Concurrent operation of the KVM extender
If a user carries out inputs with either keyboard or mouse, the KVM extender auto

Support of any graphics resolutions
The KVM extender basically supports all resolutions that can be transmitted according to the 1.0 DVI specification. This restriction mainly affects the pixel rate, which
can re
ach from 25 MHz (single link) to 165 MHz (dual link) or from 165 to 330 MHz.
During single link operation, the common VESA D
standards enable resolutions between 640 × 480 pixels at 60 Hz and 1600 × 1200 pixels at 60 Hz.
1920 × 1200 pixels at 60 Hz are transmitted according to VESA CVT-RB, 1920 × 1080
pixels at 60 Hz (progressive) are transmitted according to CEA861.
Among other resolutions, dual link o

Reading out the adjusted IP address
If the IP address of a copmuter module or a user module is unknown, a terminal
emulator (for example HyperTerminal oder PuTTY) can be used to read it out.
Use the supplied service cable tp connect the computer on which the terminal emulator is installed to the Service
How to read out the preset IP address of the device:
NOTE:
Before establishing a conenction to the terminal emulator, install the
CP210x USB to UART Bridge VCP device driver.
This driver provides the Service socket of the
interface (COM port). The virtual interface can now be selected to establish a connection to the terminal emulator.
The driver can be downloaded at
