SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation of your Modular KVM Matrix Switch, note the following guidelines.

INSTALLATION

Only use the device according to this User Manual. Failure to follow these procedures could result in damage to the equipment or injury to the user or installer.
- Only use in dry, indoor environments.
- The Modular KVM Matrix Switch and the power supply units can get warm. Do not install components in an enclosed space without any airflow.
- Do not obscure ventilation holes.
Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not use a power supply if it appears to be defective or has a damaged chassis.
Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each case, ensure that the ground connection is maintained from the outlet socket through to the power supply's AC power input.
In case the device is equipped with one or more grounding screws, be sure to use these for normal operation to ensure the grounding of the chassis.
Do not connect the link interface to any other equipment, particularly network or telecommunications equipment.
Only connect devices to the serial interface that are protected against short circuit currents and incorrect voltages at the serial interface.
To disconnect the Modular KVM Matrix Switch from the power supply, remove the power cord cables of all power supply units or switch supplies off.
Take any required ESD precautions.
- To disconnect the device completely from the electric circuit, all power cables have to be removed.

REPAIR

• Do not attempt to open or repair a power supply unit.
  Do not attempt to open or repair the Modular KVM Matrix Switch. There are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Contact Black Box Technical Support at 877-877-2269 or [e-mail] if there is a fault.

1.1 INTERFACES

1.1.1 DVI-D SINGLE-LINK

The video interface supports the DVI-D protocol. All signals that comply with DVI-D Single Link norm can be transmitted. This includes monitor resolutions such as 1920 x 1200 @ 60 Hz, Full HD (1080p) or 2K HD (up to 2048 x 1152). Data rate is limited to 165 MPixel/s.

1.1.2 USB-HID

Modular KVM Desktop Switch devices with USB-HID interface support a maximum of two devices with USB-HID protocol. Each USB-HID port provides a maximum current of 100 mA.

KEYBOARD

The Modular DKM Desktop Switch is compatible with most USB keyboards. Certain keyboards with additional functions may require custom firmware to operate. Keyboards with an integral USB Hub (e.g., Mac keyboards) are also supported.

MOUSE

The Modular DKM Desktop Switch is compatible with most 2-button, 3-button and scroll mice.

OTHER USB-HID DEVICES

The proprietary USB emulation also supports certain other USB-HID devices, such as specific touch screens, graphic tablets, barcode scanners or special keyboards. Support cannot be guaranteed, however, for every USB-HID device.

NOTE: Only two USB-HID devices are supported concurrently, such as keyboard and mouse or keyboard and touch screen. A hub is allowed, but it does not increase the number of HID devices allowed.

To support other USB “non-HID” devices, such as scanners, web cams or memory devices, choose our devices with transparent USB support.

1.1.3 RJ-45 (NETWORK)

The communication of the CATx devices requires a 1000BASE-T connection.

The cabling must comply with EIA/TIA-568-B (1000BASE-T) standards with RJ45 connectors at both ends. All four wire pairs are used in both directions. The cabling is suitable for a full duplex operation. For the cable connection to a source (computer, CPU), you must use a crossed network cable (cross cable).

1.1.4 RJ-45 (SERIAL)

Communication takes place with a transmission speed of 115.2 KBaud, regardless of the file format. The transmission takes place with eight data bits and a stop bit, but without a parity bit. Limited hardware handshake (DSR) is possible.

CHAPTER 1: SPECIFICATIONS

1.1.5 RJ-45 (INTERCONNECT)

Communication between CATx devices requires a 1000BASE-T connection.

Connector wiring must comply with EIA/TIA-568-B (1000BASE-T), with RJ-45 connectors at both ends. All four cable wire pairs are used.

1.1.6 FIBER SFP TYPE LC (INTERCONNECT)

Communication of fiber devices is performed via Gigabit SFPs that are connected to suitable fibers fitted with LC type connectors (see Section 1.2.2).

The correct function of the device can only be guaranteed with SFPs provided by Black Box.

CAUTION: SFP modules can be damaged by electrostatic discharge (ESD). Consider ESD handling specifications.

1.1.7 SDI (INTERCONNECT)

Communication of the SDI devices requires a mini coax connection with mini BNC connectors or 3G SFPs with transmission speeds of 0.36 Gbit/s (SD-SDI, SMPTE 259M), 1.485 Gbit/s (HD-SDI, SMPTE 292M) and 2.97 Gbit/s (3G SDI).

1.2 INTERCONNECT CABLE

1.2.1 C AT X

NOTE: A point-to-point connection is required. Operation with several patch fields is possible. Routing over an active network component, such as an Ethernet Hub, Router or Matrix, is not allowed.

- Avoid routing CATx cables along power cables.

CAUTION: To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, correctly installed shielded CATx cable must be used throughout the interconnection link.

