INSTALLATION

Orion Installation and Operations Manual

The installation section of this manual is divided into a section for the KVM Switch installation and for the Cross-Point

Switch installation procedures. Please turn to the section needed for your application.

KVM Switch Installation

As a KVM Switch the device supports several operation modes:

(See appendix F for cascading configuration example)

 16 User ports and 32 CPU ports for Single-Head access

 8 User ports and 16 CPU ports for Dual-Head access

 4 User ports and 8 CPU ports for Quad-Head access.

 Single, Dual, and Quad CPUs and User ports may also be operated in mixed mode.

The maximum number of User ports depends on the detailed configuration.

 A maximum of 32 CPUs (up to 10 km away using fiber cable) can be connected to the

Unit via Local transmitter units installed at each CPU.

 Up to 16 remote user stations (up to 10 km away using fiber cable) can be connected

to the Orion unit via remote receiver units installed at each console.

The installation of the local transmitter(s) and remote

receivers(s) will vary depending on the needed

application. (Single head, dual head, or quad head KVM

switch, serial and audio options, etc.)

Basic transmitter installation:

(Each connected computer must be connected to a KVM

transmitter and each remote KVM user station must be

connected to a KVM receiver)

1. Connect the DVI video connector(s) from the

computer to the transmitter using a DVI-I MM cable.

2. Connect a USB cable (Type A to Type B) from the

computer’s USB Type A connector to the

transmitters USB Type B connector.

3. If the transmitter has the serial and audio options,

connect these ports to the transmitter using

standard stereo audio cables (MM) for the speaker

and microphone connectors and a DB9 serial cable

from the computer to the transmitter.

4. Connect a CATx or Fiber cable (depending on the

model – up to 32 cables) from the transmitter’s port

to the corresponding CPU port on the Orion unit.

Basic receiver installation:

1. Connect the DVI-I video monitor’s cable to the

corresponding connector on the receiver

2. Connect the USB keyboard and USB mouse to the

keyboard and mouse USB ports on the receiver

3. If the receiver has the serial and audio options,

connect a speaker set to the speaker connector and

a microphone to the Mic input connector.

5. Connect a CATx or Fiber cable (depending on the

model – up to 16 cables) from the receiver’s port to

the corresponding CON port on the Orion unit.

NOTE: If you Orion unit has a mixture of CATx and Fiber

modules, care should be taken to only connect a CATx

connected user station to a CATx connected computer or

a Fiber connected user station to a fiber connected

computer.
