User Notice

All information, documentation, and specifications contained in this manual are subject to change without prior notification by the manufacturer. The manufacturer makes no representations or warranties, either expressed or implied, with respect to the contents hereof and specifically disclaims any warranties as to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose. Any of the manufacturer's software described in this manual is sold or licensed as is.

Should the programs prove defective following their purchase, the buyer (and not the manufacturer, its distributor, or its dealer), assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair and any incidental or consequential damages resulting from any defect in the software.

The manufacturer of this system is not responsible for any radio and/or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this device. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in the operation of this system if the correct operational voltage setting was not selected prior to operation. PLEASE VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE SETTING IS

CORRECT BEFORE USE.

A typical LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor has millions of pixels. A dead pixel refers to a pixel with a defect in its ability to display the correct color output. It most often looks like a tiny black or white spot on your screen, although it can be any other color. Since even a tiny dust particle on one of the pixels during the manufacturing process or a slight bump during shipping can create a dead pixel, the ISO 13406-2 norm defines 4 classes of acceptable screens with dead pixels--Class 1 is the best; Class 4 is the worst. Almost all manufacturers use Class 2 to establish their warranties, which allows a certain amount of dead pixels to exist before they will replace the screen. Since the manufacturers consider these screens to be acceptable under ISO specifications, we cannot be responsible for replacement or warranty of the

TFT LCD panel.

Chapter 1

Introduction

Overview

The CL6700 Single Rail DVI LCD Console is a KVM control unit featuring an integrated 19" DVI LCD panel, a full keyboard, and a touch pad in a 1U rackmountable sliding housing with an AC based input power source and audio support.

The CL6700 serves as the front end sliding console for compatible DVI KVM switches. This means users who already have a compatible KVM switch can take advantage of the space saving and efficiency benefits of the sliding console module without having to purchase a KVM switch module.

The CL6700’s single rail design allows the LCD monitor and keyboard/touch pad modules to operate independently of each other. For added convenience, a port for an external USB mouse is provided on the unit’s front panel, while ports for an extra console (USB mouse, USB keyboard, DVI monitor and VGA monitor) for a second user are provided on the rear panel.

Setup is fast and easy. Simply use the included custom USB DVI KVM cable set to link the LCD Console's KVM port to the console ports of your KVM switch and you are ready to go.

Since the CL6700's firmware is upgradable, you can stay current with the latest functionality improvements simply by downloading firmware updates from

ATEN’s web site as they become available.

Hot Plugging

The CL6700 supports hot plugging – components can be removed and added to the console by unplugging their cables from the ports without the need to shut down the CL6700.

Powering Off and Restarting

If it becomes necessary to Power Off the CL6700 (to upgrade the firmware, for example), simply turn off the power to the unit using the rear panel power switch. To restart the CL6700, turn the rear panel power switch back on.

Port ID Numbering & Port Selection

Port ID numbering and Port Selection follow the method used by the KVM switch connected to the CL6700. Consult your KVM switch's User Manual for details.

Chapter 3. Operation

Hotkeys

Console selection on the CL6700 is accomplished with hotkey combinations, as described in the following table:

Combination

[Ctrl] [Alt] [Shift] [P] [C] [Enter]

[Ctrl] [Alt] [Shift] [S] [U] [N] [Enter] To select SUN

[Ctrl] [Alt] [Shift]

[u] [p] [g] [r] [a] [d] [e] [Enter]

Activates the Firmware Upgrade Mode.

Note: this Hotkey sequence only works when the

Firmware Upgrade Recovery Switch (see page 22)

is in the Normal position.

[Ctrl] [Alt] [Shift] [L] [Enter]

Action

To select normal mode (pc, etc.).

[Ctrl] [Alt] [Shift] [R] [Enter]

Enable Local (LCD) console;

Disable Remote (external) console.

Enable Remote (external) console

Disable Local (LCD) console.

Enable both consoles (default).

[Ctrl] [Alt] [Shift] [L] [R] [Enter] or

Note: 1. Press the keys in sequence – one key at a time. First [Ctrl], then [Alt], then [Shift], etc.

2. Console selections are not saved. If the CL6700 is powered off, it reverts to the default setting of both consoles enabled when it is powered on again.

3. If the KVM switch connected to the CL6700 uses the [Ctrl] [Alt]

[Shift] combination to invoke its hotkey mode, you won't be able to access any of its hotkey operations because the CL6700 will capture the combination for console selection first.

There are ghost images on the external monitor.

Action

The distance between the external console and the

CL6700 is too great. The maximum DVI cable distance should not exceed 20m and, in some cases, may need to be shorter. Replace the DVI cable with one of an appropriately short length.

Some characters I enter from the keyboard do not display correctly.

I can’t use the special keys on the Sun external keyboard to control Sun computers.

The keyboard layout setting for the port does not match the keyboard you are using. On your switch, change the keyboard layout setting for the port to match the layout of the keyboard you are using.

Use Sun keyboard emulation keystrokes (page 38) to

achieve all Sun keyboard functions.
