9.3 Quad-Head KVM-Switch
In Quad-Head Mode up to 4 Users can access up to 8 CPUs. NON-Blocking Access for all
users is granted, i.e. none of the users is constrained by the activity of another user.
Switch example:
Quad-Head KVM-Switch
Via the OSD, each user can select the CPU that he wants to connect to. The OSD display
shows if the desired CPU has already been assigned to another user. Depending on the switch
configuration, access to this CPU Port will be denied ort he former user will be replaced by
the new user (cf. Configuration of System Parameters).
Depending on the switch configuration, access to the OSD is possible at any time or is
requiring an authentication. With the authentication, access to CPU Ports and/or User Ports
can further be restricted by assigning specific user levels. Alternatively, the user can be
assigned to one or more user groups with access to a defined set of CPU Ports and/or User
Ports.
With the ‚CPU-Splitter’ function, you can copy your own display content to one or more
additional monitors.
From a Quad-Head User Port you might also access a Single-Head- or Dual-Head- CPU.
With a Single-Head CPU, monitors 2, 3 and 4 will remain dark (not connected) and with a
Dual-Head CPU, monitors 3 and 4 will remain dark (not connected).
