The overview of channel groups lists all grouped modules within the KVM system.

How to display an overview of all channel groups:

KVM matrix systems > [Name] > User modules

or

Target modules

.

2. Right-click a module and click

Channel grouping overview

on the context menu.

3. Now the overview of channel groups is displayed.

The overview lists the names of modules which are the leading KVM channels of

the groups. Click the Plus icon next to such a module to view the modules belon-

ging to the group.

In addition to module names, name and port of the connected matrix switch, the

channel number within the group and the module ID are displayed.

to close the window.

Expanding the system 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

.

NOTE:

The module that is highlighted in red is the module on which you

opened the overview.

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

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.
