INTRODUCTION

The DVN-16Pro is a dedicated multi-platform KVM switch capable of managing up to 16 different computers through a single DVI-D monitor, USB keyboard & mouse and a single set of speakers with USB 2.0 device sharing. The USB emulation technology utilized by the DVN-16Pro enables immediate hotkey source switching through a remote USB keyboard and mouse. The DVN-16Pro provides high resolution, up to 1920x1200 with zero pixel loss from TMDS signal correction.

FEATURES

• Supports Mac, PC, Linux and Sun DVI
• Supports High Resolution1920x1200 60Hz WUXGA
• Uses universal DVI Single Link connectors
• Zero pixel loss with TMDS signal correction
• Supports all USB 2.0 Devices (Flash Drives, Printers, Scanners, etc.)
• Supports USB 2.0 keyboard and mouse
• Balanced stereo audio output
• Front panel buttons with LCD display
• Full RS-232 control
• Hotkey commands for quick channel selection
- Complete keyboard emulation for error free booting

- Independent (asynchronous) switching of KVM and peripheral USB/audio ports. Users can listen to audio from one computer while working on the other or scan a document and save in another computer

SOURCE SWITCHING MADE EASY

The DVN-16Pro provides simplified control of up to 16 computers with DVI-D, audio, and USB 2.0 outputs. This dynamic KVM console can be controlled remotely from easily accessible keyboard hotkeys or RS-232 communication channel commands, as well as directly through the console's easy to read front panel.

EDID LEARNING & PROGRAMMING

Detection of DDC signals for all attached devices is effortless with DVN-16Pro due to its EDID learning and programming. This is vital in optimizing the resolution of the selected graphics card to properly display on the remote monitor. Furthermore, the DDC learning feature continues to replicate the right EDID for the computer to enable the display card to effectively work when unused ports are not selected.

FULL USB KEYBOARD AND MOUSE EMULATION

The USB keyboard and mouse emulation utilized by DVN-16Pro provides accurate and quick source switching by means of keyboard hotkeys. The DVN-16Pro imitates the presence of a keyboard and mouse for every attached computer through its USB cable. This is essential as it simulates the existence of the keyboard and mouse to all the computers when switching out of the circuit.

APPLICATIONS

RS-232 COMMANDS

The DVN-16Pro may also be controlled via RS-232 commands. This feature requires that an RS-232 card is installed in your computer or a USB to RS-232 adapter. Check the RS-232 connections on your computer and the DVN-16Pro to determine if you need a male to male, female to female or male to female cable.

Establish a connection to DVN-16Pro :

1. Connect a straight-through RS-232 cable to the RS-232 connector on the PC.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the RS-232 port of the DVN-16Pro.
3. Power on the device.

If you need to identify the COM port used by your computer do the following:

1. Click on the start button.
2. Click on Control Panel.
3. Click on Device Manager.
4. Click on the arrow next to Ports (COM & LPT).

You should see the name of your adapter and the COM port number in use.

Setting up the Terminal Application:

Run the terminal client of your choice such as HyperTerminal or PuTTY.

Select the correct COM port on the PC.

Use the following connection settings: 9600, N, 8, 1, no flow control.

NOTE: PuTTY and other terminal software may not default to the settings above. If your RS-232 connection seems un-responsive, cycling power to the DVN-16Pro will reset all values and boot up messages will be sent to your terminal display and verify the connection.

HOTKEY COMMANDS

The Hotkey command is a keyboard sequence used to trigger an action on the DVN-16Pro through the use of the keyboard connected on the USB port of the DVN-16Pro. To activate the hotkey sequence, press the CTRL key twice and then enter the desired hotkey command.
