Introduction

Overview

The CL5708 / CL5716 SlideawayTM LCD KVMP Switch is an integrated LCD console and keyboard, video, and mouse (KVM) switch that offers secure access to 8 or 16 attached computers and mounts in only 1U of rack space. It features an independently retractable 17” LED-backlit LCD monitor and keyboard with built-in touchpad. An extra console port is provided on the rear panel to manage the LCD KVM switch from an external console (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) up to 20 meters away. For added convenience it also supports an external USB mouse.

The CL5708 / CL5716 supports both PS/2 and USB keyboards and mice for the connected computers, and the CL5708 / CL5716 supports USB peripheral devices to be used with the attached computers. A single CL5708 / CL5716 can control up to 8 or 16 computers. As many as 31 additional compatible KVM switches can be daisy chained together, so that up to 256 or 512 computers can all be controlled from a single keyboard, monitor, and mouse console. (See the Appendix for a list of compatible ATEN switches.)

The CL5708 / CL5716 is built on a modular design. The KVM section can be detached from the switch section for convenient maintenance and repair.

There are four models in the series as outlined in the following table:

Model LCD Panel KVM Ports

CL5708M 17" 8

CL5716M 17" 16

CL5708N 19” 8

CL5716N 19” 16

Your CL5708 / CL5716 investment is protected by an included firmware upgrade utility. You can stay current with the latest functionality improvements by downloading firmware update files from our website as they become available, and using the utility to quickly and convenient ly perform the upgrade.

CL5708 / CL5716 User Manual

Setup is fast and easy: plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. Because the CL5708 / CL5716 intercepts keyboard input directly, there is no software to configure, no need to get involved in complex installation routines, nor any need to be concerned with incompatibility problems. Access to any computer connected to the installation is easily accomplished either by entering hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or by means of a powerful, mouse driven, OSD (on-screen display) menu system. A convenient Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the activities of all computers running on the installation one by one.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a CL5708 / CL5716 installation. By using the CL5708 / CL5716 with its sliding LCD console to manage your installation, you: eliminate the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each computer; save all the space those extra components would take up; save the space that a keyboard, monitor, and mouse would take with a standard KVM switch; save on energy costs; and eliminate the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving from one computer to another.

Chapter 3. Basic Operation

Hot Plugging

The CL5708 / CL5716 supports hot plugging - components can be removed and added back into the installation by unplugging their cables from the ports without the need to shut the unit down. In order for hot plugging to work properly, however, the procedures described below must be followed:

Changing Station Positions

You can change a station’s position by simply disconnecting it from the previous station it is connected to and reconnecting it to another switch in the chain. In order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, the station IDs must be reset in the OSD. See RESET STATION IDS, page 41, for details.

Hot Plugging KVM Ports

You can add or remove computers by plugging/unplugging them into/from a switch’s KVM ports. In order for the OSD menus to correspond to the change, however, you must manually reconfigure the OSD to reflect the new Port information. See F3: SET, page 36, and F4: ADM, page 38, for details.

Note: If the computer's Operating System does not support hot plugging, this

function may not work properly.

Hot Plugging External Console Ports

The external keyboard, monitor, mouse and front panel mouse connections can all be hot plugged. When hot plugging a mouse:

 You may unplug and replug the mouse (to reset the mouse, for example),

as long as you use the same mouse.

 If you plug in a different mouse, all the stations and all the computers on

the installation must be shut down for 10 seconds, then restarted following the power up sequence described under Step 5 on page 18.

CL5708 / CL5716 User Manual

Port Selection

The CL5708 / CL5716 provides three port selection methods to access the computers on the installation: Manual, an OSD (on-screen display) menu system, and Hotkeys. Manual port switching is discussed below. See Chapter 4, OSD Operation and Chapter 5, Keyboard Port Operation for more information.

Manual Port Switching

Use the UP and DOWN Port ID / Station ID selection buttons located on the keyboard module (page 8) to switch KVM focus to any port on the installation. Continually pressing any button cycles through the list of available ports/stations.