CAUTION: To maintain regulatory EMC compliance, all CATx cables need to carry ferrites on both cable ends close to the device.

TYPE OF INTERCONNECT CABLE

The Modular KVM Matrix Switch requires interconnect cabling specified for Gigabit Ethernet (1000BASE-T). The use of solid-core (AWG24), shielded, CAT5e (or better) is recommended.

1.8 MTBF

The following table contains the mean time between failure (MTBF) in power-on hours (POH). The estimate is based on the FIT rates of the parts included. FIT rates are based on normalized environmental conditions of T = 140^ F ( 60^ C) and activation energy (Ea) of 0.7 eV. Calculations are based on 90% confidence limit.

We estimate that inside the housing, temperature will be 59^ F ( 15^ C) higher than the ambient temperature. Therefore, the MTBF calculation refers to an ambient temperature of 113^ F ( 45^ C). The humidity is limited to 60%.

3.3 EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS

The Modular KVM Matrix Switch supports a wide and flexible range of system configurations:

A part of the Modular KVM Matrix Switch can be configured as a Single-Head work station, a part as Dual-Head, as Quad-Head or even as a video matrix for example. In addition to that, there are configurations with KVM and USB 2.0 available.

In addition to OSD access by a keyboard connected to the CPU board or and extender CON Unit, other methods of control are available, including:

Java Tool
- Serial interface

A connection to common media controls is also possible.

The following sections show typical example installations of the Modular KVM Matrix Switch.

3.3.1 KVM MATRIX

In Single-Head mode, up to 288 ports can be used either as an input or as an output port depending on components and equipment. Non-blocking access is available for all users, i.e. user access is not limited by the activities of another user.

If you have special configurations, especially at installations with several monitors per workstation or additional support of USB 2.0 transmission paths, the number of connectable CPUs and consoles can be increased by a parallel operation (stacking) of several Modular KVM Matrix Switches.

One Modular KVM Matrix Switch is defined as the Master Matrix and its IP address entered into the Master IP Address field (see Section 4.4.1). All other matrices are defined as Sub Matrices. Sub matrices must be connected to the master matrix via a network connector (RJ-45) on the CPU board. The Enable LAN Echo option has to be activated at the master matrix (see Section 4.4.1).

If a switching command is performed using the OSD, the synchronized matrices will also switch automatically.

NOTE: Switching of stacked devices might be delayed by several seconds.

CHAPTER 3: INSTALLATION

3.3.4 MATRIX GRID

You can use a matrix grid for applications where the required number of ports is not sufficient or important connections need to be made to several matrices to provide redundancy.

A matrix grid consists of one master matrix and at least one slave matrix. In its maximum configuration, it can consist of up to 16 matrices.

To build a matrix grid, the grid matrices are interconnected by "Grid Lines." In this case, the slave matrices can be connected directly to the master matrix or between themselves.

When arranging the grid lines, various grid setups can be realized, for example: a ring setup, a hub and spoke setup or a fully connected setup of matrices.

Grid lines can process signals bidirectional (Smart Connect). Per grid line, one KVM connection can be transmitted.

All switching operation will be exclusively performed through the Grid Master.

To configure the matrix grid, see see Section 4.15.

CHAPTER 4: CONFIGURATION

This menu enables shared operation of a CPU Device by two or more CON Devices. A CPU Device can be controlled by only one CON Device at a time but can be taken over successively by other CON Devices. Control of a CPU Unit by a CON Unit is relinquished after the expiration of an inactivity timer associated with the controlling CON Device. The mouse or keyboard may also be used to take control.

To allow a smooth and accurate function of the shared operation, you should use identical mice and keyboards.

They should be connected to the same USB-HID ports of each CON Unit.

The alternative is using USB-HID Ghosting (see Section 5.11).

When taking over control within 10 seconds, any assigned USB 2.0 / 3.0 extenders, if available, will not be switched because of security and stability aspects.

You have the following options to configure shared operation.

4.12.7 MULTI-SCREEN CONTROL

This menu configures the USB-HID switching operation, allowing a CON Device with several monitors to control several connected sources (computers, CPUs). Smooth switching can be performed for up to four connected sources by dragging the mouse pointer beyond the respective monitor to an adjacent one.

Monitors can be arranged side-by-side or in a grid layout.

CAUTION: When using sources (computers, CPUs) in multi-head operation (e.g. dual-head), switching only works manually via keyboard commands. Noncompliance may have a negative influence on the stability of the system.

When using CON Units with the possibility to connect a local source (computer, CPU) in a Multi-Screen Control environment, the local switching will be disabled.

NOTE: To enable Multi-Screen Control, all Extender Units assigned to the related CON Device, must be physically connected to the same block of 4 ports on the I/O board of the matrix.

