Safety Instructions

2 Safety Instructions

To ensure reliable and safe long-term operation of your Draco tera please
note the following guidelines:

Installation

 Only use the device according to this User Manual. Otherwise the

provided safety can be affected.

 Only use in dry, indoor environments.
 The Draco tera and the power supply units can get warm. Do not

situate them in an enclosed space without any airflow.

 Do not obscure ventilation holes.
 Only use power supplies originally supplied with the product or

manufacturer-approved replacements. Do not use a power supply if it
appears to be defective or has a damaged chassis.

 Connect all power supplies to grounded outlets. In each case, ensure

that the ground connection is maintained from the outlet socket
through to the power supply's AC power input.

 Do not connect the link interface to any other equipment, particularly

network or telecommunications equipment.

 Only connect devices to the serial interface that are sufficiently

secured against short circuit currents and false voltages at the serial
interface.

 To disconnect the Draco tera from the power supply, remove the

power cord cables of all power supply units that are in use or set the
power switch (if available) to the off-position.

 Take any required ESD precautions.

In order to disconnect the device completely from the electric circuit, all
power cables have to be removed.

Repair

 Do not attempt to open or repair a power supply unit.
 Do not attempt to open or repair the Draco tera. There are no user

serviceable parts inside.

 Please contact your dealer or manufacturer if there is a fault.

3.1 Application

The Draco tera matrix is used to establish connections from consoles
(monitor, keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral devices) to various
sources (computer, CPU).

In a maximum configuration, up to 288 independent ports can be defined
and switched either as a console or a CPU.

The Draco tera matrix is mainly specified for the use with extenders that
are able to transmit video, KVM and USB 2.0 signals. But it can be also
run as a video matrix.

The connection between the matrix and the peripheral devices, such as
KVM extenders or video sources, can be made by Cat X, fiber or coaxial
cables.

The matrix serves as a repeater. Thus, the matrix can be run at a
maximum distance of 10 km from the consoles and 10 km from the
sources.

3.3 System Overview

A Draco tera matrix system consists of a Draco tera matrix and, for KVM
applications, of one or more CPU Units / CON Units. The Draco tera
matrix is connected to the CPU Units / CON Units by interconnect cables
or connected directly to the video devices where used as a video matrix.

The CPU units are connected directly to the sources (computer, CPU) by
the provided cables.

Monitor(s), keyboard and mouse are connected to the CON units.
The communication between the Draco tera matrix and the CPU Units /

CON Units takes place over the respective interconnect cables.

main menu under configuration (see Chapter 5.2.1, Page 55).

5.

gure initially as requested.

Confi

After the configuration of the system it is recommended to save the
configuration by selecting Configuration > Save and restart the matrix by
selecting Restart Matrix.

6. Optional: Establish a network connection between the matrix and the
Java tool in order to set an extended configuration (see Chapter

5.2.2, Page 60).

In Single-Head mode, up to 288 ports can be used either as an input or as
an output port depending on components and equipment. At the same
time there is a non blocking access for all users, i.e. user access is not
limited by the activities of another user.

4.3.3 Parallel Operation (Stacking)

If you have special configurations, especially at installations with several
monitors per work station or additional support of USB 2.0 transmission
paths, the number of connectable CPUs and consoles can be increased
by a parallel operation (stacking) of several Draco tera devices.

One of the Draco tera matrices has to be defined as the master matrix,
all the others have to be configured as slave matrix and the IP address of
the master matrix has to be entered in the field Master IP Address (see
Chapter 5.4.1, Page 75). They have to be connecte
via net

work connector (RJ45) of the CPU board. The option Enable LAN

Echo has to be activated at the master matrix (see Chapter 5.4.1, Page

75).

If a switching command is done in the OSD, the slave matrices will also
switch automatically.

Switching of stacked devices might be delayed by several seconds.

4.3.4 Cascading

For applications exceeding the number of available ports, the system can
be extended by cascading.

In this case, the Draco tera devices are connected by so-called "tie lines".
The tie lines are dynamically configured to support connections in both
directions.

To access cascaded matrices from a console, one of the matrices has to
be configured as sub matrix (see Chapter 5.4.1, Page 75).

5.1 Command Mode

The Draco tera has a Command Mode that allows several functions via
keyboard command during normal use.

To enter Command Mode use a 'Hot Key' sequence and to exit Command
Mode, press <Esc>. While in Command Mode, the LEDs Shift and Scroll
on the console keyboard will flash.

In Command Mode normal keyboard and mouse operation will cease.
Only selected keyboard commands are available.

If there is no keyboard command executed within 10 s after activating
Command Mode, it will automatically be deactivated.

The following table lists the keyboard commands to enter and to exit
Command Mode and to change the 'Hot Key' sequence:

Function Keyboard Command
Enter Command Mode (default) 2x <Left Shift> (or 'Hot Key')
Exit Command Mode <Esc>
Change 'Hot Key' sequence

<Key> + <Key> Press keys simultaneously
<Key>, <Key> Press keys successively
2x <Key> Press key quickly, twice in a row
(similar to a mouse double-click)

<current 'Hot Key'>, <c>,
<new 'Hot Key' code>, <Enter>

Until 2011-30-09:
<Left Ctrl> + <Left Shift> + <c>,

<'Hot Key' Code>, <Enter>

2013-08-14 53

Draco tera

The 'Hot Key' sequence to enter Command Mode can be changed. The
following table lists the 'Hot Key' Codes for the available key sequences:

'Hot Key' Code 'Hot Key'

0 Freely selectable (from 2012-01-12 on)

3 2x <Left Shift>
4 2x <Left Ctrl>
5 2x <Left Alt>
6 2x <Right Shift>
7 2x <Right Ctrl>
8 2x <Right Alt>

In a combined KVM matrix / U-Switch configuration, choose different 'Hot
Keys' for the KVM matrix and the U-Switch.

Set freely selectable 'Hot Key' (exemplary)

In order to set a freely selectable 'Hot Key' (e.g. 2x <Space>), use the
following keyboard sequence:

<current 'Hot Key'>, <c>, <0>, <Space>, <Enter>

Set 'Hot Key' for direct OSD Access

When setting a second 'Hot Key', next to the 'Hot Key' for standard
functions, this 'Hot Key' can be exclusively used for opening the OSD
directly.

5.2.3 Control via Serial Interface

The Draco tera operating system offers various functions for an operation
via serial interface. There are telegrams for Switching single or all
connections available, both unidirectional and bidirectional. In addition to
that, there are telegrams for an overall definition of the total switching
status and for saving and loading such switching states.

By request, the Draco tera optionally provides an echo of all effected
switching operations via serial interface or network interface. That is why
you have the possibility to track the current configurations of the matrix at
any time and so update your own applications.

As an additional application you can switch parallely Draco tera clones as
slaves (Stacking) via serial network interface.
