Connecting analogue matrix switches (Bridging)
188 · G&D DVICenter
Requirements
You can use a console connected to the digital matrix switch to access a target module
connected to the analogue matrix switch if the following requirements are met:
1. The matrix switches and the modules of the Bridge line are placed in the correct
order (see figure 1) and are properly connected.
2. The VGA-CPU target module is connected to a port operated in Down mode
(see Port administration on page 17).
3. Both matrix switches are connected to the same TCP/IP network.
4. Set the system time of both matrix switches correctly, or use an NTP server for
automatic time adjustment (see page 35 f.).
5. The premium function IP-Control-API is enabled for the analogue matrix switch
CATCenter NEO .
6. The Bridge mode of the target module VGA-CPU is configured (see page 188).
Particularities
 Bridge lines can be connected only to the digital Master matrix switch of the KVM
system.
 Target modules ( CATpro2 ) of an analogue matrix switch cannot be used for the
Tradeswitch function (see page 159 ff.).
Configuration
The Bridge mode of a VGA-CPU target module is enabled by entering the device ID of
the connected UCON user module and the IP address of the analogue matrix switch
CATCenter NEO .
Enabling the Bridge mode of a target module
How to enable the Bridge mode of a target module:
1. In the directory tree, click KVM matrix system > [Name] > Target modules .
2. Right-click the Bridge module ( VGA-CPU ) you want to configure and click Configu-
ration on the context menu.
IMPORTANT: When used in Bridge mode, the user module UCON automatically
switches to Open Access mode (see Open Access operating mode on page 100).
At this user module, access is not protected through authentication!
NOTE: After the Bridge mode of a target module is enabled, the module is listed
in the directory tree under KVM matrix system > [Name] > Bridge modules .
NOTE: Bridge modules are not listed in the OSD of the matrix switch.