CON Units that have been already configured for Multi-Screen Control can be connected together to other blocks of 4 ports. In this case, any further configuration is not necessary; their functionality will remain as set previously.

You have the following options to access the menu.

To configure the Multi-Screen Control, proceed as follows:

1. In the Arrangement field, select the layout for the CON Device you want to configure (1 x 4 or 2 x 2). The fields for the configuration of the individual displays will be arranged accordingly.
2. Activate Manual option, if USB-HID switching is to be restricted to keyboard commands (see Section 5.6). Manual switching allows the use of multi-head consoles.
3. Ensure that the Enabled option is set to Y on all displays in order to activate the respective display for Multi-Screen Control.
4. Select one or more control displays within the CON Device by setting the Control function to Y in the display field. Control displays are referred to the extender units within the Multi-Screen Control that are connected to keyboard and mouse.
5. When using the Owner function, you can determine which control display is permitted for USB-HID switching to the different displays. Select that display from the list. To make a display accessible to all neighboring control displays, set the Owner function to shared.
6. Use the Frame function to configure a red frame that shows the current display with mouse control after the expiration of a selectable timer. The frame to fade in can be individually activated by using a timer >0 seconds.

4.15 MATRIX CASCADING

This simple method of cascading allows a switchable connection between two matrices via Tie Lines.

The Matrix Cascading does not require Bundle 4.

This kind of configuration may become necessary if the number of ports in the entire system has to be increased or if certain important connections should be distributed to several matrices because of redundancy.

The Tie Lines are unidirectional and can only be used in one direction according to their configuration. For bidirectional use of cascading, you have to configure opposite Tie Lines.

To connect Tie Lines to the matrices, you have to create intended Master/Slave CON and Master/Slave CPU Devices that have to be switched within the cascaded environment.

You have the following options to configure Matrix Cascading:

OSD JAVA

GENERAL PREPARATION

1. Define a Master Matrix. All further matrices will be configured as Sub Matrices in the configuration process.
2. Ensure that the Tie Lines will only be connected after finishing the configuration.

4.16 MATRIX GRID

In this menu, you can configure a Matrix Grid to connect two or more matrices. This kind of configuration may be necessary if the number of ports in the entire system has to be increased or if certain important connections should be distributed to several matrices because of redundancy.

The connections between two matrices have to be established by Grid Lines that are connected between particular I/O ports as connecting links. The Grid Lines can be used bidirectionally and can respectively handle a full access connection of a CON Device to a CPU Device.

The number of Grid Lines in the system specifies if a CON Device can be switched to a CPU Device in Non-Blocking Access or in Blocking Access and has to be separately determined for each Grid environment.

In this case, Non-Blocking Access means that a Grid Line for a cross-matrix switching operation of a CON Device to a CPU Device is available at any time.

Blocking Access means that for a certain switching operation no Grid Line may be available according to the switching status within the Grid. As a result, no cross-matrix switching will be possible.

5.7 MULTI-SCREEN CONTROL

The Multi-Screen function contains a switching of the USB-HID signal between different statically connected sources (computer, CPU) within a CON Device and can be performed in two different ways:

SWITCHING VIA MOUSE

The switching of the USB-HID signal can be made by a movement of the mouse pointer beyond the edge of the current display to a neighboring display (see Section 4.11.7).

To perform a switching operation by movement of the mouse pointer, proceed as follows:

1. Move the mouse pointer to the edge of the display that borders the neighboring display vertically or horizontally.
2. Move the mouse pointer beyond the edge of the display. The mouse pointer will appear on the adjacent display. The switching operation has been performed and the USB-HID signal will now be available at the target display.

SWITCHING VIA KEYBOARD

Switching of the USB-HID signal can also be achieved using the keyboard (for configuration, see Section 4.11.7).

To perform a switching operation via keyboard command, proceed as follows:

1. Start Command Mode with the hotkey (see Section 4.1).
2. Select the target display by pressing the respective key on the numeric pad of the keyboard. The switching operation will be performed and the USB-HID signal will be available at the target display.

You can select the following switching operations.

TABLE 5-6. SWITCHING OPERATIONS

KEYBOARD COMMAND FUNCTION

Switching of the USB-HID signal to the display (CON Unit with keyboard and mouse)

Switching of the USB-HID signals to display #1

Switching of the USB-HID signals to display #2

Switching of the USB-HID signals to display #3

Switching of the USB-HID signals to display #4

5.8 USB 2.0 SWITCHING

Switching USB 2.0 extenders basically works like switching KVM extenders. The following scenarios to switch USB 2.0 extenders are possible.

1. An extender unit with USB 2.0 will be created and assigned to an already existing device with existing KVM extender units (see Section 4.10 or Section 4.11.1).
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 separate switching of the USB 2.0 signal (see Section 4.10 or Section 4.11.1).

