SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation of your Compact 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 Compact 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 Compact 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 Compact 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 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).

1.1.2 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.

1.1.3 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.

1.2 INTERCONNECT CABLE

CATX

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

3.3 EXAMPLE APPLICATIONS

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

A part of the Compact 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 Compact KVM Matrix Switch.

3.3.1 KVM MATRIX

In Single-Head mode, up to 48 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.

6 Console (monitor, keyboard, mouse)

If you have a Single-Head console, you can also get access to a Dual-Head or Quad-Head console for example. However, control is only possible at monitor 1.

Any signal source can be switched to any number of monitors that will show the video signal at the same time. Audio may also be switched if required.

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 Compact KVM Matrix Switches.

One Compact 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.

3.3.3 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.

4.2.3 CONTROL VIA SERIAL INTERFACE

The Compact KVM Matrix Switch operating system offers various functions for operation via a serial interface. There are telegrams for switching single or all connections available, both unidirectional and bidirectional. In addition, there are telegrams for an overall definition of the total switching status and for saving and loading such switching states.

The Compact KVM Matrix Switch optionally provides an echo of all affected switching operations via a serial interface or a network interface. This aids continuous tracking of a matrix configuration and enables your own applications to be updated.

As an additional application, you can switch matrix clones in parallel as synchronized matrices (Stacking) via a serial network interface.

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.

4.11.7 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.

4.14 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:

4.15 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.

• via a media control (network or serial connection required)

5.1 OPERATION VIA HOTKEYS

5.1.1 DIRECT SWITCHING

Direct switching by favorites on a keyboard is the fastest way for a user to switch at his console between different CPUs. This offers the option to switch video, keyboard and mouse or video only.

DIRECT SWITCHING OF VIDEO, KEYBOARD AND MOUSE

1. Start Command Mode with the hotkey. Shift and Scroll LEDs on the keyboard will flash if Command Mode is activated.
2. Enter the index number of the new CPU from the list of favorites and confirm with .
   At the same time, the Command Mode is closed and the console is connected to the new CPU, which takes over complete control.

Example: Switching to favorite CPU 7 with video, keyboard and mouse

, , <7>,

NOTE: Fastest switching time can be achieved by using identical mice, keyboards and monitors. This contributes to a smooth and seamless direct switching of the matrix.

SWITCHING IN PRIVATE MODE

1. Start Command Mode with the hotkey. Shift and Scroll LEDs on the keyboard will flash if command mode is activated.
2. Enter the index number of the new CPU from the list of favorites and confirm with , pressed at the same time.
   At the same time, the Command Mode is closed and the console is connected to the new CPU with complete control in Private Mode.

Example: Switching to favorite CPU 3 in Private Mode

, , <3>, ,

DIRECT SWITCHING OF VIDEO

1. Start Command Mode with the hotkey.
   Shift and Scroll LEDs on the keyboard will flash if command mode is activated.
2. Enter the index number of the new CPU from the list of favorites and confirm with .
   At the same time, Command Mode is closed and the console is connected to the new CPU with video only.

Example: Switching to favorite CPU 1 with video only

, , <1>,

SWITCH TO PREVIOUS CPU

1. Start Command Mode with the hotkey. Shift and Scroll LEDs on the keyboard will flash if Command Mode is activated.
2. Press the key

   of your keyboard.
   At the same time, Command Mode is closed and the console is connected to the previous CPU with complete control.
   NOTE: If you switch to a CPU that was previously connected with Video Access only, you will be connected to this CPU with full KVM access.
   NOTE: You can only switch to valid, unused CPUs using hotkeys. The options Force Connect and Force Disconnect as well as the restrictions of the User ACL and CON ACL are taken into account.
   Hotkeys are only supported if neither Enable User Login nor the Enable User ACL is selected and the user is logged in the OSD.

DISCONNECT CURRENT CONNECTION

1. Start Command Mode with the hotkey. Shift and Scroll LEDs on the keyboard will flash if Command Mode is activated.
2. Press the key on your keyboard.
   The Command Mode is closed and the console is disconnected from the previous connected CPU.

5.1.2 SCAN MODE

Scan Mode enables fast switching between video signals from different CPUs registered as favorites without continuously using the hotkey.

Switching between two video signals can even take place within one frame.

1. Start command mode with the hotkey. Shift and Scroll LEDs on the keyboard will flash if command mode is activated.
2. Press the key and hold it down. You can now enter the index numbers of the various CPUs from the list of favorites with the keyboard and immediately switch to the video signal of the respective CPU after entering the index number.
3. Leave Scan Mode by pressing + .

NOTE: Optimal results can be achieved by the use of as identical resolutions as possible. This contributes to a smooth and seamless function of the scan mode.

5.1.3 FUNCTION KEYS -

In Command Mode, you can retrieve the macros 1–16 with the function keys - on the connected standard keyboard instead of the special macro keyboard.

The stored command sequence for the appropriate function key is executed and Command Mode is left immediately.

NOTE: It is not necessary to use to confirm selection of macros.

5.1.4 ADDRESSING OF MAIN AND SUB MATRICES

The Compact KVM Matrix Switch can be cascaded over two levels. You can send the commands (including opening the OSD) to either the main or the sub matrix.

5.6 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.
