Introduction

Overview

The KVM over IP Matrix System is a solution that combines KE Series KVM

over IP Extenders (KE6900, KE6900A, KE6900AiT, KE6940, KE6940A,

KE6940AiT, KE6900ST, KE6910, KE6912, KE6920, KE6922, KE8900S,

KE8950, KE8952, KE9900ST, KE9950, KE9952), with the KE Matrix

Manager Software (CCKM) to extend, control and monitor access to

computers, across a network, in a multitude of ways. The system lets you setup

a matrix of remote KVM consoles that access computers across a network, with

the flexibility to control and configure each connection.

The high-performance IP-based KE Extenders are consisted of a transmitter

and a receiver. The transmitter connects to a computer to deliver the

computer’s data to the receiver to collectively provide console access from a

remote or separate location. The computer can be accessed from the remote

console via a standard TCP/IP network or direct Ethernet cable connection.

This is perfect for any installation where you need to place the console where

it is convenient, but you want the computer to reside in a secure location - away

from the keyboard, mouse and display.

The extenders support flawless and lossless video compression quality with

ultra low latency, some extenders also support 2K x 2K video resolution (2048

x 2048 @ 60Hz), which is used widely in the Air Traffic Control (ATC)

industry. For a list of video resolution support, refer to Supported Video

Resolutions on page 7.

For power redundancy, some extenders have dual power supplies, some

provide single power supply with a Power over Ethernet (PoE) LAN port,

while some provide dual power supplies and a PoE LAN port.

Some extenders support Fiber Channel over Ethernet via SFP fiber modules*

which connect to a network switch at speeds up to 1 Gbps. The extenders can

connect unit-to-unit or over a TCP/IP network via Gigabit Ethernet or the SFP

ports. Connecting both methods allows network failover.

The non-slim KE over IP Extenders have local On Screen Display (OSD) on

the receiver end to configure both receiver and transmitter - for easy setup and

operation. Both the transmitter and receiver have RS-232 ports to connect to a

KVM over IP Matrix System User Manual

serial terminal for configuration or serial devices such as touchscreens and

barcode scanners.

The AiT models can connect to an Office LAN to support the Control Center

Video Session Recorder (CCVSR) software and Winclient/Javaclient. The

CCVSR records all operations made on servers accessed through KVM over

IP switches. Every operation and change are recorded and saved to a secure

video file for security reference and troubleshooting purposes, etc.. By using

Winclient/Javaclient, you are provided with console access from a separate

location over intranet and/or Internet.

Slimmer versions of KE over IP Extenders are also available. These are

KE6900ST, KE8900S or KE9900ST, and are cost and space saving

alternatives for installations with extenders that don't need a local console or

audio transmission, but want the connectivity features of advanced KE models.

KE6900ST is a slim KVM over IP Transmitter that supports DVI input.

KE8900S offers a slim KVM over IP Transmitter (KE8900ST) and a slim

KVM over IP Receiver (KE8900SR) to respectively support HDMI video

input from the computer and one HDMI monitor output. KE9900ST is a slim

KVM over IP Transmitter that supports DisplayPort input. In addition to a DC

power jack, both the KE8900ST and KE9900ST transmitters have an extra DC

terminal block each for convenient installation.

Since different KE over IP Extenders support different types of video

interfaces (DVI, HDMI, DisplayPort, etc.), video resolutions, power

redundancy function and network failover feature, administrators/users may

select and tailor what is currently best for your environment, and for expected

or unexpected future expansions.

Chapter 1. Introduction

*Power redundancy via PoE requires power board version B01G or later (see

PoE Power Redundancy on page 76 for more details).

KVM over IP Extenders allow flexible setup as they can make console-to-

computer connections in several ways: one-to-one (Extender mode), one-to-

many (Splitter mode), many-to-one (Switch mode), or many-to-many (Matrix

mode).

The KE Matrix Manager Software (CCKM) allows you to define the

aforementioned matrix connections and manage KE Extenders with features

such as auto-detection of KE Extenders, username/password authentication,

switching and sharing of connections, scheduling, permissions and more.

Whether you're extending computer access for Monitoring, Broadcasting,

Editing or Workstation setup, the KVM over IP Matrix System gives you the

flexibility and control to manage one or hundreds of extended connections. For

more detailed feature list, refer to Features on page 4.

