ULTRAMATRIX E-SERIES MANUAL
15
To start, identify the following prior to installation:
1. Which UltraMatrix will be #1, #2, and so on.
2. Which computer will be #1, #2, and so on.
3. Which computers do not use a PC2 keyboard or a PS/2 mouse.
4. Which Unit and CPU port each computer will be connected to.
5. Which KVM station will be #1, #2, and so on.
6. The “Starting computer” number for each Unit.
7. The number of computers, or “Maximum computers”, that the
UltraMatrix will be managing.
The “Starting computer” and “Maximum computers” values are
determined as follows:
Starting computer
The “Starting computer” number will depend on which Unit is being
configured. The “Starting computer” number for the first Unit is always
one (default). Using Units that have 16 CPU ports, the “Starting
computer” number for the second Unit is the total number of RS232
ports on the first Unit time 4 plus (+) one or 17, the third Unit would
have a “Starting computer” number of 33 (Total RS232 ports on unit #1
and unit #2 times 4 plus (+) 1, and so on.
Maximum computers
The “Maximum computers” value is calculated by multiplying the total
number of RS232 ports on all units by 4. If your system consists of 10
UltraMatrix 4xE Units, each with four (4) RS232 ports, the “Maximum
computers” number would be 160 (40 - RS232 ports x 4). The
“Maximum computers” value must be entered from a KVM station and
when saved, this value is propagated to all connected Units.
Connecting the expansion units
The installation steps below are for all UltraMatrix switch models.
Steps:
(NOTE: Expansion cables should not be connected at this point)
1. Verify that power is “OFF” on all Ultramatrix switches.
2. Configure the “Starting computer” number for all the UltraMatrix
switches, starting with Unit #2 by: (Unit #1 default = 1)
a. Connect a KVM station to Unit #2’s KVM #1 connector using
the appropriate KVM adapter cable.
b. Apply power to the KVM monitor and to UltraMatrix #2.
c. When the internal diagnostic completes, press and release the
left control [Ctrl] key, then the F12 key to display the “Main
menu”.
