ULTRAVIEW PRO INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
CPU connection
All CPU connectors on the UltraView Pro are DB25F. The CPUs are
connected to the UltraView Pro using a CPU cable designed to
interface with the CPU type such as a PC, SUN or Apple. A CPU
cable is needed for each connected Computer.
Cascading Units
The UltraView Pro is designed to allow for expanding from a single
unit to multiple units. When set up in this configuration, one unit is
designated as the master unit and the other UltraView Pro units are
designated as slave units. Each CPU connector on the master unit
can be connected to the KVM connector on a slave unit. Using a 16
port UltraView Pro as the master and 16 port units for the 16 slaves,
expands the capability to 256 computers. A switch-to-switch cable
for each slave unit is needed.
Menu system
The UltraView Pro’s menu system makes it very easy to configure
the system (KVM station and unit), the connected computers, the
colors, resolution, screen saver, and the general appearance of the
on-screen displays and labels.
To access the UltraView Pro’s menu system, first press and release
the left control <Ctrl> key. Then, within 2 seconds, press the F12
key. The main configuration menu will display.
To navigate through the configuration menus, use the up/down
arrow keys to select the section needing configuration. Once the
section is selected (highlighted), pressing enter will either display
that sections configuration menu, display an input box to enter new
values, or show a list of available choices.
To exit the menu system select Exit from the main configuration
menu and press enter. If any changes have been made you will be
prompted to either save the changes or exit without saving the new
configurations. If you choose yes, the changes are saved to flash
memory. If you choose no, the changes will stay in effect as long as
the unit has power. Once power is removed from the unit, unless
saved, all changes are discarded.
Each item in the menu system is explained in detail in the menu
section of this manual.
