Chapter 4: Configuration
4.2.3 Control via Serial Interface
Figure 4-7. RS-232 icon.
The ServSwitch DKM FX operating system offers various functions for operation
via serial interface. There are telegrams for switching single or all connections
available, both unidirectional and bidirectional. There are also
telegrams for an overall definition of the total switching status and for saving and
loading such switching states.
The ServSwitch DKM FX has an option that provides an echo of all affected
switching operations via serial interface or network interface. It enables you to
track the current configurations of the matrix at any time so you can update your
own applications.
You can also switch ServSwitch DKM FX clones as slaves (stacking) in parallel via a
serial network interface.
4.3 Assignment
The ServSwitch DKM FX enables you to create a console-specific or a CPU-specific
assignment.
• You can assign virtual CPUs to real CPUs.
• You can assign real consoles to virtual consoles.
4.3.1 Virtual CPU to real CPU
Switch several consoles to the same CPU. If there are several consoles connected
to a virtual CPU that is assigned to a real CPU, you will only have to change the
real CPU once and all the consoles will receive the video signal of the new CPU.
You can access the menu via OSD or Java.
