TripleMUX/QuadMUX
1 Description
1.1 General information
The TripleMUX and QuadMUX allow you to manage up to four (4) computers
using one keyboard and one mouse, and up to three or four parallel screens.
Each of the 4 computers can be equipped with a Triple or Quad video card. All
four channels on this card can be switched.
The following variants are available (the differences lie in the type of graphics
card fitted in the computer).
As all the products differ only in the type of graphics card in the computer
connected, it is normally the TripleMUX that is being referred to in this manual.
The option for scene switching means that the images from the various video
sources on one or more computers can be switched to the four monitors
connected, according to the user's requirements.
This video scene can be freely assigned the operation of one of the
computers shown.
The TripleMUX therefore makes an active contribution to saving costs, energy
and space for additional peripherals, and to use the computers connected more
efficiently.
A user has easy access to the information provided on multiple computers.

The TripleMUX is an electronic PC switch, with the following functional
features, among others:
• Full keyboard and mouse emulation for error-free booting of all
computers connected
• Provision of a microprocessor for each channel
• Can be operated on computers with PS/2 and USB mouse
• Full support for the Microsoft Intelli-Mouse
• Video bandwidth up to 400MHz
• Switching (scene selection) via keyboard HotKey or AdonIS
• Freely adjustable scenes

Guntermann & Drunck GmbH Installation and operating manual
TripleMUX/QuadMUX
• AutoScan function for automatic pass-through of the scenes
• AdonIS can be configured
• System can be secured using password assignment.
1.3 Factory settings / default settings
The TripleMUX is configured as follows with the factory settings:
• No user password assigned,
• Master password permanently set,
• TripleMUX can only be configured via the master password.
1.4 Master password
If you want to make changes to the default settings, enter the master password
in the LOGIN window.
Your master password can be found in Appendix A to the operating manual.
Via the master password you have access to all configuration levels at all
times, regardless of the current settings.
Please ensure that you remove the master password from the operating
manual for your own security.
1.5 User password
There are no in-depth configuration rights assigned to the user password. The
user password is used to avoid unauthorised use of the system.
A user password can only be assigned by the master (see chap. 5.2.2.16).
If a user password is assigned, it must be entered in the LOGIN window.

TripleMUX/QuadMUX
2 Installation
In the basic expansion level, 4 computers can be connected to the TripleMUX.
Each of these computers can be equipped with a triple video card (QuadMUX:
Four-way video card). This procedure will be explained in more detail in this
chapter.
Computer connection:
• Disconnect the monitor, keyboard and mouse cable from the computers.
• Monitor:
Plug the 15 pole Sub HD plug on the CPU-x cable (x=1, 2, 4, 6 or 9
metres) or CPU-USB-x (x= 2 or 4 metres) into the VGA port on computer
1.
Additional monitor connection:
• Connect the VGA-M/M-x connection cable to the other video
channels on the computer.
• Connect the other end of the VGA-M/M-2 cable to the VGA CPU 1.x
– 3.x ports
Please note:
When connecting the graphic cards, ensure that the assignment is
correct on the TripleMUX. As described in chapter 5.2.4.3, due to
physical restrictions not all video sources can be displayed on every
monitor.
• Keyboard/mouse (PS/2):
Now using the two PS/2 plugs of the CPU-x cable, establish the
connection to the keyboard and mouse interface of computer 1. Both
plugs have corresponding symbols on them.
• Alternative keyboard/mouse (USB):
Now using the USB plug of the CPU-USB-x cable, establish the
connection to the keyboard and mouse interface of computer 1.
• Then connect the other end of the CPU-x or CPU-USB-x cable (MDR 20
= Mini Delta Ribbon 20 pole) to the CPU1 port on the TripleMUX.
• To make the connection to the other computers, proceed as described
above

Guntermann & Drunck GmbH Installation and operating manual
TripleMUX/QuadMUX
Console connection:
• Plug the keyboard and mouse into the corresponding jacks. Connect the
monitor to the Monitor interface on the back of the device.
Additional monitor connection:
Connect the monitors to the MONITOR 2 - 4 jacks.
• Alternatively, you can connect keyboard and mouse via USB. The
relevant connections for this purpose can be found on the front of the
TripleMUX.
Once all the connections to the TripleMUX have been established, switch on the
device.

TripleMUX/QuadMUX
3 Switching the device on / LED indicators
After switching on the device using the rocker switch on the rear, the
TripleMUX initialises the keyboard and mouse. The user LED (green) comes
on immediately after the TripleMUX has been switched on.
The user-LED (yellow) blinks after the device is switched on until a keyboard
(PS/2 or USB) has been found. After successful initialisation of keyboard and
mouse, the user-LED (yellow) changes to a permanent yellow light.
Behaviour of the 4x PC-channel LEDs:
PC-LED below, green:
• After switching the device on, the LED blinks briefly if the channel was
off and then remains off
• After switching the device on, the LED remains permanently lit if the
channel was on, that is, the LED was already lit up and it lights up
further as follows
• lights up permanently as soon as a computer with active power supply
is plugged into this channel
PC-LED above, yellow:
• Goes out after switching on (until it blinks once briefly)
• if you switch to an input channel (via OSD or HotKey), the LED
associated with the channel lights up permanently until you change
the channel.
If one of the connected computers is switched on, the corresponding
channel indicator switches from red to green.
If the initialisation does not occur (red/green blinking does not end), please
check the correct fit of the connection cable (keyboard/mouse) on the user side.

4 System access and operation
4.1 The login window
If the device is still set to the factory settings (OpenAccess), this window will not
be displayed.
The login window can only be accessed if the free system access
(OpenAccess) has been deactivated.
LOGIN TripleMUX
Please enter your
Password:
max. 12 characters
Esc Enter
In this case, enter your personal user password here. The number of attempts
is unlimited. Confirm your inputs using the ENTER key. ESC cancels the input.
If you want to change the factory settings for the device, enter the master
password (see Appendix A).
In the status on delivery, the SELECT SCENE selection menu will appear
immediately after switching on or entering the password.
SELECT SCENE means that screen scenes are connected up here. These
scenes consist of 3 or 4 different image sources, and these image sources can
originate from one computer or from different computers. For more on this
topic, see chap. 5.2.4.
When the SELECT SCENE menu appears for the first time, the system waits
for the selection of a scene via AdonIS.
In principle, a scene can be selected via keyboard HotKey or via the OSD
(On-Screen-Display) menu.
