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.
