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
KVM over IP Matrix System User Manual
2
to a 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.

*Power redundancy via PoE requires power board version B01G or later (see
PoE Power Redundancy on page 74 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.

KE6900 / KE6940 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 KE6900 / KE6900ST / KE6940 devices on the same TCP/IP LAN.
Prior to the setup, we recommend laying out the plans for your KE installation
using our performance guide (see Keys to Network Performance, page 391).
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 134, 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 133, for further details.
We recommend using 1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire speeds,
non-blocking with 1 Gbps / 1.5 Mpps performance per port) between KE
Series devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100 Mbps
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 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
indicate itself.
2. Connect the USB KVM cable provided to the KVM ports on the front of
the KE6900T / KE6940T.
Chapter 2. Hardware Setup
111
3. Connect the other end of the USB KVM cable to the keyboard, video,
mouse, speaker, and microphone ports on the computer.
4. For control of serial devices, connect the RS-232 serial port on the
transmitter to a serial port on the computer.
5. Use a Cat 5e/6 cable to connect the KE6900T / KE6940T’s LAN port to
the local area TCP/IP network.
6. Plug the power adapter into an AC source, and plug the other end into the
KE6900T / KE6940T’s power jack.
7. On the receiver side, plug the mouse, keyboard, DVI monitor,
microphone, and speakers into the ports on the console section of the
KE6900R / KE6940R.**
8. Use a Cat 5e/6 cable to connect the KE6900R / KE6940R’s LAN port to
the local area TCP/IP network.
9. Plug the second power adapter into an AC source, and plug the other end
into the KE6900R / KE6940R's power jack.
10. Use the OSD on the receiver to configure the network settings for both
devices (See Network Configuration, page 133).
11. Repeat these steps for each Transmitter and Receiver you wish to install on
the network.
12. Power on the computer(s).
Note: 1. If installing the KE6940 with two DVI monitors, connect the second
DVI monitor via a DVI cable into the additional ports on the KE6940

KE6900AiT / KE6940AiT 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 extender devices on the same TCP/IP LAN. Prior to the setup, we
recommend laying out the plans for your KE installation using our
performance guide (see Keys to Network Performance, page 391).
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 134, 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 133, for further details.
We recommend using 1000-Mbps Gigabit Ethernet switches (wire speeds,
non-blocking with 1 Gbps / 1.5 Mpps performance per port) between KE
Series devices installed on different LAN segments. 10/100 Mbps
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.
The unit supports network redundancy. Where both LAN and SFP ports
are connected, a network redundancy is established. Please note that if you
use copper SFP modules, the module has to be removed for the unit to
switch to the LAN port’s network.
For USB keyboards / mice with advanced function designs, see USB

Note: If you wish to use CCVSR and/or remote access with WinClient/
JavaClient, you will still need to connect the Internet Port of the
KE6900AiT / KE6940AiT to an office LAN.
It is highly recommended to mount the AiT unit(s) onto a system rack
or wall, and avoid stacked setup to ensure proper ventilation.

address.
2. For security, we strongly recommend that you set this to View Only
or Disabled after using it.
Service Ports
Specify the ports that the transmitter uses for various network services.
Program: This is the port number for connecting to the transmitter from
the Windows Client and Java Viewers, and from the Windows and Java
Client AP programs. The default is 9000.
HTTP: The port number for a browser login. The default is 80.
HTTPS: The port number for a secure browser login. The default is 443.

2. The service ports cannot have the same value. You must set a
different value for each one.
3. If there is no firewall (on an intranet, for example), it does not matter
what these numbers are set to, since they have no effect.
If a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify the port numbers that
the firewall will allow (and set the firewall accordingly). If a port other than the
default is set, users must specify the port number as part of the IP address when
they log in. If not, an invalid port number (or no port number) is specified, the

to the transmitter. Click one of the radio buttons to select Enabled, Disabled,
or View Only for the IP Installer utility. See p. 378 for IP Installer details.
Note: 1. If you select View Only, you will be able to see the transmitter in the
IP Installer’s Device List, but you will not be able to change the IP
address.
2. For security, we strongly recommend that you set this to View Only
or Disabled after using it.
Ports
Specify the ports that the transmitter uses for various network services.
Program: This is the port number for connecting to the transmitter from
the Windows Client and Java Viewers, and from the Windows and Java
Client AP programs. The default is 9000.
HTTP: The port number for a browser login. The default is 80.
HTTPS: The port number for a secure browser login. The default is 443.
Note: 1. Valid entries for all of the Service Ports are from 1–65535.
2. The service ports cannot have the same value. You must set a
different value for each one.
3. If there is no firewall (on an intranet, for example), it does not matter
what these numbers are set to, since they have no effect.
If a firewall is being used, the Administrator can specify the port numbers that
the firewall will allow (and set the firewall accordingly). If a port other than the
default is set, users must specify the port number as part of the IP address when
they log in. If not, an invalid port number (or no port number) is specified, the
transmitter will not be found.

