USB 2.0 Extender
This section describes how to configure and use USB 2.0 extenders. USB 2.0 extenders must be
connected to standard I/O boards. They can be configured for independent switching, or can be assigned
to existing KVM extenders. USB 2.0 extenders can be configured through the OSD or the Java Tool.
Configuring USB 2.0 Extenders through the OSD
Select Configuration > EXT Units in the main menu.
Figure 49. Configuring USB 2.0 Extenders through the OSD
To create a USB 2.0 extender definition through the OSD, proceed as follows:
1. Press the New button. An extender with an eight-digit ID will be created, starting with digit 9.
2. Assign an appropriate name to the extender in the Name field.
3. Enter the I/O port number where the USB 2.0 extender unit is connected to the matrix into the Port
field.
4. To configure the created extender as a CON Unit, set the USB-CON (standalone) option to Y
(C#1 of Input Signals) and confirm by pressing the Okay button.
5. To configure the created extender as a CPU Unit, set the USB-CPU (standalone) option to Y (C#1
of Output Signals), and confirm by pressing the Okay button.
6. To create an individually switchable device for the USB 2.0 CON extender, select Configuration >
CON Devices and click the New R button.
Alternatively, the USB 2.0 CON extender can be assigned to an existing CON Device. To do this,
select the device, and move the USB 2.0 CON extender from the EXT available field into the EXT
assigned field.
7. Give an appropriate name to the new Device in the Name field.
8. Repeat steps 6 and 7 for all USB 2.0 CPU extenders in the Configuration > CPU Devices menu.
9. If parallel operation is used within the matrix, set the Release Time in the Configuration > Switch
screen to 10 s or more.
10. Restart all I/O boards on which USB 2.0 extenders have been configured, or alternatively restart
the matrix.
The USB 2.0 extenders are now configured and can be used.
