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. Failure to follow

these procedures could result in damage to the equipment or injury to
the user or installer.

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

install components 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 protected against

short circuit currents and incorrect voltages at the serial interface.

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

power cord cables of all power supply units or switch supplies off.

 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 its maximum configuration, up to 48 independent ports can be defined
and switched either as a console or a CPU.

The Draco tera matrix is designed to operate with extenders that are able
to transmit video, KVM and USB 2.0 signals. But it can also be used 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 cables.

The matrix serves as a repeater and can be run at a maximum distance of
140 m from the consoles and 140 m from the sources.

3.3 System Overview

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

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.
Communication between the Draco tera matrix and the CPU Units / CON

Units occurs over the respective interconnect cables.

4.2 System Setup

First time users are recommended to setup the system in the same room
as a test setup. This will allow you to identify and solve any cabling
problems, and experiment with your system more conveniently.

Due to the construction of the matrix chassis it is recommended to use an
additional subfloor below the matrix for the use in a 19“ rack.

Setup of the matrix

1. Connect a CON Unit to an I/O port of the matrix for its configuration.

2. Connect keyboard, mouse and monitor to the CON Unit.

3. Connect the matrix and the CON Unit to the power supply.

4. Open OSD via keyboard command <'Hot Key'>, <o> and login with
administrator rights in the main menu under configuration (see

Chapter

5.2.1, Page 58).

5. Configure initially as requested.

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.

48 2014-04-15

Installation

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 63).

Setup of Extender

1. Connect the CON Units to the matrix by using the interconnect cables
(Cat X).

2. Connect the CON Units to the input devices that has to be used (for
example keyboard and mouse).

3. Connect the 5VDC power supply units to the CON Units.

4. Check the basic function of the CON Unit by opening the OSD via
keyboard command <'Hot Key'>, <o>.

5. Connect the source (computer, CPU) to the CPU Unit of the extender
using the provided connection cables.

6. Connect the CPU Unit to the matrix using the interconnect cables
(Cat X).

7. Connect the 5VDC power supply units to the CPU Units.

8. Start the system.

a part as Dual-Head, as Quad-Head or even as a video matrix for
example. In addition there are configurations with KVM and USB 2.0
available.

In addition to OSD access by a keyboard connected to the CPU board or
and extender CON Unit, other methods of control are available, including:

 Java Tool
 Serial interface

A connection to common media controls is also possible.

4.3.2 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 Draco tera matrix is defined as the Master Matrix and its IP address
entered into the Master IP Address field (see Chapter

other matrices are defined as Sub Matrices. Sub matrices must be
connected to the master matrix via network connector (RJ45) on the CPU
board. The Enable LAN Echo option has to be activated at the master

matrix (see Chapter 5.4.1, Page 78).

If a switching command is performed using the OSD, the synchronized
matrices will also switch automatically.

Switching of stacked devices might be delayed by several seconds.

4.3.3 Matrix Grid

You can use a matrix grid for applications where the required number of
ports is not sufficient or important connections need to be made to several
matrices to provide redundancy.

A matrix grid consists of one master matrix and at least one slave matrix.
In its maximum configuration, it can consist of up to 16 matrices.

In order to build a matrix grid, the grid matrices are interconnected by
“Grid Lines”. In this case, the slave matrices can be connected directly to
the master matrix or between themselves.

When arranging the grid lines, various grid setups can be realized, for
example: a ring setup, a hub & spoke setup or a fully connected setup of
matrices.

Grid lines can process signals bidirectional (Smart Connect). Per grid
line, one KVM connection can be transmitted.

Switching operations that extend beyond a single grid matrix are made by
the grid master. Local switching operations will still be made by each sub
matrix.

To configure the matrix grid, see Chapter

5.13, Page 158.

5.1 Command Mode

The Draco tera includes a Command Mode that allows several functions
to be controlled by keyboard commands 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 be deactivated automatically.

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

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,
there are telegrams for an overall definition of the total switching status
and for saving and loading such switching states.

The Draco tera optionally provides an echo of all affected switching
operations via serial interface or network interface. This aids continuous
tracking of a matrix configuration and enables your own applications to be
updated.

As an additional application you can parallely switch matrix clones as
synchronized matrices (Stacking) via serial network interface.
