Figure 64. Setting Up Parallel Operation through the Java Tool
In order to configure parallel operation through the Java Tool, proceed as follows.
1. Activate the Enable Video Sharing function.
2. Activate the Force Connect function.
3. Activate the Keyboard Connect function, if taking control by a keystroke is to be enabled.
4. Activate the Mouse Connect function, if taking control by a mouse movement is to be enabled.
5. Set an inactivity Release Time (0 - 999 sec.), after which control can be taken over.
Multi-Screen Control
CON devices with more than one assigned video display can be configured to use Multi-Screen Control.
This feature allows switching between up to four CPU devices by simply moving the mouse cursor beyond
the edge of the current display to an adjacent display. Multi-Screen switching can also be done with
keyboard commands. The monitors can be arranged side-by-side in a 1 x 4 array, or in a 2 x 2 grid layout.
The Extender Units assigned to the multi-display CON Device must be physically connected to the same
block of four ports on a matrix I/O board, in order for the Con Device to be eligible for Multi-Screen
Control.
When using CPU devices with multi-head video output (e.g. dual-head), switching should only be done via
keyboard commands, or the stability of the system may be impaired. CON Units with the ability to connect
a local source (computer, CPU) will have switching to the local source disabled if used in a Multi-Screen
Control environment.
This screen can be accessed from the OSD and the Java Tool.
