  • Page 4: Matrix-Hub System Overview

    1.0 Matrix-Hub System Overview The Matrix-Hub Series 1000 is a matrix switch for the entire desktop. The switch may route video, keyboard/mouse, and serial connections using an integrated user interface. Each type of connection may be individually managed or may be integrated to operate with one or both of the other connection types.

  • Page 5: Matrix-Hub Components

    (see section 7.0, Electroluminescent Display). The Series 1000 has redundant power supplies with separate AC inputs. Each power supply is a set of two individual power supplies that provides separate +5VDC and –5VDC. In ordinary operation, the two power supply sets share the electrical current load equally.
  • Page 6 Power Supplies – Series 1000 Chassis Front pair provides +5 VDC Rear pair provides –5 VDC Every chassis has three switch cards. Each switch card handles one element of video signals (red, green, or blue), and two of the switch cards also handle keyboard and mouse signals (serial signals are switched internally by the serial cards and are not routed through the switch cards).

  • Page 7: Adding And Removing Cards

    Back of Matrix-Hub Series 1000 Chassis with All Cards 2.1 Adding and Removing Cards Matrix-Hub cards may be purchased separately at any time to expand the capacity or change the functionality of an existing unit. The user may add or remove cards in the field quite easily, allowing for great flexibility of existing systems.
  • Page 8 All cards for the Series 1000 have metal key tabs protruding along their inside edge near the backplane connectors. These tabs prevent the insertion of keyboard/mouse, serial, or control cards into slots designated for video or switch cards.

    Key Tabs – Series 1000 Cards left – keyboard/mouse input & output, serial input & output, control right – matrix switch, video input & output 2.2 Replacing Failed Power Supplies If a power supply fails in a unit, it may be replaced in the field if necessary. Be sure the failure is not due to a damaged power cord or a faulty outlet.

    3.0 Video Cards Video Input, Part Number 400.100.1001 Video Output, Part Number 400.100.1002 Video input cards (part number 400.100.1001) and video output cards (part number 400.100.1002) are located in the four slots immediately surrounding the switch cards, two to each side. The input cards are located to the left, while output cards are located to the right.
  • Page 11 Video Port Numbering Scheme Each card has five HD15 female connectors. From the connectors, the input card routes red, green, and blue video signals, as well as horizontal and vertical sync and three monitor ID lines to the switch cards. The switch cards then pass the signals selected output card connector(s).

  • Page 13 RJ 45 Extender Output Card, Part Number 400.000.2010 The keyboard/mouse input cards (PS/2: part number 400.100.2001 or RJ 45: part number 400.000.2009) and keyboard/mouse output cards (PS/2: part number 400.100.2002 or RJ 45: part number 400.000.2010) are located in the four slots immediately outboard from the video cards, two to each side.
  • Page 14 PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse Port Numbering Scheme RJ 45 Keyboard/Mouse Port Numbering Scheme There are two types of keyboard/mouse cards: PS/2 and RJ 45 Extender. The PS/2 cards are designed to connect directly CPUs, keyboards, and mice to the Matrix-Hub using PS/2 cables. The RJ 45 Extender cards are designed to work with Lightwave’s PS/2 Keyboard/Mouse Cat5 Extender or VDEs, either separately or together.

    5.0 Serial Cards Input Card, Part Number 400.100.3001 Output Card, Part Number 400.100.3002 The serial input cards (part number 400.100.3001) and serial output cards (part number 400.100.3002) are located in the four slots immediately to the left of the control card. Unlike other card types, any combination of inputs and outputs may be mixed in the four serial slots so long as the inputs are to the left and the outputs are to the right.

  • Page 18 Numbering Scheme for Three Input Cards and One Output Card The serial cards support both RS-232 and RS-422 connections through DB9 connectors. The serial protocol is determined by the command used at the control card to make the connection (see section 8.4.1, Serial Connections). The serial cards will also support the stereo emi tter used with 3D visualization.

  • Page 19: Switch And Control Cards

    6.0 Switch and Control Cards Switch Card, Part Number 400.100.1003 Control Card, Part Number 400.100.1004 Three switch cards and one control card are included in each Matrix-Hub chassis. The switch cards are located in the three slots between the video input cards and the video output cards.
  • Page 20 The control card (part number 400.100.1004) coordinates and reports actions within the Matrix-Hub. It provides the user interfaces, initiates connections between cards, and stores macros and other connectivity shortcuts in memory. There are two DB9 connectors on the control card; one is male, while the other is female.

  • Page 21: Electroluminescent Display

    7.0 Electroluminescent Display Electroluminescent Display in Screen Saver Mode The electroluminescent (EL) display allows the user to access the Matrix-Hub’s internal diagnostics and active connection list through the front panel. The two buttons located immediately below the display control the EL display. When not in use, the display goes into a screen saver mode and displays a moving Matrix- Hub logo.
  • Page 22 Electroluminescent Display Showing Sample Connections List – For video cards: input port 4 is connected to output port 1 and input port 3 is connected to output port 3; for keyboard/mouse cards: input port 4 is connected to output port 1 and input port 3 is connected to output port 3. Pressing the left button displays the active connection list.
  • Page 23 Electroluminescent Display Showing Sample Installed Cards List – Chassis in this example has two input cards of each type, but only one output card of each type. Pressing the right button displays the installed cards list. The cards are listed in the same order they are mounted in the chassis.

  • Page 24: User Interface

    (i.e., an ASCII terminal, a PC running a terminal program, a network interface, etc.). Internal to the Matrix-Hub Series 1000, each card type is divided into separate chassis. Video cards are chassis 1, keyboard/mouse cards are chassis 2, and serial cards are chassis 3.

    a dash. Output ports may be individually disconnected from the broadcast using the disconnect command The D, or disconnect, command will disconnect the specified ports from one another. This command may also be used to disconnect all the connections in the Matrix-Hub or all connections in an internal chassis.

  • Page 28: Entity Commands

    8.5 Entity Commands Entities allow the user to define a group of input or output ports that should be connected together. This allows resources to be switched as a group to an end user. Inputs are grouped together in source entities, while outputs are grouped together in destination entities.

  • Page 29: Macro Commands

    Entities may be connected to one another using the C command in the form C SOURCE_ENTITY DESTINATION_ENTITY or may be disconnected with the D command using the same syntax. If an entity is connected to another entity, and is then specified in a new connect command, then that entity will be switched to the new connection.

    macros that are defined in Matrix-Hub memory. If a macro name is specified at the command line, the commands defined for the macro will be listed. The MN command creates a new macro. The name of the new macro must follow the command or an error message will be returned and a new macro will not be created.

  • Page 32: Appendix A - Control Card Settings

    Appendix A - Control Card Settings There are three DIP switches mounted on the surface of the control card that allow the user to change the control card parameters. One DIP switch (SW1) is reserved for system use and should not be changed. The other switches (SW2 and SW3) change the control card IN port baud rate and user interface options.
