Connecting A Follower Central Module; Kvm Matrix-Grid™ (Subject To A Charge) - G&D ControlCenter-Compact Manual

Connecting a follower central module

How to connect a follower central module to a leader device:
1. Configure the same number of dynamic ports as up ports as consoles that you
want to allow to simultaneously access the follower central module.
2. Now connect the configured
leader device.
3. Connect the computer modules or other follower central modules to the follower
central module (up to 2 cascade levels).
4. Check and, if necessary, change the cascade mode of the leader and/or the
follower central module.
KVM Matrix-Grid™ (subject to a charge)
The premium function
the Matrix-Grid to connect either console modules, computer modules or grid lines
(see below). While a cascade increases only the number of connectable computer
modules, the matrix grid allows the universal expansion of existing KVM installa-
tions.
Additionally, the function removes the limitations of the top-down structure within
cascades and enables bidirectional communication between console modules and
computer modules connected to different matrix switches. This allows you to com-
bine several digital matrix switches to one large network of matrix switches. Con-
sole modules and computer modules can be connected to any matrix switch
included in the Matrix-Grid.
All console modules can access any computer module (independently of the matrix
switch to which they are connected).
The system takes over the (bidirectional) routing of KVM signals and chooses the
ideal signal path between modules.
