Connect MXU2 Unit for Second-Tier Operation:
Figure 17 Connect Second Tier MXU2 Unit to Base MXU2
Each MXU2 that will be used as a second tier unit must first be separately programmed
for tier mode. See prior steps under Prepare Second Tier MasterConsole MXU2 for
instructions.
1. Power off the base MXU2.
If computers have already been connected to the base MXU2 unit, you do not have to shut
down the computers; because even when the MXU2 is powered off, its keyboard/mouse
keep-alive feature continues performing keyboard/mouse emulation on attached computers.
2. Power off all second tier MXU2 units before connecting them to the base MXU2.
3. Connect reserved channel(s) on the base MXU2 unit to user port(s) on the back of the second tier
MXU2.
Unblocked access to second tier computers, where two users can access second tier
computers simultaneously, is recommended. For unblocked access, two vertically
consecutive channels should be reserved - 1-2 or 3-4 or 5-6 or 7-8 etc… - for each
second tier MXU2 unit to be connected.
Connect the reserved channel on the base MXU2 unit to the RJ45 User 2 port on the
back of the second tier MXU2 unit
Plug the DC Adapter (Part # A10D1-06MP) into the URKVMG and the other end into an AC
power outlet.
Using a CCPnn cable, plug the male keyboard, video, and mouse connectors into the
appropriate 6-pin mini-DIN and HD15 female ports on the Cat5 Receiver (URKVMG).
