How to install Black Box Secure KVM Matrices Allow Two Operators To Control Up To Eight Dvi Com
To install and configure the Black Box Secure KVM Matrix for optimal performance, follow these practical steps designed for secure, efficient setup in control rooms and data centers:
- Prepare a secure, climate-controlled installation space with adequate airflow to prevent overheating in high-traffic environments.
- Plan the cabling layout by assigning each DVI source computer to one input port on the KVM matrix, ensuring cables are managed to minimize interference and strain on connectors.
- Connect the console side by wiring the keyboard, mouse, and monitor to the designated console ports on the matrix. Confirm that each operator has a dedicated workspace with clear access to the console controls.
- Power up the matrix and, if available, access the management interface or front-panel controls to verify basic functionality and confirm that all eight input channels are recognized.
- Configure operator profiles and input assignments so each operator can independently select and switch between the connected machines. Test cross-operator switching to ensure there is no overlap or misrouting of signals.
- Document the wiring diagram, access credentials, and switching assignments. Establish security policies, access control lists, and routine maintenance procedures to support ongoing use in secure environments.
- Perform a final validation under typical operating conditions, including simultaneous actions by both operators, to verify latency, video integrity, and reliable keyboard/mouse input across all channels.
- Implement firmware updates and firmware rollback plans if provided by the manufacturer, and schedule periodic checks to ensure continued compatibility with connected devices.
