Any of the manufacturer's software described in this manual is sold or licensed as is. Should the programs prove defective following their purchase, the buyer (and not the manufacturer, its distributor, or its dealer), assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair and any incidental or consequential damages resulting from any defect in the software.

The manufacturer of this system is not responsible for any radio and/or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this device. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in the operation of this system if the correct operational voltage setting was not selected prior to operation. PLEASE VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE SETTING IS CORRECT BEFORE USE.

A typical LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor has millions of pixels. A dead pixel refers to a pixel with a defect in its ability to display the correct color output. It most often looks like a tiny black or white spot on your screen, although it can be any other color. Since even a tiny dust particle on one of the pixels during the manufacturing process or a slight bump during shipping can create a dead pixel, the ISO 13406-2 norm defines 4 classes of acceptable screens with dead pixels--Class 1 is the best; Class 4 is the worst. Almost all manufacturers use Class 2 to establish their warranties, which allows a certain amount of dead pixels to exist before they will replace the screen. Since the manufacturers consider these screens to be acceptable under ISO specifications, we cannot be responsible for replacement or warranty of the TFT LCD panel.

Overview

The CL3800 / CL3700 / CL3100 is a Short Depth WideScreen LCD Console Series targeting limited space and mobile live streaming applications. The short depth design fits all 19" equipment cabinets, and is especially suitable for shallow racks. In addition to saving valuable space on the rack, the CL3800/CL3700/CL3100 also provides a space-saving solution for special environments, such as outside broadcast vans (OB vans) and compact control rooms.

The CL3800 USB HDMI DVI VGA LCD Console is a dual rail LCD KVM console featuring an 18.5" LED-backlit widescreen LCD monitor with an integrated keyboard and touchpad. The CL3800 supports three types of video input – HDMI, DVI, and VGA – and provides the ultimate in installation flexibility by allowing users to connect the console and the computer via any of the three types of video source.

To maximize space utilization, the dual rail design enables CL3800's LCD monitor, keyboard and touchpad to operate independently of each other. The LCD console's keyboard and touchpad modules can slide back to hideaway when not in use, while the thin profile LCD monitor rotates back, flush against the rack, to allow the convenient monitoring of computer activity.

While the CL3800 supports multiple video interfaces, the CL3700 and CL3100 are dedicated front end sliding consoles respectively for compatible HDMI KVM switches and VGA KVM switches. Both of the CL3700 and CL3100 are single rail design with an 18.5" LED-backlit widescreen LCD monitor, an integrated keyboard and touchpad.

For added convenience, users can choose to manage the computer from an external console. Ports for a second external KVM console (USB keyboard/mouse) with either an HDMI (CL3800 and CL3700), DVI (CL3800 only), or VGA (CL3800 and CL3100) monitor, are provided on the rear panel. The CL3800 and CL3100 include two mini stereo ports for connecting audio speakers, one in the CPU section, and the other in the external Console section on the rear panel. The CL3800/CL3700/CL3100 also features a port for an external USB mouse on the unit's front panel for use with the built-in keyboard. See Rear Panel External Console Ports, page 2 to view a table of available ports for each model.

The LCD monitors of the CL3800NW and CL3700NW support resolutions up to 1920 x 1080, while the LCD monitors of the CL3800NX, CL3700NX, and CL3100NX support resolutions up to 1366 x 768. See Specifications, page 59, for details.

Server rooms already installed with compatible KVM switches will have the advantage of easy LCD access, an additional KVM console, and a built-in space saving sliding module, without having to purchase a new KVM switch.

The CL3800 / CL3700 / CL3100's firmware is upgradable, so you can stay current with the latest updates by downloading them from the ATEN website. Setup is fast and easy. Simply use the custom cable included with your device to connect the CL3800 / CL3700 / CL3100 to the console ports of your KVM switch and you are ready to go!

Chapter 3 Operation

Opening / Closing the Console

The CL3800's console consists of two modules: an 18.5" LCD display module located under the top cover; and a keyboard / touch pad module below the LCD module. The modules can either slide together, or independently. This allows you to have the LCD display available for viewing while the keyboard / touch pad module is conveniently out of the way when not in use.

The CL3700 and CL3100 are single rail consoles and so the LCD display module and keyboard/touch pad module can only slide in/out together.

Troubleshooting

Symptom Action
There are ghost images on the external monitor.The distance between the external console and the CL3800 is too great. The maximum DVI cable distance should not exceed 20 m and, in some cases, may need to be shorter. Replace the DVI cable with one of an appropriately short length.
Some characters I enter from the keyboard do not display correctly.The keyboard layout setting for the port does not match the keyboard you are using. On your switch, change the keyboard layout setting for the port to match the layout of the keyboard you are using.
I can’t use the special keys on the Sun external keyboard to control Sun computers.Use Sun keyboard emulation keystrokes (page 65) to achieve all Sun keyboard functions.
