3.

Replace the cover on the back of the keyboard.

4.

Connect the keyboard to the MX4000SVR Multiplexer Server.

You can connect up to four keyboards to the server—one to the server’s LOCAL
KEYBOARD port and three to its REMOTE KEYBOARD(S) port, or all four to the remote.

LOCAL KEYBOARD PORT CONNECTION
Plug one end of the 25-foot (7.6 m) data cable with RJ-45 connectors supplied with
the keyboard into the back of the keyboard. Plug the other end into the LOCAL
KEYBOARD port on the server. Refer to the multiplexer server manual for instructions.

The keyboard receives power from the multiplexer, as indicated by a lighted LED
display. The display shows the address of the multiplexer with which the keyboard is
communicating.

REMOTE KEYBOARD(S) PORT CONNECTION
You must order a KBDKIT(-X) for each keyboard you intend to connect to the server’s
REMOTE KEYBOARD(S) port. Follow the instructions supplied with the kit. Refer to
Figure 1 for the keyboard RJ-45 pin-outs.

The keyboard receives power from the transformer, as indicated by a lighted LED dis-
play. The display shows the address of the multiplexer with which the keyboard is
communicating.

The KBD4000 has calibrating software for automatically centering the joystick. Be cer-
tain the joystick remains in the neutral (vertical) position as power is applied to the
keyboard. Do not move or hold down the joystick until after the red digit LEDs have
finished flashing the firmware revision.

5.

Peel off the protective covering over the LED display in the keyboard’s upper left corner.

Below are the minimum things to check.

1.

If you have more than one multiplexer, each one must have its own address (UNIT ID
in the Advanced System Setup menu). If you have a server, the multiplexer address
must match the input on the server to which it is connected. For example, if the
multiplexer is connected to input 3 on the server, set the multiplexer address to 3.

2.

Set the master/slave designation to let the keyboard communicate with multiplexers.

•

In polled mode (switch 4 OFF), you must designate one multiplexer (any one) as
the master and all the others as slaves. If you have just one multiplexer, it must
be the master.

•

In non-polled communication mode (switch 4 ON), all multiplexers must be
slaves (the keyboard is the master).

Set the address and master/slave designation from the front panel of the
multiplexer, not from the keyboard. For instructions, refer to 

Controlling the

Multiplexer with the Keyboard

 in the 

Programming 

section.

Below is the minimum you should check.

If you intend to control two monitors from one keyboard (paired mode), you must change
the settings for the monitors (Monitor menu). Programming the server can only be done
from the keyboard. Refer to the server manual for instructions.

  The key-

board is ready to operate
when plugged into a multi-
plexer or multiplexer server.

 Do

not assume there is nothing
more to do after connecting
the keyboard to the system.
