Manual Thin Client Ex Preface


1 Preface

These manual contains further information to start up the Thin Client Ex devices. All information contained in these manual applies to all models of the Thin Client Ex series. Any differences between the two product ranges ET-5x6 and MT-5x6 will be explicitly mentioned and dealt with.

Manual Thin Client Ex Standard Thin Client Ex connection


2 Standard Thin Client Ex connection

The standard application of the Thin Client Ex system is a direct Ethernet connection via the KVM box to the host PC. To enable you to establish this connection quickly and correctly, the following section deals with the necessary connections. For further information, please also refer to Section 3.2 Standard application Thin Client

Ex system.

2.1 Thin Client Ex connection to the KVM box

The Thin Client Ex station is connected to the KVM box via an Ethernet connection which can consist of copper (Tx) or optical fiber (Fx). 2.1.1 Ethernet Tx connection

Cable and connector assignment:

If the wiring version shown here (cross-link connection) should prove to be problematic,

you can use a one-to-one pin assignment.



2.1.2 Ethernet Fx connection

2.2 Host PC connection to the KVM box

Several connections are required from host PC to the KVM box so that the Thin Client Ex station can display the screen contents of the host PC and operate it, too. In addition to the voltage supply of the KVM box, these include the signal lines for video, mouse and keyboard signals. All these connections are located at the black connector sockets. 2.2.1 Standard connection via DVI and USB



2.2.2 Connection via DVI and PS/2

As an alternative, if the host PC has no USB support for pointer devices and keyboard, the PS/2 connection of the KVM box can be used for the connection of these.

2.2.3 Connection via VGA

If the host computer has no DVI video signal, the KVM box can also be connected via a VGA video signal and cable. In this case, however, each host PC resolution used requires a video calibration of the KVM box. A VGA-DVI-I adapter is also required, since the KVM box only has a DVI-I connector. The KVM box's scope of delivery includes such a VGA-DVI-I cable for this purpose.



2.2.4 Connection to the remote USB medium

For further information on the remote USB medium, please refer to Section 6.6.4 Remote USB-Medium.

A conventional USB connection cable type A - B can be used for the connection between host PC and the KVM box.



2.3 Connection of local operating unit to KVM box

If the option of locally operating the host PC is also required, it is possible to connect the mouse, keyboard and monitor to the KVM box for such a local operation. For this, the KVMA connection field called "Lokal" (named MOUSE/KEYBOARD/MONITOR/SPEAKER on the KVM box itself) is used. For further information on the connections to the KVM box, please also refer to Sections

6.6 Connection Options and 6.6.5 KVMA connection field "Lokal".

Mouse and keyboard connections to the "Lokal" KVMA connection field have to be the same as the mouse and keyboard connections from the KVM box to the host PC. If the host PC is connected to the KVM box via the USB connection, keyboard and mouse connections at the "Lokal" KVMA connection field also have to be via USB. If the host PC is connected to the KVM box via PS/2, however, keyboard and mouse connections at the "Lokal" KVMA connection field have to be via PS/2.

Instead of the DVI connection the analog VGA version can be used to connect the screen. The type of connection from the local monitor (DVI or VGA) is independent from the type of video connection between the KVM box and the host PC. For this, please note that the KVM box only has a DVI-I interface, so that a VGA-DVI-I adapter or the VGA-DVI-I cable must be used for the VGA option.

Manual Thin Client Ex System Function and Description


3 System Function and Description

The Thin Client Ex devices are remote stations used for operation and visualization, where the PC that is operated is located in the safe area. The versatility of the Thin Client Ex system means that it can be adapted to suit a large variety of applications. Regardless of whether

you want to monitor or to operate, too,

the host computer has PS/2 or USB interfaces,

the video signal is analog (VGA) or digital (DVI), the Thin Client Ex system can be used in all of these cases. For system functionality, please also refer to the information on the KVM box in

Chapter 6.

3.1 Conditions for the host computer

The Thin Client Ex system can support all kinds of host computers, but these have to fulfill certain minimum requirements: These are:

The host computer should support USB pointer devices. As an alternative, the PS/2 interface can be used.

The screen resolution of the host must not exceed that of the Thin Client Ex station. This would mean 1024x768 pixels for the 38 cm (15") Thin Client Ex device and 1280 x 1024 pixels for the 48 cm (19") device.

