5. Operation
Download of DDC Information
By default, data from the internal DDC list is reported to the source (computer, CPU). If these settings do not lead to a satisfying
result, you can download and store the console monitor’s DDC information internally. The devices must be configured accordingly
(see Section 4.2).
On all KVM Extenders with USB-HID support, the user can load the DDC information of the console monitor via keyboard
command under operating conditions.
1. Enter Command Mode with the “hotkey” (see Section 4.2).
2. Press the <a> key to download the DDC information of the console monitor.
The screen goes black for a short time. Status LEDs on both CON and then CPU modules will flash to indicate the copy and store
process.
At the same time Command Mode is closed and the keyboard LEDs return to previous status.
This re-adjusts the video mode. You should have optimal screen quality. The CPU should now show the console monitor as the
current screen, together with the available video resolutions.
The DDC information of the console monitor was loaded once.
To re-load the DDC information, repeat the operation.