Note: The SFP module is sold separately. You can choose the 2A-136G, a

multi-mode SFP module that provides 1 GbE connectivity up to 550

meters; or the 2A-137G, a single-mode SFP module that provides 1 GbE

connectivity up to 10 kilometers. Visit ATEN's website or contact your

ATEN dealer for more information.

and multipoint-to-multipoint computer to console operation by connecting

multiple KE6900 / KE6900ST / KE6940 devices on the same TCP/IP LAN.

Prior to setup we recommended laying out the plans for your KE installation

using our performance guide (see Keys to Network Performance, page 387).

A few points to note during your setup:

The units are preconfigured with factory-default network settings. If you

install only one set of KE Series units, you do not need to change these

default network settings. See Default IP Addresses, page 136, for further

details.

In a network setup with multiple units, each Transmitter and Receiver

must be configured with a unique IP address. See Network Configuration,

page 135, for further details.

We recommended using 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire

speeds, non-blocking with 1Gbps/1.5Mpps performance per port) between

KE Series devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100Mbps

switches might cause poor performance.

In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of your

network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the deterioration of data

throughput. To ensure functionality use a layer 3 switch that supports

IGMP queries.

If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the data

throughput is sufficient.

To get the best performance, we suggest creating a private network for KE

devices, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.

Make sure that all the equipment is powered off. Refer to the installation

diagram on the following page, and do the following:

1. On the Transmitter side, plug the mouse, keyboard, DVI monitor,

microphone and speakers into the ports on the Console section of the

KE6900T / KE6940T.* Each port is marked with an appropriate icon to

KE6910 / KE6912 LAN Installation

Setting up the units on a network allows point-to-point, point-to-multipoint,

and multipoint-to-multipoint computer to console operation by connecting

multiple KE6910 / KE6912 devices on the same TCP/IP LAN. Prior to setup

we recommended laying out the plans for your KE installation using our

performance guide (see Keys to Network Performance, page 387).

A few points to note during your setup:

The units are preconfigured with factory-default network settings. If you

install only one set of KE Series units, you do not need to change these

default network settings. See Default IP Addresses, page 136, for further

details.

In a network setup with multiple units, each Transmitter and Receiver

must be configured with a unique IP address. See Network Configuration,

page 135, for further details.

We recommended using 1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire

speeds, non-blocking with 1Gbps/1.5Mpps performance per port) between

KE Series devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100Mbps

switches might cause poor performance.

In multipoint configurations, the IGMP and flow control function of your

network switches/hubs must be enabled to avoid the deterioration of data

throughput. To ensure functionality use a layer 3 switch that supports

IGMP queries.

If your network uses cascaded switches, please check to ensure the data

throughput is sufficient.

To get the best performance, we suggest creating a private network for KE

devices, as they are bandwidth-intensive devices.

Make sure that all the equipment is powered off before the installation.

The installation is similar to that of KE6910 / KE6912 Point-to-Point

Installation on page 94, with the difference in connecting the transmitter and

the receiver to a local area TCP/IP network. Refer to the diagrams on the

following page and connect accordingly.

Repeat these steps for each Transmitter and Receiver you wish to install on the

network then power on the computer(s).

Overview

This chapter provides instructions to configure and operate KE Series devices

using the local On Screen Display (OSD). To configure the network settings

with the OSD, see Network Configuration, page 135.

Invoking the OSD

The On Screen Display (OSD) is a keyboard/mouse-driven application on the

receiver used to configure the transmitter and receiver settings. Once the

receiver has discovered the transmitter over a network* or Ethernet cable

connection, you can use the OSD on the receiver to configure the transmitter.

Private Certificate

When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to

verify that the user is logging in to the intended site. For enhanced security, the

Private Certificate section allows you to use your own private encryption key

and signed certificate, rather than the default ATEN certificate.

There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a

self-signed certificate and importing a third-party certificate authority (CA)

signed certificate.

Chapter 6. System Status

211

Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility –

openssl.exe – is available for download over the web. See Self-Signed Private

Certificates, page 376 for details about using OpenSSL to generate your own

private key and SSL certificate.

Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate

For the greatest security, we recommend using a third party certificate

authority (CA) signed certificate. To obtain a third party signed certificate, go

to a CA (Certificate Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate. After

the CA sends you the certificate, save it to a convenient location on your

computer.

Importing the Private Certificate

To import the private certificate, do the following:

1. Click Browse to the right of Private Key, navigate to where your private

encryption key file is located and select it.

