Installation
In the basic expansion level, 4 computers can be connected to the TripleMUX.
Each of these computers can be equipped with a triple video card (QuadMUX:
Four-way video card). This procedure will be explained in more detail in this
chapter.
Computer connection:
•
Disconnect the monitor, keyboard and mouse cable from the computers.
• Monitor:
Plug the 15 pole Sub HD plug on the CPU-x cable (x=1, 2, 4, 6 or 9
metres) or CPU-USB-x (x= 2 or 4 metres) into the VGA port on computer
1.
Additional monitor connection:
• Connect
the
VGA-M/M-x connection cable to the other video
channels on the computer.
•
Connect the other end of the
VGA-M/M-2 cable to the VGA CPU 1.x
– 3.x ports
Please note:
When connecting the graphic cards, ensure that the assignment is
correct on the TripleMUX. As described in
chapter 5.2.4.3
, due to
physical restrictions not all video sources can be displayed on every
monitor.
• Keyboard/mouse

Now using the two PS/2 plugs of the CPU-x cable, establish the
connection to the keyboard and mouse interface of computer 1. Both
plugs have corresponding symbols on them.
•
Alternative keyboard/mouse (USB):
Now using the USB plug of the CPU-USB-x cable, establish the
connection to the keyboard and mouse interface of computer 1.

Then connect the other end of the CPU-x or CPU-USB-x cable (MDR 20
