The matrix switches of the
»DVICenter« series
Being the central components of a matrix system, the matrix switches of the DVI-
Center series enable you to operate the connected computers via consoles, which are
connected to the system.
The KVM matrix system consists of three main components:
 the matrix switch (DVICenter),
 the target modules (DIV-CPU),
 the user modules (DVI-CON).
The target modules and the user modules are both connected to the matrix system
via category 5 (or better) twisted pair cabling.
By switching analog video, keyboard, mouse, and audio (optional) signals from a
target module to a user module, the computer connected to the target module can be
operated.
Operation
The following paragraphs provide you with various possibilities to operate the KVM
matrix system.
On-screen display
Usually, the KVM matrix system is operated through the system’s on-screen dis-
play. This display is provided at all user modules by default.
The on-screen display enables you to define additional select keys. The select keys
provide the possibility to switch between the different target modules by pressing a
key combination on the keyboard of the user module.
NOTE: This manual describes how to operate the matrix switch using the on-
screen display of a user module.
