3.1 Application

The KVM Extender is used to increase the distance between a source
(computer, CPU) and its console (keyboard, mouse, and other peripheral
devices).

The KVM Extender is designed for use with Cat X (Twisted Pair)
interconnect cables or fiber interconnect cables.

The KVM Extender with Cat X interconnect cables is unsuitable for
connection between buildings where a fiber optic-based product should be
used instead.

The KVM Extender with fiber interconnect cables can also be used with
applications in environments which are subject to electromagnetic
interference. Electromagnetic interference can limit the maximum distance
and reliability of operation.

3.2 System Overview

The KVM Extender consists of at least one IP CPU module and one
CON module. The various modules are summarized respectively in a
vario chassis (2-fold, 4-fold or 6-fold) at CPU site and CON site (CPU and
CON Unit).

The IP CPU module is connected the source (computer, CPU) via TCP/IP
network cable.

The CON module is connected to the console (monitor, keyboard and
mouse).

The CPU Unit and the CON modules communicate with each other
through the interconnect cables.

6.2 Shared Operation of redundant CPU Units

CPU Units with a redundant connector for interconnect cables offer the
possibility for a competing control by two connected CON Units.

Taking over control is performed using a keyboard and/or mouse. The
release timer function determines the release time of the input devices at
one of the CON Units after that control can be taken over from the second
CON Unit.

Operation

2018-07-12 39

In order to configure a redundant CPU Unit for the operation with two
competing CON Units, proceed as follows:

1. Connect a redundant CPU Unit to any source (computer, CPU) by
using a mini USB connection.

2. Open the file "Config.txt" that is located on the appearing flash drive
of the extender.

3. Activate the release timer by writing the parameter RELEASETIME=n
into the second line. The variable "n" defines the time in seconds and
has to be replaced by the numbers 0 to 9 (e.g. RELEASETIME=5).
If this parameter is not activated at all, the release time is set to
2 seconds by default.
The parameter RELEASETIME=X deactivates the shared operation.

4. Save your changes.

5. Reboot the CPU Unit.