2. Click Browse to the right of Certificate, navigate to where your certificate

file is located and select it.

3. Click Upload to complete the procedure.

Note: Both the private encryption key and the signed certificate must be

imported at the same time.

You can click Restore Default to restore any changes made previously.

Certificate Signing Request

The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) section provides an automated way of

obtaining and installing a CA signed SSL server certificate.

To perform this operation, do the following:

1. Click Create CSR. The following dialog box appears:

KVM over IP Matrix System User Manual

212

2. Fill in the form – with entries that are valid for your site – according to the

example information in the following table:

3. After filling in the form (all fields are required), click Create.

A self-signed certificate based on the information you just provided is now

stored on the transmitter.

4. Click Get CSR, and save the certificate file (csr.cer) to a convenient

location on your computer

This is the file that you give to the third party CA to apply for their signed

SSL certificate.

5. After the CA sends you the certificate, save it to a convenient location on

your computer. Click Browse to locate the file; then click Upload to store

it on the transmitter.

Information Example

Country (2 letter code) TW

State or Province Taiwan

Locality Taipei

Organization Your Company, Ltd.

Unit Techdoc Department

Common Name mycompany.com

This must be the exact domain name of the site that you

want the certificate to be valid for. If the site’s domain name is

www.mycompany.com, and you only specify

mycompany.com, the certificate will not be valid.

Email Address administrator@yourcompany.com

Chapter 6. System Status

213

Note: When you upload the file, the transmitter checks the file to make

sure the specified information still matches. If it does, the file is

accepted; if not, it is rejected.

If you want to remove the certificate (to replace it with a new one because of a

domain name change, for example), simply click Remove CSR.

Intelligent Dual Video Output Management

For the A models (KE6900A, KE6940A), the Intelligent Dual Video Output

Management feature allows the separation of a Dual Display Transmitter’s

(KE6940AT) video outputs (DVI:1 and DVI:2) as two separate Virtual

Transmitters. These separated outputs can be accessed from different

Receivers (KE6900AR or KE6940AR). Receivers can switch between and

connect to both Virtual Transmitters independently with the Access Type

determining which Receiver has control (see page 218).

To use this setup, install the KE devices as shown below and create two Virtual

Transmitters, selecting DVI:1 and DVI:2 as the KVM source for each Virtual

Transmitter.

For non-A model receivers (e.g. KE6910R, KE6912R), you can select between

DVI:1 or DVI:2, but you will always be getting video output from DVI:1.

When connecting to either of the two Virtual Transmitters in the setup shown

above, the mouse cursor may reside on the main or extended dual display

screen, out of view. Therefore even if you have control of the mouse it may not

be visible. To bring the mouse cursor into view on either of the dual display

screens, first enable Boundless Switching (see Boundless Switching, page 230)

and then use the hotkey F8+F9.

Certificates

This tab provides information about Private Certificates:

Private Certificate

When logging in over a secure (SSL) connection, a signed certificate is used to

verify that the user is logging in to the intended site. For enhanced security, the

Private Certificate section allows you to use your own private encryption key

and signed certificate, rather than the default ATEN certificate.

There are two methods for establishing your private certificate: generating a

self-signed certificate; and importing a third-party certificate authority (CA)

signed certificate.

Generating a Self-Signed Certificate

If you wish to create your own self-signed certificate, a free utility –

openssl.exe – is available for download over the web. See Self-Signed

Private Certificates, page 376 for details about using OpenSSL to generate

your own private key and SSL certificate.

Obtaining a CA Signed SSL Server Certificate

For the greatest security, we recommend using a third party certificate

authority (CA) signed certificate. To obtain a third party signed certificate,

KVM over IP Matrix System User Manual

266

go to a CA (Certificate Authority) website to apply for an SSL certificate.

After the CA sends you the certificate and private encryption key, save

them to a convenient location on your computer.

Importing the Private Certificate

To import the private certificate, do the following:

1. Click Import from the bottom of the Private Certificate page, shown here:

2. Click Browse to the right of Certificate Filename; and browse to where

your certificate file is located; and select it.

3. Click Import to complete the procedure.

Note: Clicking Restore Defaults returns the device to using the default ATEN

certificate.

Certificate Signing Request

The Certificate Signing Request (CSR) section provides an automated way of

obtaining and installing a CA signed SSL server certificate.

