Page 68: Managing Device Assignments
Configuration Details Managing Device Assignments Connex central stations keep track of which devices are assigned to which station. In the stand-alone environment, this fairly simple as there is only one central station for devices to connect to. In a multi-system environment, devices are typically configured to connect with an assigned central station.

Page 98: Network, Printer, Date & Time Config
The Connex Central Station is intended and designed to support automatic startup of the Connex CS application when the CPU starts. To support this, the system is configured to operate in the Connex CS Shell mode. This shell mode blocks general users access to Windows functions, such as the Windows key, Ctrl+Alt+Delete, and Alt+Tab.

Page 104: Repeater Display Install
Repeater Display Install Repeater Display Install A repeater display option, available with Connex CS v1.5 and higher, provides a method for data displayed at the Central Station to be replicated at another location. Repeater displays provide a view only, with no local control over the data or content being shown.
Page 105: Before You Begin
Before you begin... The steps included here require that the central station is completely installed, configured, and ready to use. CAUTION Always complete installation of the central station and confirm basic functional operation before attaching any repeater display components. If possible, it is recommended to temporarily set up the Repeater Display near the Central Station so that configuration can be observed on both screens simultaneously.
Page 106: Type 1 - Single Repeater Via Standard Copper Hdmi Cable
100 Repeater Display Install Type 1 - single repeater via standard copper HDMI cable The cooper HDMI cable, as pictured below, can carry video and audio signals over a short distance to enable a direct one-connector hookup between the central station and the repeater display.
Page 107: Type 2 - Single Repeater Via Hdmi Cable With Signal Boosters
Type 2 - single repeater via HDMI cable with signal boosters Another solution for a single repeater display includes the use of an HDMI cable with a signal booster. The usual specification length of the maximum run for HDMI cable is about 50 feet due to the fact that when HDMI cable length gets too long the signal starts to lose strength which results in a picture distortion.
Page 108: Type 3 - Single Repeater Via Fiber Optic Hdmi Cable
102 Repeater Display Install 6. Proceed to “Central Station configuration for repeater display” to complete the installation process. Type 3 - single repeater via fiber optic HDMI cable As an alternative for long HDMI cable, a fiber-optic HDMI cable can also be used for a single repeater display.
Page 109: Type 4 - Multiple Repeater Display With Hdmi Video Splitter
4. The RX connector has hard-wired or detachable USB cable. 5. If repeater display / TV has a USB port, connect the USB plug to an available USB port on the display. This provides power to the fiber optic HDMI connector without the need for an external power supply.