The DVI or VGA video output of the host computer has to correspond to one of the VESA standard resolutions listed in the table below. For an optimum image quality the host computer's resolution should be the same as that of the Thin Client Ex station.

VESA resolution (pixels) Repetition rate (Hz)

640 X 480 60, 72, 75, 85

800 x 600 60, 72, 75, 85

1024 x 768 60, 70, 75, 85

1152 X 864 75

1280 x 1024 60, 75

Manual Thin Client Ex System Function and Description


3.2 Standard application Thin Client Ex system

The standard application of the Thin Client Ex system is a direct Ethernet connection via the KVM box to the host PC. In turn, this host PC is connected to the KVM box (5x6-KVM-digital) via a DVI cable for the video signal and a USB cable for mouse and keyboard function. If all components have been properly connected, the Thin Client Ex station will display the screen contents of the host PC automatically after having been switched on. The (virtual) keyboard, any pointer devices connected to the Thin Client Ex device and the touch screen (after calibration) of the Thin Client Ex device will also work immediately. No further settings are required for this standard application. If the host computer has no DVI video signal, the KVM box can also be connected via a VGA video signal. In this case, however, each host PC resolution used requires a video calibration of the KVM box. As an alternative, if the host PC has no USB support for pointer devices and keyboard, the PS/2 connection of the KVM box can be used for the connection of these. If the "local" functionality of the KVM box should also be used with pointer device and keyboard, this needs to be connected via the PS/2 interface. For the connection of pointer devices and keyboard to the KVM box, please also refer to

3.3 Functional expansion of the Thin Client Ex system

The Thin Client Ex systems standard application can be expanded in functionality by adding various options. This is possible for all connection versions with the KVM box. Functional expansions are:

Local operation of the host computer

Audio support

Remote media connection 3.3.1 Local operation of the host computer

As an alternative to operating the host computer via the Thin Client Ex station this can also be done locally. For this, connect the screen, pointer device and keyboard in question to the KVMA connection field called "Lokal" (name on the KVM box: MOUSE/KEYBOARD/MONITOR/SPEAKER). For the connection of devices to the "Lokal" KVMA connection field of the KVM box,

please also refer to Section 6.6.5 KVMA connection field "Lokal". The keyboard connected to the local KVMA connection field of the KVM box can also be used to call up the configuration menu of the KVM box. This is only necessary for configurations that differ from the standard (e.g. for setting the IP address of the KVM box). 3.3.2 Remote media connection

A USB Flash-Drive (max. 2GB) can be connected to the Thin Client Ex station, making data available directly on the host PC in the hazardous area. This requires a USB connection between the KVM box and the host PC. The Thin Client Ex device can be fitted with an additional USB cable (VB-USB-Plug), providing it with an external USB(i) plug to which this USB Flash-Drive can be connected.

Pleae note that in hazardous areas you may only use an intrinsically safe USB Flash-Drives !

For more information, please refer to Section 6.6.4 Remote USB-Medium.

4 Software Thin Client Ex

The start menu, the network diagnosis and the Thin Client Ex configuration menu are only available in English. Use the system menu of the Thin Client Ex device to adjust all other parameters where required. For the standard application of the Thin Client Ex system no configuration via this system menu is required ! The system menu can be called up by pressing the F8 key on the device itself, on the connected external keyboard or on the touch screen keyboard.

6.3 Installation

Please note the conditions listed below that must be observed for the intended purpose of the KVM box !

The KVM box may only be installed indoors in a dry and oil-free environment.

The KVM box may not be used as a connection between two buildings !

Please ensure that all Ethernet copper cables are laid according to applicable installation guidelines.

Do not connect any CATx interfaces with RJ-45 connectors to other epuipment which does not correspond to its associated function, such as telecommunications equipment.

The KVM box is not connected to earth and may therefore not be used for applications that require this or a galvanic connection.

Do not attempt to repair the KVM box yourself.

Both the KVM box and the associated power supply unit warm up during operating ! Please ensure sufficient air can circulate around the components.

Caution ! The power supply unit contains conducting parts.

There are no parts that require servicing inside the power supply unit. Do not remove the housing !

Connect the power supply unit to a socket close to the KVM box.

The power supply unit may only be replaced by equivalent units tested by the manufacturer !

You must stop using the power supply unit as soon as you notice any damage to the housing or when it is no longer working properly !

Wherever possible avoid parallel wiring of communication and live cables.

