Accessing Your Matrox Supersight - Matrox Supersight Installation And Hardware Reference

Accessing your Matrox Supersight

The following is a list of ways to access your Matrox Supersight SHB-5520:
• Use a keyboard, mouse, and display device. To interact with one SHB, connect
your keyboard to one USB port, and your mouse to the other. Connect your
display device to the analog video output connector. Repeat this process for each
SHB in your Matrox Supersight unit.
• Use a KVM switch. To interact with more than one SHB, use a KVM switch. A
KVM switch allows you to switch control between more than one SHB with only
a single keyboard, display device, and mouse. Connect one of the USB ports and
an analog video output connector from each of your unit's SHB boards to your
KVM switch.
• Use a remote connection from your development computer to one (or more)
SHB. To remotely connect to an SHB, first use a keyboard, mouse, and display
device to interact with the required SHB. Configure your SHB to be on the same
IP subnet as your development computer. Connect the Ethernet port of your SHB
to your network. Follow the guidelines in Microsoft help to enable remote
connections. Then, attach the mouse, keyboard, and display device to your next
SHB and repeat the process. Once each SHB is configured and connected, you
can use the remote connection utility to remotely control the required SHB from
your development computer.
❖ Note that the last option can be performed using your first SHB
development computer.
1. The first SHB is the SHB that is in the left-most SHB slot on the backplane, as seen
from the front panel (see the illustration in the Establishing which boards can be
installed section, in Chapter 3: Connecting devices to the backplane and to the
Matrox Supersight SHB-5520 board).
