ULTRACONSOLE INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL 15
Jumper JP1 should be removed on Unit #1 and another switch that will divide the “RING” into approximately equal
cable length distances.
(See Figure 4 for a typical example)
Steps:
(Perform steps 1-13 described in the “BUS” installation first, page 14)
(NOTE: Disconnect all cables before removing any expansion card)
1. Remove power from all UltraConsole switches.
2. Connect an expansion cable from Unit #1’s “OUT” connector to the last Units “IN” connector to complete the
“Ring”.
3. Remove the expansion card on Unit #1 and the other switch that divide the “RING” into equal distances and
remove jumper JP1 (See Figure 1), then replace the expansion cards, cables, and apply power to the two
UltraConsole switches that jumper JP1 was removed. All other UltraConsole switches should have power off at
this time.
4. Make sure a KVM station is connected to UltraConsole #1.
5. Turn on the KVM stations video monitor and apply power to the remaining UltraConsole switches. (Wait for
the internal diagnostic check to complete and fade out).
6. Switch the KVM station to CPU port #1 on Unit #1 by pressing and releasing the left control [Ctrl] key, type in
“1” and press [Enter].
7. Pre-configure the CPU port, if needed, as outlined in steps 4a-e on page 12 if the computer being connected
does not use a PC2 type keyboard or 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 is needed.
8. Boot the computer if power is not applied. 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.
9. Verify that the keyboard, video, and mouse on the connected computer function properly before proceeding.
10. Switch the KVM station to the next sequential CPU port as explained in step 6 and perform steps 7 – 9 for this
computer and for the remaining computers.
11. Connect other KVM stations as needed to the UltraConsole switch and verify they operate properly. (See
appendix F)
This completes the basic installation of a “RING” configuration.
A KVM station connected to any UltraConsole switch can connect to any computer in the “RING”. Other
configuration parameters can be set-up for the system, computers, KVM stations, users, profiles, groups, and
languages. See the “Configuration menu” section for instructions on setting up these items.
These installation steps are a guideline for installing multiple switches in a “RING” topology. Following these steps
verify, that through the installation process, everything functions properly.
Please refer to the Operations section for using the UltraConsole switch.
