1 XP4000 Series Overview Product Overviews The XP4000 Series products allow multiple users to operate PC-compatible, Macintosh, Sun, RS/6000, Silicon Graphics and Hewlett-Packard computers at the same time. A basic XP4000 system consists of users and computers that are all connected to one or more XP units. Any user in the system can access any attached computer by simply 'switching' to that channel through the XP unit.
interface (LCI) module. The LCI comes pre-installed in the unit. The remaining 13 slots in the unit may be configured as user consoles, attached computers, power control or expansion modules. There are 12 push-buttons on the front panel labeled A through L. These buttons select the active computer for the local console. The indicator lights (LEDs) over each push-button reflect the type of activity, if any, that is taking place on each attached computer.
Rear Access Rack Mount Model:XP4040ER Cybex also offers a rear access model designed for 19 inch rack use. It supports all the features of the XP4040E rear access unit. Rear Access Rack Mount Model:XP4080ER The XP4080ER rear access rack mount model supports all of the features of the XP4040ED and XP4040ER models. Additionally, with this model, users can access up to eight computers simultaneously and independently instead of the four supported by XP4040 models.
The XP4400 Unit The XP4400 chassis is designed to accommodate larger XP system installations. By channeling expansion signals from XP4040 users to attached computers, the XP4400 enables large configurations with fewer XP4040 units, transmitter/ receiver cards and cables in the system. The XP4400 consists of a 9U high chassis, containing two power supplies, two fan assemblies and a user specified number of XP4400 transmitter and receiver modules.
Each operation module, except the LCI, requires a cable to connect it to an attached computer, user console, or other XP4000 Series unit. Computer interface cables connect computers to the XP4000 Series unit. User interface cables connect users to the unit. Expansion cables may be as long as 250 feet and connect expansion units together. Typical cables are shown below.
If two or more users need access to the same computer, they can ‘share’ access to it through the XP units. Sharing means that multiple users can switch to the same computer at the same time. Everyone can see that computer's video, but only one can enter data at any given moment. Expansion capability If your total number of computers and users is greater than 14, use our expansion modules.
revision level, system configuration and even upgrade the firmware to keep your system current at all times. FLASH upgrading FLASH technology allows the XP Series firmware to be updated without ever removing a module or even powering down the system. New firmware revisions can be uploaded into the XP4000 Series through the serial port. The latest firmware revisions are available to all users through Technical Support or via the internet.
Safety Precautions To avoid potential video or keyboard problems when using Cybex products: Check environment • If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer and monitor are on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the same circuit. • Use only Cybex-supplied cable. Cybex warranties do not apply to damage resulting from user-supplied cable.

5 Installing Expansion Units Overview To expand your XP4000 system beyond the confines of a single unit, you will need to integrate transmitter and receiver boards into your system. Connecting a transmitter in one unit to a receiver in another unit lets you combine multiple XP4000 Series units into one system. Transmitters allow the computers attached to one unit to transmit their signal to user consoles attached to another unit.
Installation In order to successfully configure and install your expansion system, you will need to address each of the following considerations: 1) XP4000 Series unit Placement 2) Computer/User Console Distribution 3) Transmitter/Receiver Board Configuration 4) Transmitter/Receiver Board and Expansion Cable Installation There are two basic types of expansion configurations: star and daisy chain.
DAISY CHAIN STAR Sample configurations UNIT 4 (Recommended for 60 or fewer attached computers) UNIT 4 X P A C X P X T UNIT 3 X P X T X P A C X P A C 250' X P X T X P X R X P L U X P A C X P A C X P A C X P A C UNIT 2 X P A C X P A C 150' X P A C XX PP XX RT X P A C X P A C 250' 250' X P X R XX PP XX TR X P A C X P A C 150' X P X R X P X T UNIT 1 X P A C X P X R CONFIGURATION 1 200' X P X R X P A C In configurations 1 and 2, the user in Unit 1 can access any attached compu
Computer/ User Console Distribution Once you have mapped out your optimal unit configuration, you'll need to determine the placement of computers and user consoles within your system. As you plan, consider the following: 1) In order for an attached computer to transmit its signal to users outside its own XP4000 Series unit, there must be a transmitter present in the unit.
Figure 5-1 below shows the path availability across units. UNIT 3 UNIT 2 UNIT 1 In the above example, the user at Unit 1 would like to access computer 2H. There is a valid path out of Unit 1 to accommodate that. However, all four paths in Unit 2 are currently taken by the four local users. The only way the user in Unit 1 can access a computer in Unit 2 is through sharing. He may view the video on any channel but will not have keyboard or mouse control unless the Unit 2 user relinquishes control.
Before installing your transmitter and receiver boards in your XP4000 system, you will need to configure them for your system requirements. There are two steps to configuring your expansion boards: 1) Configuring the 8-position DIP switch on the transmitter boards with a unit address. 2) Configuring the jumpers on the transmitter and receiver boards for your specific expansion cable length. Please note that the same settings apply to both the standard and Category 5 expansion transmitter and receiver cards.
Configuring the Transmitter /Receiver Board Jumpers Every transmitter and receiver pair must be configured for the length of the expansion cable that connects them together. Follow the steps below for each transmitter/receiver pair in your system: 1) Orient your first transmitter/receiver pair as shown below. Note that most components have been removed to simplify the drawings. EXPANSION RECEIVER 4XP PWB: 016-0112 REV.

