The following symbols may be shown in the connection overview:
Symbol Description
CON Device is connected via Shared Access with at least one further CON
Device to the same CPU Device. The CON Device has Full Access at the
moment.
CON Device is connected via Shared Access with at least one further CON
Device to the same CPU Device. The CON Device has a Video Access
connection at the moment.
To perform switching operations between CON and CPU Devices proceed as follows:
1. Click View > Matrix in the task area or select View > Port when using a Matrix Grid.
2. Move the mouse cursor to the port that has to be switched.
3. Hold down the left mouse button and move the cursor to the port that has to be connected to the initial
port. The current cursor movement will be displayed by a black auxiliary line.
4. Release the left mouse button.
A selection menu to select the available switching type (Full Access, Video Access or Private Mode)
will be opened.
5. Select the desired switching type.
The switching operation will be immediately executed. At the same time all EXT Units that are assigned
to the involved devices will be switched.
If a port is shown with a red cross on
Matrix View, the CON Device does not have access rights to the
Device connected to that port.
To disconnect existing connection between CON Device and CPU Device, proceed as follows:
1. Click with the right mouse button on the port that is to be disconnected.
2. Click the Disconnect function in the context menu.
The connected ports will be immediately disconnected. At the same time all further connections of the
extender modules assigned to the involved devices will be disconnected.
12.1.2 USB 2.0 Switching
Switching of USB 2.0 extender modules basically works like switching of KVM extender modules. The
following scenarios to switch USB 2.0 extender modules are possible.
1. An EXT Unit with USB 2.0 will be created and assigned to an already existing device with existing KVM
EXT Units (see chapter 7.7.3.3, page 225 or chapter 7.8.3.3, page 243).
2. A separate device for the EXT Unit with USB 2.0 will be created without assigning a KVM EXT Unit to
that device. This possibility offers a separate switching of the USB 2.0 signal (see chapter 7.7.3.1,
page 224 or chapter 7.8.3.1, page 242).
2.0 signals uses Extended Switching functionality (see chapter 12.1.1, page 313).
When using parallel operation within the matrix, set the
Release Time in the System Settings > Switch
s or more (see chapter 7.4.7, page 163). Otherwise, the connection of the USB 2.0 extender
will not be established due to security and stability reasons.
