Forwarding target names to the slave matrix switches
Within a cascaded KVM matrix system, the target module names from the superior
matrix switch are forwarded to the connected matrix switch(es). This way, the target
modules are named identically across the entire system.
If you want to define different target module names within the different matrix switches
of the cascaded system, deactivate the Forward target names function.
How to (de)activate the forwarding of target names to the slave matrix switches:
1. Press the
Ctrl+Num
(default) hotkey to open the on-screen display.
2. Press
F11
to call the Configuration menu.
3. Select the
System
entry and press
Enter
.
4. Select the
Forward target names
entry and press
F8
to choose between the following
options:
5. Press
F2
to save your settings.
IMPORTANT:
Deactivating the function for forwarding the target names in the first level
of the matrix switch only affects the directly connected matrix switches of the second
level.
If the third level also includes slave matrix switches, this function has to be deacti-
vated in the matrix switches of the second level!
On:
The target module names are forwarded from the superior matrix
switch to the connected matrix switch(es).
Off:
The target module names are not forwarded from the superior
matrix switch to the connected matrix switch(es).
