Supported Features

  • Bidirectional cpu to console routing via one layer.

  • Single cpu to console and console to CPU routing via two layers.

The implementation provides two protocol types. The single layer protocol provides bidirectional routing of cpus to consoles via a single layer (KVM). The multilayer protocol allows unidirectional switching. In that case, the first layer switches a CPU to a console, where the CPUs are the sources and the consoles are the targets (Video only). The second layer then switches consoles to CPUs, but the CPUs are the targets and the consoles the sources instead (Keyboard/Mouse only).

Supported Commands

0x47SetConsoleConnects a CPU to a console
0x48ClearConsoleDisconnects a CPU from a console
0x4BSetCpuConnects a console to a CPU
0x4CClearCpuDisconnects a console from a CPU
0x4FSetCpuAndConsoleConnects a CPU to a console in both directions
0x50ClearCpuAndConsoleDisconnects a CPU from a console in both directions
0x53GetBlockGets all current connections
0x40GetTimeGets the device time. This command is used a keep-alive mechanism.

Configuration Details

The blind source may be configured via the web Interface of the Probel SW-P-08 provider.

To receive crosspoint notifications, the “Enable COM Echo” option must be enabled on the Draco Major frame.
