ULTRAMATRIX REMOTE 2 INSTALLATION AND OPERATIONS MANUAL 59
9. Sequentially apply power, and then connect the expansion cables to the remaining switches as explained in steps
7 and 8. Always with power on the unit and from the “OUT” connector of the Unit being added to the “IN” connector
of the previously installed Unit.
10. When all Bus cabling is in place and reporting properly to the status screen, save the configuration to update all
boards in the system.
Verifying the Video path
Steps 11, 12, and 13 verify that the video path is properly routed to a KVM station and all cabling is connected
properly. Make sure all Units are on, all Bus cabling is in place and a KVM station is connected to Unit#1, KVM #1 port.
11. Connect a computer to any CPU port on the last KVM switch. Switch the KVM station to this CPU port by pressing
and releasing the left control [Ctrl] key, type in the CPU port number, then press [Enter]. This connects the KVM
station to that CPU port.
12. Boot the computer; you should see the boot-up sequence on the KVM monitor. If no video is seen, see the
troubleshooting section.
13. Connect other KVM stations, if needed, to the UltraMatrix “E” switches and verify they operate properly.
Connecting the computers
If power must be maintained on a computer, perform steps 4a-f on page 12 to pre-configure the keyboard and mouse
types, if needed, before connecting the computers. Though not required, the following steps assume that all CPU
ports will be utilized and the computers installed sequentially.
(All Units in the system should have power “ON” and no configuration menu displaying on any KVM monitor.)
14. Make sure all KVM stations video monitors and all Units have power applied and a KVM station on Unit #1.
15. Switch the KVM station to CPU port # “x” (starting with x=1) by pressing and releasing the left control [Ctrl] key and
within 2 seconds, type in 1 (or the CPU port # being configured) and press [Enter]. A connection dialog box will
display.
16. If the computer being connected does not use a PC2 type keyboard or a PS/2 mouse (defaults), pre-configure the
CPU port as outlined in steps 4a-f on page 12 before connecting the computer. If the computer uses a PC2 type
keyboard and a PS/2 mouse, connect it to the corresponding CPU port with the appropriate CPU cable. No pre-
configuration is needed.
17. 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.
18. Verify that the keyboard, video, and mouse on the connected computer function properly before proceeding.
19. Switch the KVM station to the next sequential CPU port as explained in step 14 and perform steps 15 - 17 for this
computer and for the remaining computers.
When all computers are connected to the KVM switches and functioning properly, the basic installation of a “BUS”
configuration is complete. Local and remote connections to UltraMatrix Remote 2 can switch to any computer in the
system.
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 and the Operations section for using
the UltraMatrix Remote 2 switch.
These installation steps are a guideline for installing multiple switches in a “BUS” topology. Following these steps
verify, that through the installation process, everything functions properly.
