Expansion
If your system consists of cascaded units, the expansion section of the
Configure System menu must be properly configured to provide the needed
information to manage the slave units.
It is recommended that all slave units have the same number of CPU ports.
To change the “Maximum computers”, “Expansion width”, and “Expansion
units”, use the up/down arrow keys and select the item and press enter. An
input box will display for a new value.
Maximum computers
This setting configures the total number of computers that are connected
and provides a wrap around value for scanning and the plus/minus
commands. Switching commands are validated against this value for a
valid port number. The “Maximum computers” value is the Expansion width
value times the number of slave units plus the CPU ports on the master unit
that are not used for expansion. Enter the number of connected computers
and press enter. Valid entries are 2 to 256.
Expansion width
The “Expansion width” setting determines how many computers are
connected to a slave unit. If the slave units are 4 port units, the width value
would be 4. If they are 8 port units, the expansion width value would be 8. If
the expansion units are a mixture of 4, 8, and/or 16 port units, the
“Expansion width” value is the number of CPU ports on the expansion unit
with the greatest number of ports.
Expansion units
The “Expansion units” setting is the number of slave units that are
connected to the master unit. This value determines which computer
number is associated with which physical connector.
If no expansion units are used, this number should be set to zero.
In the example in Figure 9, the “Expansion units” setting to enter would be
2.
Scan settings
The scan settings section determines the amount of time in seconds that a
computer’s video is displayed before automatically switching to the next
sequential computer. The scan mode can be turned on or off and set to
automatically scan the computers when the UltraView Pro is powered up.
