Program version UP18H 05/08/03
|
| |
 |
|
|
Sometimes on Dell Optiplex GX240 computers with Windows
XP, the PS/2 wheel mouse would go out of sync. This
has been fixed.
|
| |
|
|
|
Keys to change between English and Japanese or Korean
did not work. This has been fixed.
|
|
Program version UP18A 06/28/02
|
| |
|
|
|
USB cable 17 and previous were specific to each country
for Sun computers. Version 19 of the USB cable derives
its Sun international language setting from the Sun
keyboard language setting on the Configure System page. In
order for this to work, UP18A firmware must be installed.
otherwise the US language setting will be used.
|
| |
|
|
|
For Sun computers Ctrl page up now generates the volume
up key and ctrl page down generates the volume down
key. These were reversed.
|
 |
| |
|
|
|
Allows you to send the keys that are present on a Sun
keyboard, such as the Stop, Again, and other keys unique
to the Sun keyboard, from a PC keyboard. More.
|
| |
|
|
|
Add full support for all combinations and emulations
of PC, Sun, and USB Japanese and Korean keyboards.
|
| |
|
|
|
Add Sun language field to multi-platform boxes to allow
better PC to Sun emulation. Adds auto field to preserve
existing configurations.
|
| |
|
|
|
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.
|
| |
|
|
|
Adds mode commands 11 and 12 to allow setting the USB-PC
and USB-Sun settings on units without OSD. More.
|
| |
|
|
|
A problem occurs, if you have the keyboard and mouse
ports on the board installed in the Compaq server to
the Rose switch. When you use the local mode to access
the server the mouse works fine. When you log into the
server through a browser, the mouse does not work at
all. This firmware upgrade fixes the remote mouse not
working.
|
| |
|
|
|
Fix label display routines so that a label time of
zero causes no label to be displayed unless Left Control-d
is typed, in which case it is displayed for 5 seconds.
|
|
Program version UP16G 08/24/2000
Program version UP16 8/30/1999
|
| |
|
|
|
Improve compatibility with mouse on various platforms.
Mouse would go out of sync on various platforms such
as HP LDpro and LXpro. This has been resolved.
|
| |
|
|
|
Fixed problem with out of sync mouse when expansion
unit > 4.
|
| |
|
|
|
Fixed extra enter key being sent from key repeat when
closing CPU select window on Sun CPU's.
|
| |
|
|
|
Fixed problem with mouse going out of sync when using
CrystalView attached to user port. This is only when
changing computers from the on-screen display menu.
|
| |
|
|
|
Add support for forcing sync type on user port. When
OSD firmware version 4.4 or greater is installed extra
fields appear on the configure overlay - resolution
setting. These fields allow you to force the output
sync format to be either HV or composite regardless
of the input sync. This allows you to use a composite
sync only monitor with PCs or a PC monitor with computers
producing composite sync such as Suns or UNIX workstations.
|
|
Program version UP16 8/30/1999
|
| |
|
|
|
Fix problem with upper boards sometimes not being recognized
at power up. Randomly, certain units would not recognize
the upper boards and you could not switch to these ports.
|
| |
|
|
|
When switching to a computer on an upper card, sometimes
the switching would not occur. Switching to the computer
again would work correctly.
|
| |
|
|
|
The box to box protocol would sometimes not be configured
correctly and the mouse would be out of sync. Careful
manual configuration would be able to correct the problem.
The box is now easier to configure and forgiving of
wrong configuration. If a wheel mouse is not used the
box does not use any wheel mouse protocol.
|
| |
|
|
|
This command
has been present in previous revisions of the switch.
It has been added back in by request to make configuration
easier. In particular please note the new settings to
configure multi-platform boxes to all Sun or all Apple.
This switch product family does not have an all Sun
or all Apple member, so this makes configuration for
the all Sun or all Apple environment easier.
|
|
|
Note there are three classes of mode command,
for the CPU, for the keyboard, and for the mouse. Don't
confuse the setting for a CPU's keyboard/mouse setting
with the mouse itself. To change a CPU's keyboard/mouse
setting you must first switch to that CPU. Changing the
keyboard or mouse itself, you can be switched to any CPU.
|
|
|
Settings that apply to Apple and Sun are
ignored on PC-only units. The mode command is inactive
if a configuration password has been set. To enter the
mode command, press and release the left control key,
then the M key, then the mode value as shown below, and
then the enter key. Don't use the numeric keypad for numeric
keys or the enter key. |
|
|
To save the setting in non-volatile memory, use the
keep command by pressing and releasing the left control
key and then the K key.

This allows you to set the on-screen display
resolution when no video is present. This was added primarily
to support older fixed frequency monitors that do not
sync up at the default 640 x 480 @ 60Hz rate of the on-screen
display. |
|
|
To enter the resolution command, press
and release the left control key, then the Y key,
then the resolution value as shown below, and then the
enter key. Please note that for German language keyboards
you must use the z key instead of the y key. |
|
|
Don't use the numeric keypad for numeric keys or the
enter key. To save the setting in non-volatile memory,
use the keep command by pressing and releasing the left
control key and then the K key.

We have revised the mouse driver in the
box to be compatible with the latest changes. 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 reset
mouse command to the computer. |
|
|
To enter the reset computer's mouse 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 NT. If a wheel mouse is used,
this will also recover use of the wheel. You can also
use this command to change the NT mouse driver from
non-wheel to wheel without booting the computer.
|
| |
|
|
|
Certain Dell computers such as the XPS R350 and the
XPS 450 would fail to have mouse pointers present when
booting NT4.0. The mouse will now boot properly on these
computers.
|
| |
|
|
 |
Decrease power on time of switch by one second.

|
|
Program version UP12 06/11/99
|
| |
|
|
|
For multi-platform units, fixed problem with routing
non-standard keycodes from keyboards to CPU's that don't
match the keyboard type.
|
| |
 |
|
|
Added Ctrl-Tab to keyboard commands. This command allows
a KVM switch to pass commands through to switches connected
to a CPU port.
|
| |
|
|
|
For multi-platform units using Sun or Macintosh keyboards
prevent the keyboard select box from appearing.
|
| |
|
|
|
Fixed a problem when changing ports on with Japanese
Sun machines using Japanese keyboards.
|
| |
|

Fixed a problem with passing PC cursor keys through
a KVM switch connected to a port on the switch greater
than 4.
|