Use screened cables for communication lines to prevent electromagnetic interference.

6.4 Assembly and disassembly

The KVM box can be installed as a table-top unit. Four rubber feet can be glued to the bottom of the KVM box for table-top mounting. Please ensure that there is sufficient extra space for cabling.



6.5 Operating mode displays

At the front of the KVM box are six different LEDs for various operating modes. These are:

LED name Status Description

LOC Flashing Keboard or mouse data are being received by local console *

REM Flashing Keboard or mouse data are being received by Thin Client Ex station **

VNC ON Shows an active connection to the Thin Client Ex station ***

100 Off Ethernet network speed 10 Mbit/s

On Ethernet network speed 100 Mbit/s

LNK On Network link established

Flashing Network activity

PWR On KVM box connected to power supply

* While the LOC LED is flashing the operation from the Thin Client Ex station is disabled.

After an interval of 3 seconds this is re-enabled. ** While the REM LED is flashing, the operation from the local host PC is disabled. After an

interval of 3 seconds this is re-enabled. *** If more than one Thin Client Ex station is connected to this KVM box, the VNC LED will

only go out when the last Thin Client Ex station is no longer connected.



6.6 Connection options

The KVM box has two connection fields: one for the connection to the host PC, and one for the connection of the local operating unit.

For the connection to the host PC, use the KVMA connection field called "Host-PC" (name on the KVM box: TO LOCAL COMPUTER) (red field no. 1).

For the connection to the local operating unit, use the KVMA connection field called "Lokal" (named MOUSE/KEYBOARD/MONITOR/SPEAKER on the KVM box itself) (red field no. 2).

The two Sub-D connectors of the KVM box have no function and are not required. Numbered view:

6.6.1 Video connection

The video socket (blue no. 4) can be used for both analog (VGA) and digital (DVI) video connections. The digital video signals of the host PC are fed into the KVM box via the existing DVI-I socket. To establish this connection, use the video cables included in the delivery.



6.6.2 Mouse and keyboard

A USB connection betwee the kexboard/mouse socket (blue no. 5) and the host PC is required for the transfer of mouse and keyboard signals from the Thin Client Ex station to the host PC. A standard USB cable type A-B can be used for this. As an alternative to this USB connection you can also use a PS/2 connection for mouse (blue no. 6) and keyboard (blue no. 7) Here, too, you can use standard, commercially available PS/2 cables. This PS/2 alternative should only be used if the host computer does not support USB keyboards and mouses, because the PS/2 connection has certain disadvantages. These are:

An initial mouse calibration at the Thin Client Ex station is required for each host screen resolution used to operate the touch screen, because the PS/2 protocol does not support absolute positioning.

If the Thin Client Ex station is operated in touch screen mode, the cursor needs to be re-synchronised. This is particularly important if other pointer devices are also connected directly to the host computer. This constellation should be avoided.

6.6.3 Remote USB medium

The KVM box can virtualize USB Flash-Drives connected to the Thin Client Ex station and make them available to the host computer as if they were attached to it. This works with USB Flash-Drives with a maximum memory of 2 GB. The manufacturer provides an explosion-proof USB Flash-Drive for hazardous areas. Apart from these, standard USB Flash-Drives may be used. If the virtual medium function is required, the virtual medium interface (blue no. 9) of the KVM box must be connected to an unused USB interface at the host computer. A standard USB cable type A-B can be used for this. 6.6.4 KVMA connection field "Lokal"

Use the "Lokal" KVMA connection field (named MOUSE/KEYBOARD/MONITOR/SPEAKER on the KVM box itself) (red field no. 2) for the connection of components (monitor, keyboard, mouse and speakers) for the local operation of the host computer in addition to the remote access. For this, connect the components to their corresponding interfaces.

Please note the following:

Mouse and keyboard connections to the "Lokal" KVMA connection field have to be the same as the mouse and keyboard connections from the KVM box to the host PC. All connections have to be either via USB or via PS/2.

The connection type of the local monitor can be chosen regardless of the type of video connection of the KVM box to the host computer.

Local and remote control of the host PC are mutually exclusive so that they cannot be used simultaneously.

6.6.5 Purely visual connection

Establishing a connection that merely enables the visual display of the host PC's screen contents at the Thin Client Ex device is the simplest connection version. In addition to the power supply, this only requires the Ethernet connection to the Thin Client Ex station and the video connection to the host PC.
