MX44KVM
Quick Reference Guide
01
Our 4x4 USB 3.0 KVM Matrix oers unprecedented performance and value for the custom
and commercial installation market. The MX44KVM is a USB 3.0 Matrix package allowing 4x
USB peripheral devices to be shared between 4x host devices, supporting plug-and-play
capabliities, and USB data transfer rates up to 5Gbps.
The Matrix provides advanced features including cascading of multiple MX44KVM units,
GPIO functionality for 3rd party product triggers, an in-built web browser interface
module for control and configuration of the Matrix, along with RS-232 for seamless control
integration. An RS-232 loop-through connection allows for the MX44KVM to be intrinsically
linked to any Blustream video matrix product for the addition of KVM support to our
video-only switching products.

Web GUI Control
The MX44KVM features an in-built Web GUI which can be used for control and configuration of the Matrix. By default the matrix is
set to DHCP, however if a DHCP server (eg: network router) is not installed the matrix IP address will revert to below details:
Default Username is: blustream Default Password is: 1234 Default IP Address is: 192.168.0.200
For further information please see the MX44KVM User Manual - available to download from the Blustream website.

RS-232 Configuration
RS-232 port 1 is used for configuration and control of the product. RS-232 port 2 is used for cascading multiple MX44KVM units
together to create a larger I/O KVM matrix system, or when used in conjunction with a Bustream AV matrix to add KVM switching
to a larger system.
The default RS-232 communication settings are:
Baud Rate: 57600
Data Bit: 8
Stop Bit: 1
Parity Bit: none
For a complete RS-232 command list please see the MX44KVM User Manual - available to download from the Blustream website.
The Blustream range of matrix products include Matrix control via IR. IMPORTANT: Blustream Infrared products are
all 5V and NOT compatible with alternative manufacturers Infrared solutions. When using third party 12V IR
control solutions please use the Blustream IRCAB cable for IR conversion.
IR Receiver - IRR
Blustream 5V IR receiver to receive
an IR signal for control of the matrix.
IR Control Cable - IRCAB (supplied)
Blustream IR Control cable 3.5mm Mono to
3.5mm Stereo for linking third party control
solutions to Blustream products.
Compatible with 12V IR 3 party products.
Please Note: cable is directional as
indicated.

GPIO Configuration
The GPIO (General Purpose Input / Output) connections allow for the configuration of the functionality of the GPIO
ports on the MX44KVM. Each of the MX44KVM’s four I/O ports can be configured as either Inputs (voltage sensing), or
Outputs (contact closure or voltage trigger). Please refer to the MX44KVM User Manual available to download from the
Blustream website for more information.
