Appendix H – KVM placement / conflicts
In an expanded system with multiple UltraMatrix Remotes, no user conflicts will occur provided the KVM stations are
on different KVM ports. That is one KVM station on KVM port #1, and one on KVM
port #2 for the 2 usermodel
;
one
on KVM port #3 and one on KVM
port #4 for the 4 user model.
It is possible, in an expanded system with multiple UltraMatrix Remote units, to connect additional KVM stations to
the system. This allows more than 2 or 4 users access to the computers.
When doing this, all users on the same KVM port must
share the same video path from switch to switch. (KVM port
#1 on UltraMatrix #1 and KVM port #1 on UltraMatrix #3) As long as all KVM # 1
users only connect to the
computers that are attached to their local Unit, they can operate with no conflicts. If a user on KVM #1 connects to a
computer on a different UltraMatrix remote, the KVM #1 user on that Unit will be disconnected and the error message
“Video path canceled” will appear.
KVM's 2, 3, and 4 do not have the option of more than one concurrent user as does KVM 1. If a second KVM 2, 3, or
4 tries to access the system all other KVM's of the same number will be disconnected. If they try to re-connect, they
will simply cause the other KVM user to be disconnected.
Each CPU card contains a local KVM port and a remote KVM port. Remote users and local users have the same
requirements, only one user per KVM port (local or remote).
