revision level, system configuration and even upgrade the firmware to keep
your system current at all times.
FLASH technology allows the XP Series firmware to be updated without ever
removing a module or even powering down the system. New firmware revisions
can be uploaded into the XP4000 Series through the serial port. The latest
firmware revisions are available to all users through Technical Support or via
the internet.
Since the XP Series units are component based products, all modules are field-
replaceable plug-in boards. They can be added or replaced without
disassembling or even powering down the switch or attached computers. This
capability makes installation, configuration and maintenance much simpler.
The "Keep Alive" capability of the XP Series allows attached computers to power
the computer modules in the event of a power failure. Keeping the modules
powered up in an emergency prevents the computers from locking up needlessly.
The optional ReBoot xP allows you to control the power to computers in your
XP Series system individually. No matter where a system computer is located,
you can cycle the power, or "reboot", an attached computer from your XP
Series unit.
The following models of mice have been tested and are known to be compatible
with the XP Series:
Microsoft Serial-PS/2 mouse
Microsoft OEM style serial mouse
Microsoft Intellimouse
Sun Microsystems Laser mouse
Apple ADB mouse
Other manufacturers' mice generally operate with the XP Series. If you
experience problems using an untested mouse, contact Cybex Technical Support
with the manufacturer and model number of the mouse.
Monitors at all consoles must be capable of synchronizing with any attached
computer's video rate. If you are unsure whether your monitors are of the
multisync type, consult the monitor documentation or contact your dealer.
Use only Cybex supplied cable with the XP Series. Poorly constructed or
miswired cabling will diminish video quality and possibly damage equipment.
Cybex warranties do not apply to damage resulting from user supplied cables.
The XP4000 Series supports all externally powered speakers using 3.5 mm
miniplugs. Use powered speakers with the XP Series for best performance.
The XP4000 Series supports "mono" microphones with 3.5 mm miniplugs.
Powered microphones are not recommended; if a computer channel is selected
that supplies power to the microphones, the microphone volume may be muted
on that channel.
The XP4000 Series supports RS-232 serial devices using hardware or inband
flow control: hardware up to 9600 Baud, inband to 115200 Baud.
