CONNECTING THE CONSOLE

Standard connectionThe console consists of thekeyboard, mouse or other pointingdevice, and the monitor. Thekeyboard and mouse connectionson the back panel of the switchare 6-pin mini-DIN PS/2 style. Thevideo connection is HD15-pinVGA/SVGA style. If the cables onyour keyboard, mouse, or monitorrequire different connectors, youcan obtain a converter from Apex(see Appendix B Options andAccessories) or from the manufac-turer of the device.

Special connectionsThe EL-100DT OutLook switchYou will need a video cable withHD13W3 connectors and a key-board cable with 8-pin mini-DINconnectors for each computer.(see Appendix B for cable kits)

IBM RS/6000 and HP 9000WorkstationsWhen connecting workstationsthat use the composite sync ongreen video option, you must usethe Apex video sync converter(see Appendix B Options andAccessories), which converts videotransmission to the more commonseparate sync and improvescolor balance. The video syncconverter must be connected toboth the keyboard and videocables between the switch andthe workstation.

Sun Microsystems WorkstationsUse the Apex Sun-to-PC keyboardand mouse converter (see Appen-dix B Options and Accessories) toconvert the video and keyboardsignals from the Sun Microsystemsworkstation to PC-compatiblesignals. The converter must beconnected to both the keyboardand video cables between theswitch and the workstation. Thisconverter is not needed for theOutLook EL-100DT switch.

Remote connectionSystems with External KeypadThe optional Apex external keypad(see Appendix B Options andAccessories) allows remote opera-tion of the OutLook switch withoutaccess to the keyboard. The keypadcable terminates with an RJ45modular plug that is connected tothe AUX jack on the back panel ofthe switch.

Sequence of cable connectionYou should connect the cables tothe switch in this order:

1 mouse

2 video

3 keyboard

This cable connection sequence isparticularly important later whenyou install new devices to yourOutLook system. You can connect amouse and/or keyboard to theOutLook switch when the system isrunning. When you connect thenew device, the switch recognizesthe device and configures it to thesettings of the currently selectedcomputer. This allows you to replacefailed devices without having torestart the system.

Save the hardware settingswhen you make changesWhenever you make changes to theswitch system, you should save thehardware configuration settings. Ifyou do not save the settings, they willbe lost when power is lost or turnedoff. To reestablish keyboard andmouse communication to the switch,you might have to reboot each com-puter. For procedure, see in Chapter 3,Saving the Hardware Settings.

CONNECTING THE PRIMARY SWITCH TO A SECONDARYSWITCH (TIERING)

Tiered configurationsMulti-switch systems or tieredconfigurations allow the greatestflexibility and capacity. In a tieredsystem, the OutLook switchconnected to the console becomesthe primary switch. Tiers consistof one or more secondaryOutLook switches, which areconnected to the computer ports onthe primary switch. One 8-portprimary unit can accommodateeight secondary switches andaccess up to 64 servers. One 10-portprimary unit can accommodate tensecondary switches and access upto 100 servers.

Adding a secondary switchwhile the system is runningIf you are installing a secondaryswitch to an existing OutLookswitch system, you can attach thesecondary switch while the systemis running. To do this, you mustfirst connect the mouse and videocables, then the keyboard cable.When you power on the secondaryswitch, the keyboard connectionsends data to the primary switchallowing the secondary switch toboot up.

Whenever you add new devices tothe system, you have to let theOutLook switch know you addedan additional device. For proceduresee Saving the Hardware Settings inChapter 3.

Port numbering schemeSecondary computer ports have adifferent numbering scheme fromthe primary computer ports. Theport numbering scheme for theprimary switch is Port 1, Port 2,Port 3, etc. The numbering schemefor the secondary switch is thenumber of the port on the primaryswitch followed by a dash, then thenumber of the port on the second-ary switch. For example, a second-ary switch connected to Port 2 onthe primary switch has the numberPort 2-1. Other ports on the second-ary unit would be Port 2-2, Port 2-3,Port 2-4, etc. You can assign namesto computers. For procedure see inChapter 3 Assigning Unique Namesto Computers.

turer of the device. Any graphicssystem that uses sync on greenrequires a video converter. Avariety of other video convertersare also available. (contact Apex PCSolutions Technical Support forhelp) See Appendix E for diagramsof monitor, keyboard, and mouseconnector pin specifications.

