MORE THAN 4 KVMS

CPUs 1-16

CPUs 33-48

Slot 1

Slot 2

Slot 3

Slot 4

The UltraMatrix supports up to 4 KVMs with non-blocking access. You can connect more than 4 KVMs, usually for local access to computers on a specific box. This will create some blocking as described further.

The concept of a local KVM is a useful one. It is often desirable to have a KVM located right next to the CPUs for maintenance or access to the CPU's drives, network connection, or other physical access.

When a KVM connects outside of its box, this will cause a conflict with all KVMs on the same slot position. The new connection will cause a "video path cancel" message to appear on all KVMs at the same slot position.

As long as all KVMs on a given slot position connect only to CPUs in their own box, then there will be no video conflict. As soon as any of the KVMs on a given slot position connect to a CPU outside of their box, then all other KVMs on that slot position will get a video path cancel.

In the example shown here, there are three slot 1 KVMs, which can have potential conflicts. KVMs on slots 2, 3, and 4 will never have any conflicts.

It is possible to configure the system to prevent access of a KVM to CPUs outside of its box, preventing conflicts from ever occurring. This is done by giving each KVM a profile with an access group set to include only its CPU ports.

SWITCHING TO COMPUTERS

You can switch to computers through three different methods:

1. - Pressing and releasing the left control and then hitting the escape key brings up the computer select menu. Use the arrow keys and the page up and page down to highlight a computer and hit enter to switch to it.

2. - If you know the number of the computer you want to switch to then press and release the left control key, enter the numeric value using the number keys below the function keys, and hit enter to switch.

3. - Specify the KVM value with Knnn where nnn is the 1-255 KVM number of the card desired. Specify the CPU number with Cnnnn where nnnn is the 1 to 1000 computer number of the CPU desired. Send S to switch or question for an inquiry. <cr> below means carriage return (value 13).

For example: K1C3S<cr> Switches KVM 1 to computer 3 For example: K2?<cr> Returns which computer KVM 2 is connected to

in the form K2CnnnRxx<cr> where nnn is the computer connected or last connected and xx is the status value described previously on the status page.

SECURITY

User ID Password

There are several types of security features in the product.

1. Configuration password This feature is used to prevent unauthorized access to the configuration

menus. The password is entered from the configure system page. Any subsequent access to the configuration page will require this password.

There is a password defeat jumper, in case the password is forgotten. The jumper is marked on the CPU cards. The unit is shipped with no jumper. If this jumper is installed., the unit will behave as if no password is present.

2. Switch login On the configure KVM page there is a selection for login yes/no. If you

say yes all access to the box from this KVM will require a user id and password as shown to the left. Once the password is entered correctly, the profile assigned to the user via the configure user page will be active. The settings of that profile are assigned on the configure profile page.

3. User access group Each KVM has a user assigned to it. This is determined by the settings

on the configure KVM page. If login=yes, then the user is from the value entered at the login box. If login=no, then the user name is from the user field adjacent to the login=no field. Each user has a profile from the configure user page and each profile has an access group. The access group can be configure to allow or deny access to any computer.