Connect the other end of the cable to the video port on the receiver. 3.
6 XP4400 Overview XP4400 The XP4400 component of the XP4000 Series is designed to allow the configuration of larger, more complex installations in the most efficient, economical way possible. By channeling expansion signals from users to attached computers, the XP4400 enables the most streamlined configuration possible and can greatly reduce the number of units, transmitter/receiver cards and cables in the system. The example below shows a simple 16 x 16 matrix configured with and without the XP4400.
The XP4400 consists of a 9U high chassis, containing two power supplies, two fan assemblies and a user specified number of transmitter and receiver modules. The power supplies are fully redundant and hot swappable, allowing you to replace one at any time without powering down the system. Fan assemblies are also hot swappable, but both are needed to cool a fully loaded XP4400 chassis.
Features and Benefits LCD menu system The XP4400 features a front panel LCD display for easy system configuration and identification. Display system connection information, check the hardware and firmware revision of your modules or troubleshoot system errors all from an easy-to-use menu. Front panel LEDs LEDs on the XP4400’s front panel let you monitor system power and error status at a glance. The red LED blinks when a problem is detected, then goes to solid when the problem is acknowledged.
To configure the port, you will need to first select a pair of Category 5 cables that are connected to a receiver card in the system. Connect these cables to the first available port with the Video cable connecting to the upper jack and the Keyboard/Mouse cable connecting to the lower jack. Locate the DIP switches that correspond to that port and configure them as needed. (See diagram and settings below and on the next page.) Repeat this process for every port of every Transmitter Module in your system.

When you are switching channels with the keyboard or using the KeyScan feature, you must first place your system in Command Mode. As long as you are operating in Command Mode, whatever you type will be intercepted by your XP4000 Series unit until the Enter or the Escape key is pressed to end Command Mode. None of the keystrokes entered will be forwarded to the attached computer.
Multiplatform Keyboard Translation XP4000 Series units allow you to use any type of keyboard to operate any type of attached computer. However, when crossing platforms, certain keys will need to be ‘remapped’ in order to provide all of the functions available on the keyboard native to that platform. For example, if you access a Sun workstation with a Macintosh keyboard, you will notice that the Macintosh does not have the STOP and AGAIN keys that are on a true Sun keyboard.

Keyboard Control The following notational conventions appear throughout this manual to illustrate commands for operating your XP4000 Series unit. Whenever you see one of the symbols listed on the left side of the table, substitute the corresponding steps or values listed on the right side of the table. Convention Key Sequence or Value Enter Command Mode: 1.Press and hold down the ‘Num Lock’ key. 2.Press and release the minus (-) key on the numeric keypad. 3.Release the ‘Num Lock’ key.
Keyboard Switching Basic keyboard switching All users may utilize a short keyboard sequence to switch between channels. A “Hotkey” sequence places your system in Command Mode. While in Command Mode, whatever you type will be interpreted as system commands until the Enter or the Escape key is pressed to end Command Mode, and will not be forwarded to the attached computer. Next, enter the address (Addr) for the channel you wish to select.
Multiuser Operation There are three ways to utilize the multiuser capabilities of the XP4000 Series. You may access computers independently, share access of computers with other consoles, or use a combination of independent and shared access. Each option is described below. Independent Access Up to four users per unit may operate four different attached computers independently at the same time. Any combination of local and secondary consoles may be used.
Shared Access If two or more consoles need to access the same computer, they can ‘share’ access to it through the XP4000 Series unit. Sharing means that multiple consoles can view a computer channel at the same time, but only one can enter data through the keyboard or mouse at any given moment. As soon as the active console stops all keyboard and mouse activity, another console can take control of the computer.
Example: User Console 1 is currently using computer A. Consoles 2 and 3 are sharing access of computer A with Console 1. When all keyboard and mouse activity stops at Console 1, either Console 2 or Console 3 can take control of computer A. Only one console can work on computer A at a time. User Console 4 is currently working on computer B. Console 5 is sharing access of computer B with Console 4 and can take control of computer B when all keyboard and mouse activity stops at Console 4.
Combined Access You can combine independent and shared access within one XP4000 Series system. Up to four consoles per unit have independent access to four different computers. If a fifth console enters the system, that user can share computer access with any of the other four consoles.
Multimedia Operation The XP4000 Series unit supports speakers and a microphone at every user console in the system. If you have purchased user interface and computer interface cables with multimedia capabilities, then you will have access to these features. The speakers and/or microphone that you have connected to your console will work exactly as if they are connected directly to your computer.
KeyScan KeyScan lets you automatically scan your computer channels sequentially without intervention. When KeyScan detects keyboard or mouse activity, scanning is suspended until all activity stops. Scanning then resumes with the next channel in sequence. The length of time each computer channel remains on screen, or dwell time, is configurable and changeable at any time. If you have multiple units in your system, you can control which units are included in the scan process.
Broadcast Mode Broadcast Mode allows each user to send commands to multiple computers within your system at the same time. By creating your own customized “broadcast groups”, you can designate which computers you want to broadcast to. Once you enter Broadcast Mode, whatever you type is sent to all of the computers in your group regardless of which channel is active. Broadcast groups may include any type of module in the system, but only affect XPAC/XPAB computer interface modules.
Follow Mode Follow Mode allows a user to follow another user's channel switching. For example, John and Melissa are both users in an XP4000 Series system. John wants to automatically change channels along with Melissa. John places his console in Follow Mode, designating Melissa's user console as the leader. Now, whenever Melissa changes to any channel, John automatically switches to the same. The following key sequences configure and control Follow Mode. The first sequence designates the leader console.
Command Forwarding Commands from one user can be sent to a remote user via command forwarding. For example, Melissa is training John and needs for him to be in Follow Mode. With Command Forwarding, Melissa can put John’s system into Follow mode from a remote location without any intervention on his part. The following key sequences configure and control Command Forwarding. The first sequence designates the leader console.