Adding a computer while thesystem is runningIf you are installing a computer toan existing OutLook switch system,you can attach the computer whilethe system is running. To do this,you must first connect the mouseand video cables, then the key-board cable. When you power onthe computer, the keyboard connec-tion sends data to the switch,allowing the computer to boot up.

Save the hardware settingswhen you make changesWhenever you make changes to theswitch system, you should save thehardware configuration settings. Ifyou do not save the settings, they willbe lost when power is lost or turnedoff to the switch, and you might haveto reboot each computer to reestab-lish keyboard and mouse communi-cation. For procedure see in Chapter 3,Saving the Hardware Settings.

TURNING ON THE SYSTEM

Startup sequenceWhen a computer boots up, theattached keyboard, mouse, andmonitor send device configuration/commands settings out of thecomputer port. The OutLook switchstores these device settings. If theswitch is turned on before thecomputers, the OutLook switch canboot up computers that do not havephysically connected to them, akeyboard, monitor, or mouse. If thecomputers are turned on before theOutLook switch, the computers willprobably either hang, crash, orexhibit abnormal behavior becausethe computers need the keyboard,mouse, and monitor device con-figuration/commands settings inorder to boot properly. For yourswitch system to work, the switchmust be turned on before thecomputers.

Startup behaviorWhen you turn on the switch, itperforms the following actions:

Identifies the mouse and key-board and puts them into defaultstates.

Displays copyright informationabout the OutLook switch andfirmware.

Selects Port 1 and displays thenumber 1 in the status flag onthe monitor as shown here.

1or

If you have models EL-280DT/EL-480DT, selects Port 0 anddisplays the number 0 in thestatus flag instead of number 1.

If the copyright information andstatus flag do not appear on themonitor, make sure that themonitor is connected and turned on.

OutLook switch behavior withpower outagesThe OutLook switch system will helpyour computers recover from poweroutages. After a power outage, eachcomputer connected to the switchreboots (if designed to do so) auto-matically when power is restored. Theswitch generates responses to ensurethat the reboot is successful and thatthe switch is ready to select comput-ers when regular operation resumes.If you are using an uniterruptedpower supply, connect the switchesto the same power source as the restof the system.

FOR MODELS EL-40DT/EL-80DT,EL-80DTF, EL-40DC/EL-80DC ONLY

The broadcast feature (OutLookversion 1.5.0 or later) enables youto simultaneously control morethan one computer in a system.This feature is useful when youwant to ensure that all selectedcomputers receive identical input.For each computer receiving thebroadcast, you can choose tobroadcast keystrokes and/or mousemovements independently.

n NotesFor all computers receiving a broad-cast to interpret commands identically,the keyboard and mouse states for thecomputers must be identical. Specifi-cally, the CAPS LOCK and NUMLOCKmodes should be the same on all key-boards. For the mouse to work accu-rately, all systems must have identicalmouse drivers, identical desktops, andidentical video resolutions. In addition,the mouse must be in exactly the sameplace on all screens. Because theseconditions are extremely difficult toachieve, broadcasting mouse move-ment to multiple systems may haveunpredictable results.

OutLook attempts to send keystrokesand mouse commands to the selectedcomputers simultaneously; however,some computers may inhibit and thusdelay the transmission.

To broadcast to selectedcomputers:

G SETTING OUTLOOK DIP SWITCHES

FOR MODELS EL-280DT/EL-480DTIn its factory default state, theOutLook switch always resolvesport contention in favor of existingconnections. This switch connec-tion mode is called cooperative. Ifyou would prefer the switch tofavor new connections, you mustmove the DIP switch to the pre-emptive setting. In preemptiveswitch connection mode theOutLook switch is set to allow anyconsole to select any computer portat any time.

To set the DIP switch:

1 Make sure that the OutLookswitch is turned off andunplugged.

2 Open the little panel on thebottom of the OutLook unit,exposing an area of the circuitboard that contains a block offour DIP switches

3 Move the switch marked 1-1 onthe left end of the block to theON position to select thepreemptive setting. Or move theswitch marked 1-1 to the OFFposition for the cooperativesetting.

4 Close the panel and re-connectthe power cord.