To perform this operation do the following:

1. Click New. The following dialog box appears:

2. Fill in the form – with entries that are valid for your site – according to the

example information in the following table:

Information Example

Country (2 letter code) TW

Chapter 7. System Settings

267

3. After filling in the form (all fields are required), click Create.

A self-signed certificate based on the information you just provided is now

stored on the KE Manager software.

4. Click Get CSR, and save the certificate file (csr.cer) to a convenient

location on your computer.

This is the file that you give to the third party CA to apply for their signed

SSL certificate.

5. After the CA sends you the certificate, save it to a convenient location on

your computer. Click Import to locate the file; then click Import to store

it on the KE Manager.

Note: When you upload the file, the KE Manager checks the file to make sure

the specified information still matches. If it does, the file is accepted; if

not, it is rejected.

If you want to remove the certificate (to replace it with a new one because of a

domain name change, for example), simply click Restore Defaults.

Common Name mycompany.com

Note: This must be the exact domain name of the site

that you want the certificate to be valid for. If the site’s

clicking the Video Settings icon on the Control Panel. The default

keys are F5, F6, F7.

Toggle Control

Panel

Toggles the Control Panel Off and On. The default keys are F3,

F4, F5.

Toggle Mouse

Display

If you find the display of the two mouse pointers (local and

remote) to be confusing or annoying, you can use this function to

shrink the non-functioning pointer down to a barely noticeable

tiny circle, which can be ignored. Since this function is a toggle,

use the hotkeys again to bring the mouse display back to its

original configuration. This is equivalent to selecting the Dot

pointer type from the Mouse Pointer icon on the Control Panel.

The default keys are F7, F8, F9.

Note: The Java Control Panel does not have this feature.

Adjust mouse This synchronizes the local and remote mouse movements. The

default keys are F8, F7, F6.

Video Auto-sync This combination performs an auto-sync operation. It is

equivalent to clicking the Video Autosync icon on the Control

Panel. The default keys are F6, F7, F8.

Show/Hide Local

Cursor

Toggles the display of your local mouse pointer off and on. This is

equivalent to selecting the Null pointer type from the Mouse

Pointer icon on the Control Panel. The default keys are F4,F5.

Substitute Ctrl key If your local computer captures Ctrl key combinations, preventing

them from being sent to the remote system, you can implement

their effects on the remote system by specifying a function key to

substitute for the Ctrl key. If you substitute the F11 key, for

example, pressing [F11 + 5] would appear to the remote system

as [Ctrl + 5]. The default key is F11.

Substitute Alt key Although all other keyboard input is captured and sent to the

remote system, [Alt + Tab] and [Ctrl + Alt + Del] work on your

local computer. In order to implement their effects on the remote

system, another key may be substituted for the Alt key. If you

substitute the F12 key, for example, you would use [F12 + Tab]

and [Ctrl + F12 + Del]. The default key is F12.

local mouse pointers – eliminating the need to constantly resync the two

movements.

Manual Mouse Synchronization

If you are using Manual mouse synchronization instead of automatic

DynaSync and the local mouse pointer goes out of sync with the remote

system's mouse pointer, there are a number of methods to bring them back into

sync:

1. Invoke the Adjust Mouse function with the Adjust Mouse hotkeys (see

Adjust mouse, page 287, for details).

2. Move the pointer into all 4 corners of the screen (in any order).

plugged into the wall outlet does not exceed 15 amperes.



To help protect your system from sudden, transient increases and

decreases in electrical power, use a surge suppressor, line conditioner, or

uninterruptible power supply (UPS).



Position system cables and power cables carefully; Be sure that nothing

rests on any cables.



Never push objects of any kind into or through cabinet slots. They may

touch dangerous voltage points or short out parts resulting in a risk of fire

or electrical shock.

Rack Mounting

Before working on the rack, make sure that the stabilizers are secured to

the rack, extended to the floor, and that the full weight of the rack rests on

the floor. Install front and side stabilizers on a single rack or front

stabilizers for joined multiple racks before working on the rack.

Always load the rack from the bottom up, and load the heaviest item in the

rack first.

Make sure that the rack is level and stable before extending a device from

the rack.

Use caution when pressing the device rail release latches and sliding a

device into or out of a rack; the slide rails can pinch your fingers.

After a device is inserted into the rack, carefully extend the rail into a

locking position, and then slide the device into the rack.

Do not overload the AC supply branch circuit that provides power to the

rack. The total rack load should not exceed 80 percent of the branch circuit

rating.

