Caps lock and shift keys from one KVM station could
affect those on another KVM station. VT100 cusrsor identification
sometimes answered incorrectly. Mostly was affecting
HPUX serial ports. This is now all working correctly
with no reported problems.
|
|
Program version MX22 06/28/02
|
| |
|
|
|
Add VT102/VT220/ANSI color commands to improve serial
emulation capabilities. Includes full support for VI
and pseudo-graphical displays such as Smit (RS6000),
Sam (HP), and Linuxconfig (Linux). Changes 8-page/two-color
scroll buffer to 4-page/8-color scroll buffer. Requires
ICK-O52R OSD chipset upgrade. More.

|
|
|
Now you can send a serial break which can be used on
Sun/UNIX/Linux to go to the boot prompt. To send the
break, press and release the left-control key and then
press and release the pause/break key.
|
| |
|
|
|
* Change clear screen from F12 to ctrl and F12 (press
ctrl, press F12, release both) to protect against accidental
clear and allow F12 key to be used.
* Add clear scroll buffer function which uses shift
and F12 (press shift, press F12, release both, this
was previously undocumented and not working right.
* Fix serial emulation shift and ctrl actions not working
right, KVM would affect another computer not connected
to KVM on same card.

The key to the right of the left shift key which is
present on European keyboards and not on US keyboards
was not sending any serial characters (usually <
and >, but varies by country). This now sends the
correct characters. Note that it has been reported that
when connecting to Sun computers that the international
characters do not show up. This is due to mis-configuration
of the Sun computer. You must enable ISO-8859-1 character
support on the Sun computer. You must also change the
OSD language from the configuration menu to match the
keyboard you are using, either English, French, German,
Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese.
|
| |
|
|
|
The ctrl-del function added in rev MX21B can down computers
with no warning. We have added an OSD pop-up box which
prevents accidental entry of the ctrl-del key. Now when
you hit ctrl-del (press and release ctrl, press and
release del) an OSD message pops up which says "Power
on/off" and a yes/no box to allow or abort.

USB cable revision UC17 and previous were specific
to each country for Sun computers. USB cable revision
UC19 and later derive its Sun international language
setting from the Sun keyboard language setting on the
Configure System page. In order for this to work,
MXP21D firmware or later must be installed. otherwise
the US language setting will be used.
|
| |
|
|
|
Certain small keyboards that are intended to mount
in a rack are missing the traditional page up and page
down keys and require you to use those on the numeric
keypad. These keys may be are needed in the OSD to scroll
through computers for switching and for other configuration
purposes. You can now also use the PgUp and PgDn keys
on the numeric keypad instead.
|
| |
|
|
|
The Sun and power emulation keys ctrl + Home/End/Page
Up/ Page Down/Delete added in rev MX21B would only work
when NumLock was off. Now the state of NumLock is ignored
for these commands.

Integrated VT100 terminal emulation support to connect
to serial devices. More.
|
| |
|
|
|
Allow language change on OSD between English, French,
German, Spanish, Italian, and Portuguese.
|
| |
|
|
|
Allows you to send the keys that are present on a Sun
keyboard from a PC keyboard, such as the Stop, Again,
and other keys on the left side of the Sun keyboard.
More.
|
| |
|
|
|
Add full support for all combinations and emulations
of PC, Sun, and USB Japanese and Korean keys.

The sample rate
has been increased from 20 samples/sec. to 40 samples/sec
which makes smoother mouse movement. This also corrects
incorrect operation of devices connected to the mouse
port such as extenders or other KVM switches which did
not respond to the mouse sample rate. This includes older
firmware version of the Crystal View and other Rose KVM
switches such as the Vista series. |
| |
|
|
|
This fixes the remote mouse not working on this hardware
product.
|

|
The setting for the logout timer on the configure profile
page is a number from 0 to 9999. Any value beyond 1092
minutes (18.2 hours) was rounded down to 1092 minutes
The maximum value is now 9999 minutes (6 days, 22 hours,
and 39 minutes).
|
| |
|
|
|
You can now no longer enter 0 for scan time. PC keyboard
repeat rates other than 1-31 char/sec, and fadeout times
greater than 255 are ignored instead of wrapped. Group,
profile, and user name entry won't allow more than 8
characters.

Increase the number of users, groups, and profiles
from 16 to 80. The additional items are accessed from
the F12 configuration menu by using the page up and
page down keys on the configure user, profile, and group
pages.

When two mice are accessing two PCs on the same card
which use a serial mouse, the mouse movement on one
PC would interfere with the other.

When adding support for the E-series, 8X, and 16X the
differences between the various kernel and program versions
caused a problem when upgrading the flash. The upper
cards would hang up and each card would have to be flashed
individually.

The UltraMatrix 8X and 16X are extensions of the original
4X model. The hardware has some differences which is
auto-detected and handled appropriately. By using the
same firmware for all models of the X -series and the
E-series it allows future changes to be made more easily.
|
| |
|
|
|
To show the 8X and the 16X bus jumper information,
the page was reformatted to fit more information. The
first column (ID) is the number of the card in the system
1-255. The second column (BUS) is the bus jumper setting
1-16. The login field has been removed and moved to
the user field.
|
|
|
Before if login was required, the login field was set
to yes and the user field was ignored. If login was
not required the login field was set to no and the user
field specified which user settings were assigned to
the KVM.
|
|
|
Now, if login is required the user field is set to
login. If login is not required, the user field is set
to the user whose setting will be assigned to the KVM.

The default scan rate of 5 seconds would work correctly.
Other values would not always work correctly.
|

|
|
|
When the color scheme was changed from one setting
to another the background color was not immediately
changed. It would be updated correctly only upon leaving
the screen. This was a very minor cosmetic problem.

The UltraMatrix E-series is available in many different
models and also as a low-cost PC only version. The hardware
has some differences which is auto-detected and handled

When two or more Sun keyboards are accessing two Sun
computers on the same card, the mouse movement on one
Sun would interfere with the other.

The control O command is used to recover a stuck mouse
with Windows. This can occur by mis-configuring the
computer as a PS/2 wheel mouse or regular PS/2 mouse.
Normally booting of the computer configures the setting
automatically, but if a computer is changed to another
port or has manually been configured wrong you can lose
the mouse. To recover the mouse a new command has been
added to send a mouse reset command to the computer.
|
|
|
Formerly this function was present in the
control R command. But this can cause the mouse on UNIX
machines such as RS/6000 or others to go out of sync.
The computer's mouse reset command has been removed from
the ctrl-R command and added to the ctrl-O command. |
|
|
To enter the mouse recovery command, press
and release the left control key, then the O (alphabetic,
not zero) key. This command should only be used when the
mouse has been lost on Windows. If a wheel mouse is used,
this will also recover use of the wheel. You can also
use this command to change the current mouse driver from
non-wheel to wheel without booting the computer. |
