Page 57: Chapter 5: Installing Expansion Units
Installing Expansion Units Overview To expand your XP4000 system beyond the confines of a single unit, you will need to integrate transmitter and receiver boards into your system. Connecting a transmitter in one unit to a receiver in another unit lets you combine multiple XP4000 Series units into one system.
Page 58: Installation
Installation In order to successfully configure and install your expansion system, you will need to address each of the following considerations: 1) XP4000 Series unit Placement 2) Computer/User Console Distribution 3) Transmitter/Receiver Board Configuration 4) Transmitter/Receiver Board and Expansion Cable Installation There are two basic types of expansion configurations: star and daisy chain.
Page 59: Daisy Chain
DAISY CHAIN STAR UNIT 4 Sample configurations (Recommended for 60 or fewer attached computers) UNIT 4 UNIT 3 UNIT 2 150' 250' 250' 250' 150' UNIT 1 CONFIGURATION 1 200' In configurations 1 and 2, the user in Unit 1 can UNIT 1 access any attached computer in units 1-4.
Page 60: Computer/User Console Distribution
Computer/ Once you have mapped out your optimal unit configuration, you'll need to determine the placement of computers and user consoles within your system. User Console Distribution As you plan, consider the following: 1) In order for an attached computer to transmit its signal to users outside its own XP4000 Series unit, there must be a transmitter present in the unit.
Page 61 Figure 5-1 below shows the path availability across units. UNIT 3 UNIT 1 UNIT 2 In the above example, the user at Unit 1 would like to access computer 2H. There is a valid path out of Unit 1 to accommodate that. However, all four paths in Unit 2 are currently taken by the four local users.
Page 62: Transmitter/Receiver Board Configuration
Transmitter/ Before installing your transmitter and receiver boards in your XP4000 system, you will need to configure them for your system requirements. There are two Receiver Board steps to configuring your expansion boards: Configuration 1) Configuring the 8-position DIP switch on the transmitter boards with a unit address.
Page 63: Expansion Port
Configuring the Transmitter /Receiver Board Jumpers Every transmitter and receiver pair must be configured for the length of the expansion cable that connects them together. Follow the steps below for each transmitter/receiver pair in your system: 1) Orient your first transmitter/receiver pair as shown below. Note that most components have been removed to simplify the drawings.

Position the unit so that the rear panel is facing you, and choose an Cable Installation available slot. 2. Remove the panel covering the available slot by unscrewing the two Phillips-head screws on the rear of the unit that hold the panel in place.
Page 66 CABLE PINOUT (BELDEN 1583A OR EQUIVALENT) If you are using the front access model of the XP4040, the green LED will light when the cable in either port is installed correctly. Similarly, if you have transmitters in the same unit with conflicting unit addresses, the green LED will flash.

Page 68 The XP4400 consists of a 9U high chassis, containing two power supplies, two fan assemblies and a user specified number of transmitter and receiver modules. The power supplies are fully redundant and hot swappable, allowing you to replace one at any time without powering down the system. Fan assemblies are also hot swappable, but both are needed to cool a fully loaded XP4400 chassis.

There are many configurations possible with the XP4400 in your XP4000 system. Below are several common examples. For a configuration sample Configurations specific to your system, contact the Cybex Sales Department. 16 x 128 matrix This configuration illustrates a matrix of 16 users with the simultaneous capability to access 128 attached computers.
Page 78 The addition of 256 additional computers added 2 XP4400 units to the prior system. Therefore, this configuration utilizes 3 XP4400 units, 48 XP4080 chassis to connect computers to the system, and 4 XP4040 chassis to connect the users.
Page 79 This configuration is especially useful when a large number of users need simultaneous access to several hundred system computers. This configuration utilizes 4 XP4400 units, 32 XP4080 chassis to connect computers to the system, and 8 XP4040 chassis to connect the users.

The <Enter> command is used to execute an instruction and exit from Command Mode.
Page 86: Keyboard Switching
Keyboard All users may utilize a short keyboard sequence to switch between channels. A “Hotkey” sequence places your system in Command Mode. While in Switching Command Mode, whatever you type will be interpreted as system commands until the Enter or the Escape key is pressed to end Command Mode, and will not be forwarded to the attached computer.
Page 87: Multiuser Operation
Multiuser There are three ways to utilize the multiuser capabilities of the XP4000 Series. You may access computers independently, share access of computers Operation with other consoles, or use a combination of independent and shared access. Each option is described below. Independent Access Up to four users per unit may operate four different attached computers independently at the same time.
Page 88 Shared Access If two or more consoles need to access the same computer, they can ‘share’ access to it through the XP4000 Series unit. Sharing means that multiple consoles can view a computer channel at the same time, but only one can enter data through the keyboard or mouse at any given moment.
Page 89 Example: User Console 1 is currently using computer A. Consoles 2 and 3 are sharing access of computer A with Console 1. When all keyboard and mouse activity stops at Console 1, either Console 2 or Console 3 can take control of computer A. Only one console can work on computer A at a time.
Page 90 Combined Access You can combine independent and shared access within one XP4000 Series system. Up to four consoles per unit have independent access to four different computers. If a fifth console enters the system, that user can share computer access with any of the other four consoles. User Console 5 User Console 4 u t e...
Page 91: Multimedia Operation
Multimedia The XP4000 Series unit supports speakers and a microphone at every user console in the system. If you have purchased user interface and computer Operation interface cables with multimedia capabilities, then you will have access to these features. The speakers and/or microphone that you have connected to your console will work exactly as if they are connected directly to your computer.
Page 92: Keyscan
KeyScan KeyScan lets you automatically scan your computer channels sequentially without intervention. When KeyScan detects keyboard or mouse activity, scanning is suspended until all activity stops. Scanning then resumes with the next channel in sequence. The length of time each computer channel remains on screen, or dwell time, is configurable and changeable at any time.
Page 93: Broadcast Mode
Broadcast Broadcast Mode allows each user to send commands to multiple computers within your system at the same time. By creating your own customized “broadcast Mode groups”, you can designate which computers you want to broadcast to. Once you enter Broadcast Mode, whatever you type is sent to all of the computers in your group regardless of which channel is active.
Page 94: Follow Mode
Follow Mode Follow Mode allows a user to follow another user's channel switching. For example, John and Melissa are both users in an XP4000 Series system. John wants to automatically change channels along with Melissa. John places his console in Follow Mode, designating Melissa's user console as the leader. Now, whenever Melissa changes to any channel, John automatically switches to the same.
Page 95: Command Forwarding
Commands from one user can be sent to a remote user via command forwarding. Command For example, Melissa is training John and needs for him to be in Follow Mode. Forwarding With Command Forwarding, Melissa can put John’s system into Follow mode from a remote location without any intervention on his part.
Page 97: Xpdu Module And On-Screen Display
XPDU Module and On-Screen Display Overview The XPDU module is a user console module of the XP4000 Series. It is similar to the XPLU module in that it allows a user to connect a keyboard, monitor and mouse to an XP4000 Series unit. However, the XPDU also supports many advanced features for the XP4000 Series user.
