, 8X, 4X manual Ultramatrix UMX Series Installation and Operations Manual

Perform the following installation steps for each computer/server that will be connected to the UltraMatrix. Sequentially connect the computers/servers starting with computer #1. (Refer to Figure 4)

Refer to the troubleshooting section for help if needed.

NOTE: When entering information into the UltraMatrix menu system, use the numeric keys above the keyboard for entering numbers. The numeric keypad cannot be used for entering information into the menu system. Command inputs to the menu system must be entered within 2 seconds of each other or the input is aborted. Use the up/down and left/right arrow keys to maneuver within the menus. When the needed menu section is highlighted, press enter. That menu will display, an input box will display for a new value, or a choice box will display listing the supported choices for the selection.

Steps:

1.Connect all KVM stations to the UltraMatrix switches DB25F, KVM connectors using the appropriate KVM cables.

2.Turn on all KVM stations video monitors and the UltraMatrix switch. (Wait for the internal diagnostic check to complete)

3.Switch KVM station #1 to the CPU port being configured (starting with CPU port #1). This is done by pressing and releasing the left [Ctrl] key and within 2 seconds, type in the CPU port # being configured (starting with 1) and press [Enter]. A connection dialog box will display showing the connection status. (Figure 29).

4.Pre-configure the CPU port, if needed, as outlined in steps 5a-f if the computer being connected does not use a PC2 type keyboard or a PS/2 type mouse (defaults). Pre-configure the CPU port before connecting the computer or server. If the computer uses a PC2 type keyboard and a PS/2 mouse, connect it to the corresponding CPU port. No pre-configuration is needed, skip step 5 a-f.

5.Pre-Configuration procedure

a.Call up the “Main menu” by pressing and releasing the left [Ctrl] key, then the [F12] key. (See Figure 17)

b.Select “Computer” and press [Enter]. (See Figure 19)

c.Select the computer to change the default keyboard or mouse type, and then select the keyboard or mouse field for the selected computer and press [Enter]. A selection box will display listing the supported keyboard or mouse types.

d.Select the correct keyboard or mouse type for the selected computer and press [Enter].

e.Press [ESC] to return to the “Main menu” and save the changes.

f.Connect the computer to the pre-configured CPU port.

6.Boot the computer the KVM station is connected to if the computer power was off. You should see the boot-up sequence on the KVM monitor. If the computer was connected to a pre-configured CPU port with power applied, you should see that computers video.

7.Verify that the keyboard, video, and mouse on the connected computer function properly before proceeding. Verify that other KVM stations operate properly.

8.Switch KVM station #1 to the next sequential CPU port as explained in step 3 and perform steps 4-7 for that computer and for the remaining computers.

9.When all computers are connected and operating properly, change the “Maximum computers” value from the default value of 64 to the correct number of computers/servers connected to the single unit. This will limit the scanning function to the actual number of connected computers.

To change the “Maximum computers” value, perform the following:

10.Call up the “Main menu” (Left [Ctrl] key, [F12] See Figure 17)

11.Select “System” and press [Enter]. (See Figure 18)

12.Select “Maximum computers” and press [Enter]. An input box will display for a new value.

13.Enter the correct “Maximum computers” value and press [Enter].

14.Press [ESC] to return to the “Main menu”.

15.Save the changes. (See Figure 26)

This completes the basic installation of a single Unit. You can switch to any connected computer from any KVM station by pressing and releasing the left [Ctrl] key, typing in the computer port number to switch to and press [Enter]. You can also switch to a computer by displaying the “Computer select” screen [Ctrl] + [ESC]. Select the computer to switch to from the list and press [Enter]. You will be immediately switched to that computer.

To customize the configuration settings for the system, computers, KVM stations, users, profiles, groups, and language, see the Configuration menu section for details. Refer to the Operation section for information on the operation of the UltraMatrix switch.