Port ID Numbering

Each KVM port on the installation is assigned a unique Port ID. The Port ID i s made up of two parts: a Station Number, and a Port Number:

 The Station Number is a two digit number of the switch's position in the

daisy chain sequence. This number is displayed on the front panel station ID LED.

 The Port Number is a two digit number of the port on the CL5708 /

CL5716 station that a computer is connected to. This number is displayed on the front panel port ID LED.

 When keying in a Port ID number, the station number precedes the port

number.

 Station and port numbers from 1–9 are padded with a preceding zero, so

they become 01–09.

For example, a computer attached to Port 6 of Station 12 would have a Port ID of: 12-06.

Chapter 3. Basic Operation

USB Peripheral Devices

The front panel USB port is available to connect a USB peripheral device (flash drive, CD-ROM drive, printer, etc.) to the CL5708 / CL5716. Any computer connected to the CL5708 / CL5716 can access the USB peripheral on a one-ata-time basis. The peripheral device is available to computers connected to the CL5708 / CL5716 on the same level only, and is not available to computers connected to daisy chained switches.

The USB peripheral device is automatically detected on target computers when switching ports on the CL5708 / CL5716. For example, when switching from a computer connected to port 1 to a computer connected to port 2, the peripheral device automatically disconnects from the computer on port 1 and connects to the computer on port 2.

The Firmware Upgrade Utility

Introduction

The purpose of the Windows-based firmware upgrade utility is to provide an automated process for upgrading the CL5708 / CL5716 and compatible adapter cable firmware. The program comes as part of a firmware upgrade package that is specific for each device.

As new firmware versions become available, new firmware upgrade packages are posted on our website. Check the website regularly to find the latest information and packages.

Downloading the Firmware Upgrade Package

To download the firmware upgrade package:

1. From a computer that is not part of your KVM installation go to our

website and choose the model name that relates to your device. A list of available firmware upgrade packages appears.

2. Choose the firmware upgrade package that you wish to install (usually the

most recent) and download it to your computer.

CL5708 / CL5716 User Manual

Preparation

To prepare for the firmware upgrade, do the following:

1. Use the Firmware Upgrade Cable (provided with this unit), to connect a COM port on your computer to the Firmware Upgrade Port of your switch.

Note: On a daisy chained installation, the chained stations will

automatically receive the upgrade via the daisy chain cables.

2. Shut down all the computers, but not the stations, on the KVM installation.

3. From your KVM switch console, login to the OSD as the administrator (see page 31) and select the F4 ADM function.

4. Scroll down to FIRMWARE UPGRADE. Press [Enter], then press [Y] to invoke Firmware Upgrade mode (see page 41.).

Note: During Firmware Upgrade mode, the port LEDs will flash on and off.

Chapter 7. The Firmware Upgrade Utility

Starting the Upgrade

To upgrade the firmware:

1. Run the downloaded firmware upgrade package file either by double-

clicking the file icon, or by opening a command line and entering the full path to it.

The Firmware Upgrade Utility welcome screen appears:

Note: The screens shown in this section are for reference only. The

wording and layout of the actual screens put up by the Firmware Upgrade Utility may vary slightly from these examples.

2. Read and Agree to the License Agreement (enable the I Agree radio button).

3. Click Next to continue.

CL5708 / CL5716 User Manual

The Firmware Upgrade Utility main screen appears. The devices capable of being upgraded are listed in the Device List panel:

Troubleshooting

Overview

Operation problems can be due to a variety of causes. The first step in solving them is to make sure that all cables are securely attached and seated completely in their sockets.

In addition, updating the product’s firmware may solve problems that have been discovered and resolved since the prior version was released. If your product is not running the latest firmware version, we strongly recommend that you upgrade. See The Firmware Upgrade Utility, page 57, for upgrade details.

Problem Solution

There are ghost images on the external monitor.

The distance between the external console and the CL5708 / CL5716 is too great. The maximum VGA cable distance should not exceed 20m and, in some cases, may need to be shorter. Replace the VGA cable with one of an appropriately short length.
