ULTRAVIEW PRO INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL
CPU connection
All CPU connectors on the UltraView Pro are DB25F. The CPUs are
connected to the UltraView Pro using a CPU cable designed to interface
with the CPU type such as a PC, SUN or Apple. A CPU cable is needed for
each connected Computer.
Cascading Units
The UltraView Pro is designed to allow for expanding from a single unit to
multiple units. When set up in this configuration, one unit is designated as
the master unit and the other UltraView Pro units are designated as slave
units. Each CPU connector on the master unit can be connected to the
KVM connector on a slave unit. Using a 16 port UltraView Pro as the
master and 16 port units for the 16 slaves, expands the capability to 256
computers. A switch-to-switch cable for each slave unit is needed.
Menu system
The UltraView Pro’s menu system makes it very easy to configure the
system (KVM station and unit), the connected computers, the colors,
resolution, screen saver, and the general appearance of the on-screen
displays and labels.
To access the UltraView Pro’s menu system, first press and release the left
control <Ctrl> key. Then, within 2 seconds, press the F12 key. The main
configuration menu will display.
To navigate through the configuration menus, use the up/down arrow keys
to select the section needing configuration. Once the section is selected
(highlighted), pressing enter will either display that sections configuration
menu, display an input box to enter new values, or show a list of available
choices.
To exit the menu system select Exit from the main configuration menu and
press enter. If any changes have been made you will be prompted to either
save the changes or exit without saving the new configurations. If you
choose yes, the changes are saved to flash memory. If you choose no, the
changes will stay in effect as long as the unit has power. Once power is
removed from the unit, unless saved, all changes are discarded.
Each item in the menu system is explained in detail in the menu section of
this manual.
