Creating Flex-Port Extender Units
Extenders with ID function are automatically recognized by the system and cannot be created manually.
They were used at so called Flex-Ports at the matrix.
Note: The connection of fixed port extender unit (e. g. USB 2.0) to a Flex-Port can cause unintended
results.
Creating Fixed Port Extender Units
To create a new fixed-port extender unit (e.g. USB 2.0), proceed as follows:
1. Press the New button.
2. Select whether a template of a USB 2.0 CON unit (USB CON Unit) or USB 2.0 CPU unit (USB
CPU Unit) should be used.
3. Press the OK button.
4. Determine a port at the matrix that should be used with the USB 2.0 extender unit (Fixed Port). As
an option the name of the USB 2.0 extender unit can be changed (Name).
5. Press the Apply button to save the new extender unit.
Created extender units are always set as fixed port extender. These configurations are necessary to
switch e. g. USB 2.0 connections via the matrix.