function will render the unit undiscoverable in the Server List but can still
be connected to.
IPv4 Settings
The transmitter can either have its IP address assigned dynamically at boot-up
(DHCP), or it can be given a fixed IP address.
For dynamic IP address assignment, select the DHCP radio button. (This
is the default setting.)
To specify a fixed IP address, select the Manual radio button and fill in the
IP address.
Note: 1. If you choose DHCP, when the transmitter starts up it waits to get its
IP address from the DHCP server. If it has not obtained the address
after one minute, it automatically reverts to its factory default IP
address, 192.168.0.61.
2. If the transmitter is on a network that uses DHCP to assign network
addresses, and you need to ascertain its IP address, you can use the IP
installer. See IP Installer, page 378 for information.

Certificates, page 380 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

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

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.
Copy & Paste
Copy & Paste allows you to copy settings from one Transmitter and paste them
to another. To copy Transmitter settings to another device, do the following:

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 229)

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 380 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,

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.

Remote Viewer (AiT Models only)
Introduction
If the video source(s) of your AiT model is connected, the remote viewer can
be used to access these video source(s) as if it were your local system.
A window will be presented and the remote server is displayed inside this
window.
You can maximize the window, drag the borders to resize the window and
use the scrollbars to move around the screen.
Due to net lag, there might be a slight delay before your keystrokes show
up. You may also have to wait a bit for the remote mouse to catch up to
your local mouse before you click.
Due to net lag, or insufficient computing power on the local machine,
some images, especially motion images, may display poorly.
There are several ways you can access the remote servers and are listed below:
1. Windows viewer accessed directly from the web browser GUI.
2. Java viewer accessed directly from the web browser GUI.
3. Windows Client Viewer AP (without browser). On the browser login
page, a “Download Windows Client AP” is available. Refer to The
Windows/Java Client AP on page 284 for more information.
4. Java Client Viewer AP (without browser). Since the control is identical
to the windows client viewer, refer to The Control Panel on page 287 on
the control of the viewer interface.

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.

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.

Firmware Upgrade Utility
The Windows-based Firmware Upgrade Utility (FWUpgrade.exe) provides a
smooth, automated process for upgrading the firmware. The Utility comes as
part of a Firmware Upgrade Package that is specific for each device. New
firmware upgrade packages are posted on our web site as new firmware
revisions become available. Check the web site regularly to find the latest
packages and information relating to them:
http://www.aten.com
For browser based firmware upgrade, please refer to FW Upgrade on page 262.
Preparation
1. From a computer that is not part of your installation go to our Internet
support site and choose the model name that relates to your KE device to
get a list of available Firmware Upgrade Packages.
2. Choose the Firmware Upgrade Package you want to install (usually the
most recent), and download it to your computer.
3. Be sure that the computer is connected to the same LAN segment as the
KE devices.

Starting the Upgrade
To upgrade your firmware:
1. Run the downloaded Firmware Upgrade Package file - either by double
clicking the file icon, or by opening a command line and entering the full
path to it. The Firmware Upgrade Utility Welcome screen appears:
Note: The screens shown in this section are for reference only.
2. Read the License Agreement (enable the I Agree radio button).
3. Click Next. The Firmware Upgrade Utility main screen appears:
Chapter 12. Firmware Upgrade Utility
307
4. The Utility inspects your installation. All the devices capable of being
upgraded by the package are listed in the Select Master Device list.
5. After you have made your device selection, Click OK and then Next to
begin the upgrade.
If you enabled Check Firmware Version, the Utility compares the device’s
firmware level with that of the upgrade files. If it finds that the device’s
version is higher than the upgrade version, it brings up a dialog box
informing you of the situation and gives you the option to Continue or
Cancel.
If you didn’t enable Check Firmware Version, the Utility installs the
upgrade files without checking whether they are a higher level, or not.
As the Upgrade proceeds status messages appear in the Status Messages
panel, and the progress toward completion is shown on the Progress bar.

