6.2 Parallel Operation of redundant CPU Units
CPU Units with a redundant connectors for interconnect cables offer the
possibility for a competing control by two connected CON Units.
Taking over control is performed via keyboard and/or mouse. The release
timer function determines the release time of the input devices at one of
the CON Units after that control can be taken over from the second CON
Unit.
In order to configure a redundant CPU Unit for the operation with two
parallely controlling CON Units, proceed as follows:
1. Connect a redundant CPU Unit to any source (computer, CPU) by
using a mini USB connection.
2. Open the file "Config.txt" that is located on the appearing flash drive
of the extender.
3. In order to activate the function of taking over control by keyboard,
write the parameter KBDCON into the second line of the file.
In order to activate the function of taking over control by mouse, write
the parameter MOUCON into the second line of the file.
In order to activate the function of taking over control by keyboard and
mouse, write the parameters in the second and third line with one
parameter per line.
4. Activate the release timer by writing the parameter RELEASETIME=n
into the next free line. The variable "n" defines the time in seconds
and has to be replaced by the numbers 0 to 9 (e.g.
RELEASETIME=5).
If this parameter is not activated at all, the release time is set to
10 seconds by default.
5. Save your changes.
6. Reboot the CPU Unit.