Make sure that all equipment used on the rack – including power strips and

other electrical connectors – is properly grounded.

Ensure that proper airflow is provided to devices in the rack.

Ensure that the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment

does not exceed the maximum ambient temperature specified for the

equipment by the manufacturer.

Do not step on or stand on any device when servicing other devices in a

rack.

Self-Signed Private Certificates

If you wish to create your own self-signed encryption key and certificate, a free

utility – openssl.exe – is available for download over the web at

www.openssl.org. To create your private key and certificate do the following:

1. Go to the directory where you downloaded and extracted openssl.exe to.

2. Run openssl.exe with the following parameters:

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3653 -nodes -x509

-keyout CA.key -out CA.cer -config openssl.cnf

Note: 1. The command should be entered all on one line (i.e., do not press

[Enter] until all the parameters have been keyed in).

2. If there are spaces in the input, surround the entry in quotes (e.g.,

“ATEN International”).

To avoid having to input information during key generation the following

additional parameters can be used:

/C /ST /L /O /OU /CN /emailAddress.

Examples

openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3653 -nodes -x509

-keyout CA.key -out CA.cer -config openssl.cnf -subj

“/C=yourcountry/ST=yourstateorprovince/L=yourlocationor

Multicast IP Address

Multicasting helps to broadcast audio and video data from a transmitter to

multiple Receivers over a network. To setup up Multicasting on a network

switch you must know the Audio and Video Multicast IP address which can be

found on the KE Transmitter. To determinate the default Multicast IP address

set by the KE device use the instructions below. The Multicast IP addresses can

be set manually using Telnet.

KE Multicast Rule

All Audio and Video Multicast IP addresses use the format: 230.X.Y.Z.

X.Y.Z relates to the Transmitter’s IP address and 230 is always the first octet

of a Multicast IP address. You use the Transmitter’s IP address to find X and

then use it to calculate the Audio and Video Multicast IP address.

Multicast IP Formula

To calculate the Audio and Video Multicast IP address, use the Transmitter’s

IP address to determine X and then use the appropriate table below to calculate

the Multicast IP address for each data stream (audio/video).

Example:

Transmitter IP Address: 172.16.27.146; (172.X.Y.Z)

Keys to Network Performance

For optimum performance, KE Series devices requires high amounts of data to

be transferred across a network; therefore we recommend the following

strategies to setup KE Series devices. Using our suggestions will provide better

performance and the highest video resolutions possible. Use each of the keys

to ensure the best transmission of data and the highest throughput possible.

Build a Network Diagram

To build an effective KE installation, start by mapping out the layout. Create a

diagram with the KE devices, computers and routers along with how they will

be connected across the network. It also helps to write out how the devices will

interact. Use this diagram as the frame work as you decide what devices to

purchase and how to build the network effectively for the best data throughput.

Considerations:

If possible, create a private network for the KE devices

Use the same switch model throughout

Use a flat cascaded layout

Avoid a tree or pyramid structure

Limit cascades to two levels

Install network switches near each other

Minimize the distance of connections

Install KE Matrix Manager (CCKM) computer and KE devices on the

same subnet

Check the 3 Other Factors before installation

Other Factors

Choose the Right Cable

Always use Cat 5/6e Ethernet cable or higher installed by a professional

between any two devices you are installing. We recommend using ATEN

Brand Ethernet cable to ensure the quality. It’s best when installing KE devices

to use brand new Ethernet cabling for each part of the installation to ensure the

reliability of the data being transmitted. This is a key to getting the best

uninterrupted video resolution across the network.

UPS User Manual

388

Determine the Distance

Distance is an important factor when setting up networks, with a shorter

distance and fewer hops through routers, data can be transmitted more

efficiently. So whenever possible decrease the distance and direct network

traffic effectively between subnets that communicate with each other to

increase the data throughput.

Ensure the Bandwidth

Ensuring the bandwidth ahead of time will guarantee performance before

installing KE devices on a network. This will eliminate the primary cause of

problems related to video quality and transmission of data. If the speed is right

at all ends of your network, then the only other causes are derived from device

failure or limits caused by a router, switch or device setting.

Sample Network Diagram

Appendix

389

Choose a High Performance Switch

A high performance network switch is the means of a successful KE setup.