NOTE: Switching USB 2.0 signals uses Extended Switching functionality (see Section 5.3).

When using parallel operation within the matrix, set the Release Time in the Configuration > Switch menu to 10 seconds or more (see Section 4.11.6). Otherwise, the connection of the USB 2.0 extender will not be established for security and stability reasons.

5.9 PRESETS

Predefined macros to switch the matrix without loading a new configuration can be created and activated in this menu.

You have the following option to access the menu.

To create a new switch macro, proceed as follows:

1. Open a new switch macro by clicking the New symbol in the right column of the working area.
   You are asked if the existing connections should be taken over for the new switch macro.
2. Set the desired switching operations in the corresponding columns (Full Access, Video Only or Private Mode) by using a double click on the appropriate selection box or use the function for a disconnect (Disconnect CPU).
3. Save the created switch macro by clicking the Save symbol in the right column of the working area. A save dialog will be opened.
4. Enter a name or the new switch macro and confirm by pressing the Ok button in the save dialog.
5. By clicking on a selected switch macro with the right mouse button, you can create a copy of the current switch macro when using the Save as... option.
6. Previously saved macros can be deleted by pressing the Delete symbol.

To load a predefined switching, proceed as follows:

1. Select the switch macro in the right column of the working area that has to be loaded.
2. Activate the selected switch macro by pressing the Send button on the bottom right of the working area.

NOTE: A predefined switch macro can only be activated in online mode. When loading presets, only those switching operations that are compliant with the hardware and the configuration of the currently used matrix are taken into account.

KVM extenders with redundant connectors for interconnect cables can be simultaneously operated with both connectors at a single Matrix or a Matrix Grid (from firmware version V04.00).

The connector labeled with Link 1 at the KVM extender is meant for the primary connection. If the connection on CON or CPU Unit side is interrupted due to any problem, the connection will be automatically re-established through the second connector labeled with Link 2.

For this kind of redundancy function, there is no need for any configuration of the KVM matrix or the KVM extenders.

If needed, you can manually switch between Link 1 and Link 2 at the CON Unit (see Section 5.5).

You have the following possibilities to check the status of redundancy.

OSD

5.11 LDAP INTEGRATION

This section outlines the steps taken to configure the DKM FX system with an Active Directory Server using LDAP. This section only applies to the new CPU board.

Step 1: Go to your Active Directory server and create a new LDAP User who will be used for the auto synchronization between the AD server and DKM. You can place this user anywhere, but they must be configured so that they are not removed and the password doesn't change (if password changes for this user, you need to update it accordingly in DKM). In our example, we created the user "adsync" and his password never expires.

FIGURE 5-12.

Step 2: Next, you need to create your KVM Groups within the AD Server. We recommend that you create a new Organization Unit (it can be named anything, but we chose the OU=KVM) as seen in the next image first. Once you create your new Organizational Unit, go to that OU group and right click and select "Group". Create as many groups as you like. In our example I have 3 groups, Pittsburgh, LA, and New York.

FIGURE 5-13.

Step 3: Now that you have created several groups to organize your KVM Users, you can now begin adding users to these groups. The users can be located anywhere in the Active Directory server, but when you create the group, you can quickly add those other users in other Organizational Units into this group. As seen below, we have the Group Pittsburgh with 2 users. These users are located under bbnsengineering.local/NorthAmerica/Pittsburgh. These are the only two users that need KVM access.

FIGURE 5-15.

Step 5: Next, click on the LDAP tab (located in System Settings>>Network>>LDAP) and enable LDAP. If your AD server uses TLS/SSL, you need to enable this (if you select wrong, you will not be able to sync with server). You may use LDP.EXE, which is a Microsoft tool that can help you determine if you are using TLS/SSL.

Enter the LDAP Server IP address (on my server I went to Start and typed CMD, then did IPCONFIG and confirmed my NIC was configured for 10.8.1.100). Now enter the Port number (default 389). You can now type in your Base DN which should be similar to ours of "dc=bbnsengineering,dc=local". Your domain name can be found in your AD server.

FIGURE 5-16.

Step 6: Now create your Active Directory / LDAP Sync User by going to User Settings>>Users & Groups, and click on New User and make them an LDAP USER. This user should be a special user that is only used for synchronization. In our configuration, we made sure this adsync user's password doesn't expire. The Name can be any name you choose, the Login Name MUST match the AD Login name, and for this ADSYNC user you MUST enter the password so that it can synchronize all other users. Once you add this user, they should automatically be added to the LDAP configuration as seen in step 5.

YOU MUST NOW PERFORM A RESTART ON THE SWITCH SO IT CAN ENABLE THE LDAP SERVICE. BE SURE TO APPLY YOUR CHANGES AND ACTIVATE THE CONFIGURATION, THEN RESTART.
