Expanding through stacking
In Stacking mode, you can switch multiple matrix switches at the same time.
For this, connect the matrix switches via
Bus
ports and assign them with continuous
bus addresses.
Each stacking matrix switch consists of a matrix switch that provides the
KVM Main
Channel
. You can add up to 9 satellite matrix switches to the matrix switch. The sat-
ellites can be used either as
Video Follower Channel
or as
USB/RS232 Main Channel
.
When using three matrix switches, for example, you can transmit a second video
signal and USB 2.0 signals in addition to the standard signals of a user module
(video signal and keyboard and mouse signals):
Adjusting the bus address of matrix switches
The primary matrix switch automatically makes the stack matrix switches access the
same port that the user accesses at the primary matrix switch.
This requires the correct setting of the bus address in the individual matrix switches.
IMPORTANT:
Within a channel, you can only use compatible target and user
modules:
Video Follower Channel:
User and target modules of the DVI-CON or DVI-CPU series
USB/RS232 Main Channel:
User and target modules of the U2-CON or
U2-CPU series
Multi Channel:
virtual user modules and target modules at multi IO cards
NOTE:
Connect the user modules of one console to the same port numbers of the
different channels.
The same applies for the different target modules of one computer.
