Appendix F. KVM placement / conflicts
In an expanded system with multiple UltraMatrix switches, no user
conflicts will occur provided the KVM stations are on different KVM
ports. That is one KVM station on KVM port #1, and one on KVM
port
#2 for the 2xE model
; one on KVM port #3 and one on KVM port #4 for
the 4xE model.
It is possible, in an expanded system with multiple UltraMatrix switches,
to connect additional KVM stations to the system. This allows more
than 2 or 4 users access to the computers.
When doing this, all users on the same KVM port must share the same
video path from switch to switch. (KVM port #1 on UltraMatrix #1 and
KVM port #1 on UltraMatrix #3) As long as all KVM # 1 users only
connect to the computers that are attached to their local UltraMatrix,
they can operate with no conflicts. If a user on KVM #1 connects to a
computer on a different UltraMatrix switch, the KVM #1 user on that
Ultramatrix will be disconnected and the error message
“Video path canceled” will appear.
KVM's 2, 3, and 4 do not have the option of more than one concurrent
user as does KVM 1. If a second KVM 2, 3, or 4 tries to access the
system all other KVM's of the same number will be disconnected. If
they try to re-connect, they will simply cause the other KVM user to be
disconnected.