When choosing a network switch, first select the type:

Layer 2 or Layer 3 Switches

You’ll need to determine whether you need a layer 2 or a layer 3 switch for

your KE network. Layer 3 switches cost more than layer 2 switches because

they are more complex and handle more network traffic. The best way to

calculate which type of switch you need is to first determine if you will have a

dedicated network for the KE devices or if the KE devices will be on a network

that shares throughput with other network equipment such as computers,

servers and printers. If they share the network with other devices its best to

consider a layer 3 switch and use layer 2 switches exclusively for the KE device

connections. For larger installations we recommend using Layer 3 switches.

The major differences are:

Layer 3 Switch: IP addresses in packets are examined and intelligent

forwarding decisions are made. On a larger network broken into subnets

across long distances, a layer 3 switch becomes the best choice as they

can improve network efficiency and provide better traffic flow. They

are better at directing more traffic to different locations on a larger more

complex network, and with layer two switches working below them.

Layer 2 Switch: Packets are examined and forwarded using only the

MAC address. If you have a small central network, a layer 2 switch

should do the job. If the network is exclusive and will only transmit the

bandwidth of KE devices, layer 2 switches with the correct settings can

get the job done effectively.

Considerations

Number of ports

Choose a switch that has enough ports to match the number of KE devices you

will be installing. Switches typically come in 5, 8, 10, 16, 24, 28, 48, and 52-

port configurations. If you are installing 13 KE transmitters and 13 KE

receivers, you will need to purchase a switch with at least 28 ports.

Stackable verse Standalone

Stackable switches allow you to easily manage and configure ports spanning

across multiple switches that the KE devices are connected through. This

provides a centralized method to configure and troubleshoot the initial setup of

UPS User Manual

390

KE devices on a network which makes fine tuning the bandwidth, data

throughput and video quality easier. Stackable switches can be configured to

direct the KE transmissions between many units more specifically and

effectively. Standalone switches provide the same configuration features as

Stackable switches but they must be set individually.

Stackable switches provide an easy way to manage multiple switches, as one

unit. For example, instead of configuring, managing, and troubleshooting 6 28-

port switches individually, you can manage the six as if they are a single unit

using Stackable Switches. The six switches (168 ports) function as a single

switch and are managed from one web or GUI interface.

What Stackable Switches Can do:

1. Create a link aggregation group with one port in one unit of the stack and

another port of that group in another switch in the stack.

2. Select a port on one switch in the stack and mirror the traffic to a switch

port on another unit of the stack; thus copy the configuration to direct

traffic more effectively between KE devices.

3. Apply custom ACL security settings to any port on any switch in the stack.

4. Stackable switches can be setup in a ring configuration, so that if a port or

cable fails, the stack automatically routes around the failure, at

microsecond speeds. Stackable Switches also allow you to add and remove

stack “members” which are automatically updated and recognized as such.

Switch Specifications

The following specifications are recommended when choosing a layer 2 or

layer 3 switch:

1000Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (1000Mbps or faster Ethernet ports)

High bandwidth between switches, if possible using Fibre Channel

Layer 3 switches that efficiently processes IGMP queries

IGMP Snooping v2 or v3

Flow Control Functions

Throughput of: Full Duplex, 1Gbps up- and down- stream speeds per port

Performance of their most onerous tasks (e.g. IGMP snooping) with

multiple dedicated processors (ASICS)

Use the same switch make and model throughout each subnet

Appendix

391

The maximum number of simultaneous ‘snoopable groups’ the switch can

handle meets or exceeds the number of KE transmitters that will be used to

create Channel groups

Configuring Switches and KE Devices

Configuring the switch correctly will pass data more efficiently, allowing a

better stream across the network to each KE device. The following settings will

help optimize your network traffic through a switch:

Enable IGMP Snooping on L2 switches

Enable IGMP Querier on the L3 switch

Enable IGMP Fast-Leave on all switches where KE units are directly

connected

Enable Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) on all switches and enable Portfast

exclusively on switch ports that have KE units connected

Pick an appropriate forwarding mode on all switches. Use Cut-through if

available, or Store and Forward (see Recommended Network Switches

below)

KE transmitter Settings:

Adjust the KE transmitter settings one at a time, in small intervals, and

view the images as you do, so that you can adjust to the positive or

negative results and achieve the best quality and bandwidth possible

setting to the highest level and reduce the Bandwidth Limit and Color

Depth setting.

When images on the screen are more often static, increase the Background

Refresh and/or the Video Quality settings

Check that all KE units have been updated with the latest firmware version
