Port administration
The DVICenter DP32 provides 32 Ports. These ports are used to connect user modules
or target modules.
Automatic port mode
In the default settings, the matrix switch autorecognizes the modules connected to
the ports and configures the ports accordingly.
By cascading the matrix switch, you can increase the number of connected target
computers. For this, connect further matrix switches to the configured ports:
NOTE: The number of Ports depends in the DVICenter variant in use.
The following paragraph explains how to configure the 32 Ports of a
DVICenter DP32 .
IMPORTANT: When installing a matrix switch with the current version of the web
application, the connected user modules ( CON ) or target modules ( CPU ) are recog-
nized and the ports are auto-configured.
Up to version 1.10 of the web application, the
CON or CPU mode of ports could be
manually assigned by the user. After a firmware update to the current version, the
web application of a configured matrix switch activates the Compatibility mode and
applies the user’s previous manual configuration.
ADVICE: Click on Compatibility mode to switch between Standard mode and Compatibil-
ity mode.
IMPORTANT: When connecting a user module or a target modules, the ports are
auto-configured. When cascaded (see page 137 ff.) mind the port mode or change
it, if necessary.