CLI Commands
Serial Control Protocol Commands
The KE Series’s built-in bi-directional RS-232 serial interface and LAN port
connection allows system control via Receivers through a high-end controller
or PC. This control feature can also be accessed via TCP/IP through a computer
running Telnet. The port for Telnet commands should be set to 9130.
Configuring the Serial Port
The controller’s serial port should be configured the same as the Receiver’s
default configuration, as shown below:
The Receiver’s Function Switch should be set to RS-232 Config (see page 12).
Before executing RS-232 commands across a network you must install the KE
Matrix Manager software on a computer and ensure that it is online. For the
Slim Version of KE Series (KE8900ST/8900SR/9900ST). Please make sure
the RS-232 Serial Port is not connected before executing commands.
On your computer, open a terminal (command line) session. Please press
"Enter"or "T/t" to start “CLI Session” or "Text Menu".

profile in the command line interface.
Note: To find out about the List number for a device/profile, execute a List
command (page 328).
Telnet
The KE Series can be operated and configured via a remote terminal session
using Telnet. This is a useful means for configuring devices when they are first
setup and connected to the network.
To log into the KE Series device by means of a Telnet session, do the
following:
1. On your computer, open a terminal (command line) session.
2. At the prompt, key in the KE device’s IP address with port 9130 in the
following way:
telnet [IP address] [port]
3. Press Enter. The login screen appears. At the login prompt, provide the
Password.
Verification
After sending a command, a verification message appears at the end of the
command line. Use the echo command to identify a command by number:
Command OK - the command is correct and performed successfully
Command incorrect - the command has the wrong format and/or values.
Echo Command - at the end of a command string, type: e1234 – where
1234 can be any number. The verification message returns with the echo
number.

Set Command
The Set command allows you to configure the properties of a device. Some
settings require that both the device and Matrix Manager are online or the
command will fail.
The formula for the Set command is as follows:
Command + Output + Input + Number + Control + Value + [Enter]
1. For example, to set the name of the local Receiver to KE6940TX1, type
the following:
set Name=KE6940TX1 [Enter]
2. For example, to set the description of Transmitter (192.168.0.33) to KE
Room B, type the following:
set o192.168.0.19 Description=KE Room B [Enter]
3. For example, to set the DHCP settings of Transmitter (192.168.0.28) to
static, type the following:
set i192.168.0.28 dhcpFlag=STATIC [Enter]
4. For example, to set the IP settings of the local Receiver to 192.168.0.2,
type the following:
set ipAddr=192.168.0.2 [Enter]
5. For example, to set the Transmitter Video IP setting to 192.168.0.44 for
Receiver (192.168.0.56), type the following:

Do not place the device on any unstable surface (cart, stand, table, etc.). If
the device falls, serious damage will result.
Do not use the device near water.
Do not place the device near, or over, radiators or heat registers.
The device cabinet is provided with slots and openings to allow for
adequate ventilation. To ensure reliable operation, and to protect against
overheating, these openings must never be blocked or covered.
The device should never be placed on a soft surface (bed, sofa, rug, etc.) as
this will block its ventilation openings. Likewise, the device should not be
placed in a built in enclosure unless adequate ventilation has been provided.
Never spill liquid of any kind on the device.
Avoid circuit overloads. Before connecting equipment to a circuit, know
the power supply’s limit and never exceed it. Always review the electrical
specifications of a circuit to ensure that you are not creating a dangerous
condition or that one doesn’t already exist. Circuit overloads can cause a
fire and destroy equipment.
Unplug the device from the wall outlet before cleaning. Do not use liquid
or aerosol cleaners. Use a damp cloth for cleaning.
The device should be operated from the type of power source indicated on
the marking label. If you are not sure of the type of power available,
consult your dealer or local power company.
To prevent damage to your installation it is important that all devices are
properly grounded.
Do not allow anything to rest on the power cord or cables. Route the
power cord and cables so that they cannot be stepped on or tripped over.
Position system cables and power cables carefully; Be sure that nothing
rests on any cables.

Rack Mount
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.

Trusted Certificates
Overview
When you try to log in to the device from your browser, a Security Alert
message appears to inform you that the device’s certificate is not trusted, and
asks if you want to proceed.
The certificate can be trusted, but the alert is triggered because the certificate’s
name is not found on the Microsoft list of Trusted Authorities. You can ignore
the warning and click Yes to go on.

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
city/O=yourorganiztion/OU=yourorganizationalunit/
CN=yourcommonname/emailAddress=name@yourcompany.com
openssl req -new -newkey rsa:1024 -days 3653 -nodes -x509
-keyout CA.key -out CA.cer -config openssl.cnf -subj
“/C=CA/ST=BC/L=Richmond/O=ATEN International/OU=ATEN
/CN=ATEN/emailAddress=eservice@aten.com.tw
Importing the Files
After the openssl.exe program completes, two files – CA.key (the private key)
and CA.cer (the self-signed SSL certificate) – are created in the directory that
you ran the program from.

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)
X =16
If X is between 0 ~ 127
Transmitter IP XVideo
X + 128
Audio
X + 192

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
392
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
393
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
394
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
395
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
If the quality of color is important, set the Color Depth to 24 bits (KE69
Series) or 36 bits (KE89 Series) and manually adjust other settings until
you are satisfied with the visual appearance
If moving video images are shown frequently, increase the Video Quality
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
