Draco major 4.3.4 Single-Head Matrix (KVM / USB 2.0) Up to 8 users with an USB 2.0 link (for USB 2.0 devices such as memory sticks, printers additionally to keyboard and mouse) can have access to up to 16 CPUs in the Single-Head KVM/USB operation mode. Up to 4 USB 2.0 peripheral devices can be connected directly to the CON unit; more devices can be connected by a standard USB 2.0 hub. Though a non-blocking access is given for all users that means no user can be disturbed by any activity from another user.
Safety Instructions If you have a Single-Head KVM/USB 2.0 console, you can also get access to a Triple-Head KVM/USB 2.0 CPU. However, if you have a Single-Head CPU, the second monitor will remain black and if you have a Quad-Head CPU, control will only be given at monitor one and two. However, control will only be given at monitor one. You cannot use the USB periphery if you try to get access to CPUs without USB 2.0 connection.
Draco major 4.3.5 Triple-Head-Matrix (KVM / USB 2.0) Up to 4 users with an USB 2.0 link (for USB 2.0 devices such as memory sticks, printers additionally to keyboard and mouse) can have access to up to 16 CPUs in the Triple-Head KVM/USB operation mode. Up to 4 USB 2.0 peripheral devices can be connected directly to the CON unit; more devices can be connected by a normal USB 2.0 hub. Though a non-blocking access is given for all users that means no user can be disturbed by any activity from another user.
Safety Instructions If you have a Triple-Head KVM/USB 2.0 console, you can also get access to a Single-Head KVM/USB 2.0 CPU. However, the second and third monitor will remain black. You cannot use the USB periphery if you try to get access to CPUs without USB 2.0 connection.

Draco major 6 Operation The Draco major can be operated in three different ways: Direct Switching – by a keyboard connected to a CON port and the 'Hot Keys' – by a macro keyboard connected to a console port OSD – by a keyboard connected to a CON Unit and the OSD External Switching Commands – by an external computer via Java tool (network connection required) – by a media control (network or serial connection required) 6.1 Operation by 'Hot Keys' 6.1.
Configuration Direct Switching of Video 1. Start Command Mode with the 'Hot Key'. For control, the LEDs Shift and Scroll flashes at the keyboard, if command mode is activated. 2. Enter the number of the new CPU port and confirm with . At the same time the Command Mode is closed and the console is connected to the new CPU with video only. You can only switch to not used and allowed CPUs with the 'Hot Keys'.
Draco major 6.1.3 Addressing of Main and Sub Matrix The Draco major system can be cascaded in two steps. You can optionally send the commands (including opening the OSD) to the main level or the sub matrix. Whenever command mode is activated, you can select by a or a , if all of the following commands should be handled in the main or in the sub matrix.
Configuration 6.1.4 Macro Keyboard The control of the Draco major can be efficiently performed by a macro keyboard that is available as an accessory. For the use of a macro, the macro keyboard has to be connected to a USB-HID port of the CON unit. If you want to use keyboard, mouse and macro keyboard at the same time, you will have to use an extender with four USB-HID ports or an USB hub.
Draco major 6.2 KVM Mode In this menu, the user can only switch the own console. To switch other consoles, the user needs the Crosspoint Mode (see Chapter 6.3, Page 132). You have the possibility to do the following switching operations. 6.2.1 KVM-List The menu KVM-List will be opened as a standard, if you login to the OSD. Alternatively, the configuration can be modified in this way that the KVMSwitch menu will be started (see Chapter 5.3.3, Page 74).
Configuration selection of Allow Sharing, Force Connect and/or Force Disconnect (see Chapter 5.3.3, Page 74).

Draco major 6.3 Crosspoint Mode In Crosspoint Mode, assignments of inputs to outputs can be made. As the video signals of a CPU port can be connected to several CON ports, the KM signal can only be connected to a CON port that includes the corresponding video signal at the same time. All existing connections can be overwritten in the CP Mode. That is why only users with power user rights have access to this mode.
Configuration OSD Select Status > Crosspoint Switch in the main menu. Menu Crosspoint Switch The data for a maximum of four CON ports are shown in the columns. The 32 CPU ports are shown in the lines (two lines with respectively 16 CPUs). In the upper two lines (K/M) of any CON port is shown, to which CPU the keyboard/mouse signals have to be sent. In the lower two lines (MON) of every single CON port is shown, from which CPU the video signal is displayed.
Draco major Java Tool Select in the task area CP Switch > CON Ports. Menu CP Switch – CON Ports To set a connection between a console and a source (Computer, CPU), proceed as follows: Double click with the mouse on the according matrix field and select the desired type of connection (Video Only or KVM-Access). If you select the empty field in the selection list, the current connection will be closed.
Configuration Use the right mouse button to click in the respective number in the line CPU of the matrix and afterwards select the menu item Clear All CPU Channels in the opening selection list.
Draco major 6.3.2 Crosspoint Switch Function (CPU Ports) In the menu Crosspoint Switch, the various CPUs are shown that can be switched to available consoles. For the best overview, a matrix display is used in this case. You have the following possibilities to access the menu: The switching function is done immediately. The user has to take care of the legitimacy of the switching operation. There is no control by the system. OSD Select Status > Crosspoint Switch in the main menu.
Configuration The 32 CPU ports are shown in the columns. In the lines the 16 possible CON ports are shown for every single CPU. In the upper line (MON) of any CPU port is shown, on which console the video signal of the current CPU port is shown. In the lower line (K/M) of any CPU port is pictured, on which console the keyboard/mouse control is at the moment. Practically any number of monitors can be switched to a CPU in a line, but always only 1x keyboard/mouse (K/M).
Draco major If connections should be established or closed, a popup window will open after the respective change to confirm the operation by Yes or to reject by No (online check mark has to be set). To connect all available CON units to a video signal from a CPU unit at the same time, proceed as follows: Use the right mouse button to click in the respective CPU number in the line CPU of the matrix and afterwards select the menu item Set All Available Video Channels in the opening selection list.
Configuration 6.4 Serial Interface The Draco major offers the possibility to switch via a serial interface (RS232). For the control of the Draco major via serial interface, certain parameters are used. Set up the following format of the serial data transfer for the communication: 115.2 KBaud, 8, 1, NO (115.
