KVM user stations. CATx is used to connect the computers and user stations to the Orion XC unit. Using CATx cabling the distance can be up to 460 feet (140m) on either side of the matrix. This greatly reduces the cable bulk and makes installation easier, quicker, and less expensive. -
Page 11: About This Manual
Intuitive OSD for easy use and configuration at each user station Each port on the Orion XC will automatically be configured as an input or output depending on the type of extender that is connected. If a transmitter is connected, the port becomes an input. If a receiver is connected, the port becomes an output. -

(stacking) of several Orion XC devices. One of the Orion XC matrices is configured as the master matrix. All the others must be configured as slave matrix, with the IP address of the master matrix entered in the Master IP Address field. The slaves must be connected to the master matrix via the network connector (RJ45) of the CPU board????, and the Enable LAN Echi???? option must be activated at the master matrix. -
Page 18: Cascading
For applications exceeding the number of available ports, the system can be extended by cascading. In this case, the Orion XC devices are connected by so-called "tie lines". The tie lines are dynamically configured to support connections in both directions. -
Page 19: Configuration
CONFIGURATION Configuration The Orion XC switch is easy to configure. This can be done through keyboard commands in Command Mode, invoking the On-Screen Display, or using the Java Tool. These options are described below. Command Mode The Orion XC has a Command Mode that allows several functions via keyboard command during normal use. -
