Page 8: About This Manual
HID devices (Human Interface Device) such as touch screens, graphics tablets, barcode readers or similar USB devices may be successful – but there is no guarantee for this! The Orion™ KVM standard device is NOT suitable for use with other USB devices such as scanners, web-cams, data sticks etc. -
Page 9: Compatibility
Fiber DDC Information Normally, it is not necessary to make any adjustments to the Orion KVM/ Media device. However, in some circumstances, it may be necessary to redefine the source of DDC information for the CPU. By default, the unit uses its own internal DDC table. -
Page 10: System Overview
Synchronized switching The Orion unit can be set-up to control the switching features of other Orion units. When the master unit is switched to a selected CPU port, all other Orion units configured for synchronization will also switch to that CPU port. The main unit is assigned a unique IP address compatible with the existing network. -
Page 11: Orion Model Description
Models that have mixed CATx and Fiber modules should be used with care. A CATx CONx KVM station can not connect to a fiber CPUx port or a fiber CONx KVM station can not connect to a CATx CPUx port. Remember, connect only CATx to CATx and Fiber to Fiber. Orion Installation and Operations Manual... -

Page 51: Appendix D - Serial Switching Commands
Appendix D – Serial switching commands Using the serial interface, the whole switch matrix of the Orion™ Switch can be controlled. The functionality corresponds to the Switching in OSD / Crosspoint Mode. Optionally, the Unit echoes all executed switch commands via either the serial interface or the network interface. By means of this echo, the actual switch status of the switch can be monitored at any time and user applications can be realized based on this echo. - Page 52 CON Ports available, requires 16x 0x80!

Page 57: Appendix G - Synchronize Switching
Appendix G – Synchronize Switching The synchronize switching feature of the Orion unit allows you to switch one or more Orion units to the same port automatically. Once configured, the port switching command issued to the Orion master unit will be sent to one or more Orion secondary units. - Page 58 11. Save the information and restart (power cycle) the Secondary Orion Unit With these settings, the “Master” Orion unit will send the port switching command to all connected “Secondary” units. Switching commands can be issued from the OSD or the keyboard.
