10 ULTRACONSOLE INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
STEPS: (See Figure 2 for an example of a single Unit installation)
(Refer to the troubleshooting section for help if needed)
1. Connect a KVM station to the UltraConsole switches DB25F, KVM connector using the appropriate KVM cable.
2. Turn on the KVM stations video monitor and the UltraConsole.
(Wait for the internal diagnostic check to complete and fade out)
3. Switch the KVM station to the CPU port being configured (starting with CPU port #1). This is done by pressing
and releasing the left control [Ctrl] key and within 2 seconds, type in the CPU port # being configured (starting
with port 1) and press [Enter]. A connection dialog box will display showing the connection status. (Figure 17)
4. Pre-configure the CPU port, if needed, as outlined in steps 4a-e if the computer being connected does not use a
PC2 type keyboard or a PS/2 mouse (defaults). Pre-configure the CPU port before connecting the computer. If
the computer uses a PC2 type keyboard and PS/2 mouse, connect it to the corresponding CPU port. No pre-
configuration of the CPU port is needed.
Pre-Configuration procedure
1. Call up the configuration menu system by pressing and releasing the left [Ctrl] key, then the [F12] key. (Figure 5)
a. Select “Computer” and press [Enter] (Figure 7)
b. Select the computer to change the default keyboard and/or mouse type, and then select the keyboard or
mouse field for the selected computer and press [Enter]. A selection box will display listing the supported
keyboard or mouse types.
c. Select the correct keyboard or mouse type for the selected computer and press [Enter].
d. Connect the computer to the pre-configured CPU port
2. Boot the computer the KVM station is connected to if the computer power was off. You should see the boot-up
sequence on the KVM monitor. If the computer was connected to a pre-configured CPU port with power applied,
you should see that computers video.
3. Verify that the keyboard, video, and mouse on the connected compute function properly before proceeding.
4. Switch the KVM station to the next sequential CPU port (step 3) and perform steps 4-6 for the remaining
computers.
5. When all computers are connected and operating properly, change the “Maximum Computers” value from the
default value of 64 to the correct number of computers connected to the single unit. This will limit the scanning
function to the actual number of computers that are connected. Change the “Maximum Computers” value as
follows:
a. Call up the main menu {Ctrl], F12) (Figure 5)
b. Select “System” and press [Enter] (Figure 6)
c. Select “Maximum computers” and press [Enter}
d. Enter the correct “Maximum computers” value and press [Enter]
e. Press [Esc] to return to the main menu
f. Save the changes and EXIT. (Figure 14)
This completes the basic installation for a single Unit. You can switch to any of the attached computers from the
keyboard by pressing and releasing the left control [Ctrl] key, typing in the computer port number to switch to and
press [Enter]. You can also switch to a computer by displaying the “Computer select” menu (left control [Ctrl] key,
then press the [ESC] key). Select the computer to switch to from the list and press [Enter]. You will be immediately
switched to that computer. (Figure 16).
To customize the configuration settings for the system, computers, KVM station, users, profiles, groups, and
language see the Configuration Menu section for details.
