ULTRAMATRIX REMOTE 2 INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL

The remote configuration procedure should be done on all IP input modules. From a remote network workstation, start
a web browser and enter the next IP Input module’s assigned IP address in a web browser’s URL field. When the
option screen displays, repeat the remote configuration for this and all other IP input modules.

This basically covers the configuration of the IP input modules and allows user access to the unit. Following is the
additional KVM switch module configuration. Some configurations are needed to assure proper functionality and other
configurations are optional.

KVM Switch Module Configuration

Connect to the unit directly from the local KVM station or remotely from a network workstation. If you are connecting
from a remote workstation, you must use the VNC Viewer and not the VNC Java applet to access the KVM Switch
module’s OSD. When you are connected and the host computer’s video is displayed, press and release the left Ctrl
key, then within 2 seconds press the F12 key. The press and release of the left Ctrl key notifies the KVM Switch
module that the next command issued within 2 seconds is a command for the KVM Switch, not a connected computer.
The F12 key will invoke the KVM switch modules OSD main menu shown below.

Figure 20. KVM Switch OSD - Main Menu

The Main configuration menu is the starting point for the configuration menus. From this menu, you can configure the
KVM Switch modules system, computers, KVMs, users, profiles, groups, and languages. To display the “Main menu”
press and release the left control [Ctrl] key, then the F12 key. The main menu will display on top of a currently
connected computers video. If no computer is connected to supply the video, the display’s background is black.

The text box at the bottom of the menu screen provides a brief explanation of the menu option selected.

The following pages explain the UltraMatrix Remote 2 menus and the options available.

Save the changes made to any menu. If not saved, the changes will be lost when power is removed
from a Unit. All menu commands must be entered within 2 seconds of each other
or the command is aborted.
