CPU connection

All CPU connectors on the UltraView Pro are DB25F. The CPUs are connected to the UltraView Pro using a CPU cable designed to interface with the CPU type such as a PC, SUN or Apple. A CPU cable is needed for each connected Computer.

Cascading Units

The UltraView Pro is designed to allow for expanding from a single unit to multiple units. When set up in this configuration, one unit is designated as the master unit and the other UltraView Pro units are designated as slave units. Each CPU connector on the master unit can be connected to the KVM connector on a slave unit. Using a 16 port UltraView Pro as the master and 16 port units for the 16 slaves, expands the capability to 256 computers. A switch-to-switch cable for each slave unit is needed.

Menu system

The UltraView Pro’s menu system makes it very easy to configure the system (KVM station and unit), the connected computers, the colors, resolution, screen saver, and the general appearance of the on-screen displays and labels.

To access the UltraView Pro’s menu system, first press and release the left control <Ctrl> key. Then, within 2 seconds, press the F12 key. The main configuration menu will display.

To navigate through the configuration menus, use the up/down arrow keys to select the section needing configuration. Once the section is selected (highlighted), pressing enter will either display that sections configuration menu, display an input box to enter new values, or show a list of available choices.

To exit the menu system select Exit from the main configuration menu and press enter. If any changes have been made you will be prompted to either save the changes or exit without saving the new configurations. If you choose yes, the changes are saved to flash memory. If you choose no, the changes will stay in effect as long as the unit has power. Once power is removed from the unit, unless saved, all changes are discarded.

Each item in the menu system is explained in detail in the menu section of this manual.
