DM-NVX-E30(C)/DM-NVX-D30(C)/DM-NVX-D80-IOAV Product Manual – DOC. 8425B
USB 2.0 Routing
NOTE: USB routing is applicable to the DM-NVX-D80-IOAV only. The OPS port of the
DM-NVX-D80-IOAV provides the connection for USB control.
The DM-NVX-D80-IOAV supports the extension of USB 2.0 signals. The OPS port of the
DM-NVX-D80-IOAV includes USB 2.0 host port functionality, enabling the DM-NVX-
D80-IOAV to function as a remote extender. The OPS port receives a USB signal from a
KVM (keyboard, video, and mouse) device or other type of USB peripheral device.
The USB signal is transported over the network to the USB 2.0 device port of a DM NVX
device, which functions as the local extender and sends the USB signal to a USB host
device (for example, a computer).
NOTE: In addition to KVM switch functionality, supported peripheral devices include
touch screens, whiteboards, game controllers, cameras, mobile devices, headsets, and
flash drives. Crestron DM NVX products are engineered to deliver maximum
compatibility with the widest possible range of USB products. Crestron does not
guarantee that all USB products are compatible with DM NVX products. Consult the
DM NVX System Design Guide, Doc. 7977, for USB bandwidth considerations.
For OPS-supported displays with touch screen capability, the OPS port of the DM-NVX-
D80-IOAV routes USB signals from the touch screen to a computer. For OPS-supported
displays equipped with USB ports that connect to USB peripheral devices, the OPS port
of the DM-NVX-D80-IOAV routes signals from the USB peripheral devices to host
devices.
NOTE: Some OPS displays equipped with USB ports may not support USB routing from
the OPS port.
USB 2.0 data transport can be configured for Layer 2 or Layer 3. For the DM-NVX-D80-
IOAV, Layer 2 supports USB signal extension in point-to-point applications. (At the time
of publication of this document, the DM-NVX-D80-IOAV does not support Layer 2
multipoint applications.)
For the DM-NVX-D80-IOAV, Layer 2 also supports the Crestron USB-EXT-DM-LOCAL
Extender Module, which can be used in locations that do not include DM NVX endpoints.
USB signals can be routed between DM NVX and USB-EXT-DM devices under the
management of a control system.
USB 2.0 Layer 3 data transport supports USB signal extension in DM NVX point-to-point
applications across VLANs. Layer 3 support is not applicable to USB-EXT-DM devices.
To configure USB routing, use the web interface or SIMPL Windows as discussed in the
following sections.
