XP4010/XP4040/
XP4080 Units
General overview of
Front and Rear Access
models
The XP4000 Series products allow multiple users to operate PC-compatible,
Macintosh, Sun, RS/6000, Silicon raphics and Hewlett-Packard computers at
the same time. A basic XP4000 system consists of users and computers that are
all connected to one or more XP units. Any user in the system can access any
attached computer by simply 'switching' to that channel through the XP unit.
There are four chassis types available in the XP4000 Series: The XP4010, the
XP4040, the XP4080 and the XP4400. All models can be used in any
combination within one XP4000 system.
An XP system consists of four main components:
●
One or more XP4040/XP4010/XP4080/XP4400 units
●
A combination of operation modules
●
Associated cables to connect users and computers to the system.
●
Optional XP4000 Series complement products
The quantity and type of components you receive depends on the specific
configuration you order.
The XP4040 Unit
Front Access Desktop Model XP4040D
The front panel of a front access XP4040 unit has 9 connectors as follows:
●
PS/2 Keyboard
●
Macintosh
●
Serial Port
●
PS/2 Mouse
●
Sun
●
Microphone
●
Serial Mouse
●
V A Video
●
Speakers
These connectors are used to attach a keyboard, monitor, mouse, microphone,
speakers and serial device to the front panel of the XP4040. Peripherals
attached to the front of the box make up your local console.
Each front access XP4040 unit supports up to 14 modules. The first slot on the
far left side of the XP4040D (viewed from the rear) contains the local console

interface (LCI) module. The LCI comes pre-installed in the unit. The remain-
ing 13 slots in the unit may be configured as user consoles, attached comput-
ers, power control or expansion modules.
There are 12 push-buttons on the front panel labeled A through L. These
buttons select the active computer for the local console. The indicator lights
(LEDs) over each push-button reflect the type of activity, if any, that is taking
place on each attached computer. The alphanumeric display in the upper right
hand corner of the front panel shows which computer channel is currently
selected by the local console. Only the local console utilizes the push-buttons
and alphanumeric display. Secondary consoles, which connect to the XP4040
through the rear of the unit, select their active computer via the keyboard.
Secondary consoles, like the local console, have access to every computer in
the XP4040 system.
Front Access Rack Mount Model XP4040R
Cybex also offers a front access model designed for 19 inch rack use. It
supports all the features of the XP4040D Front Access unit.
Rear Access Desktop Model XP4040ED
The front panel of a rear access model XP4040E features LEDs only. These
LEDs reflect the power and selection status of all of the modules in that unit.
There are no connectors or alphanumeric display on the front of the unit.
There is no LCI (local console interface) module inside the unit. All 14 slots
are available for the installation and configuration of any module in the
system. All users connect through the rear of the unit and change computer
channels via keyboard switching.

Rear Access Rack Mount Model XP4040ER
Cybex also offers a rear access model designed for 19 inch rack use. It supports
all the features of the XP4040E rear access unit.
Rear Access Rack Mount Model XP4080ER
The XP4080ER rear access rack mount model supports all of the features of the
XP4040ED and XP4040ER models. Additionally, with this model, users can
access up to eight computers simultaneously and independently instead of the
four supported by XP4040 models. Used primarily in larger configurations
utilizing the XP4400 chassis, this model reduces the overall number of
XP4040 units required in the system
The XP4010 Unit
The XP4010 unit looks and functions like a front access XP4040D model with
the following exceptions:
1. An XP4010 system supports a maximum of five modules: the local user
console, pre-installed in the XP4010, and four additional modules which
can be configured as additional user consoles, attached computers, or
expansion modules.
2. The XP4010 front panel does not support an alphanumeric display.
3. The XP4010 is available in a front access desktop model only. Kits are
available for rack mounting. (RMK 19,20,21)

Operation
Modules
Depending on the chassis used, an XP4000 Series unit can support from 4 to
up to 14 individual operation modules, including the local console module, if
applicable. Modules may be ordered in any combination required, and are
easily installed by sliding them gently through the rear of the unit. See the
diagram below.
Basic modules are used to attach users and computers to the XP4000 system.
Advanced modules are used for linking multiple XP4000 Series units together,
power control and terminal emulation.
The XP4400 Unit
The XP4400 chassis is designed to accommodate larger XP system installations.
By channeling expansion signals from XP4040 users to attached computers,
the XP4400 enables large configurations with fewer XP4040 units, transmitter/
receiver cards and cables in the system. The XP4400 consists of a 9U high
chassis, containing two power supplies, two fan assemblies and a user specified
number of XP4400 transmitter and receiver modules. There are no users or
computers attached directly to this unit. There is an LCD display on the front
panel for the internal menuing system and four buttons that control menu
selections and operations.
Each module contains 16 sets of video and keyboard/mouse ports, enabling a
module to attach to as many as 16 XP4040 expansion ports, using two category
5 cables each. The XP4400 holds up to nine transmitter or receiver modules
per chassis. For more information on the XP4400, see Chapter 6.

Built-in scanning
capabilities
Features and
Benefits
The XP4000 Series AutoBoot feature boots all of your attached computers
during initial power-up or after a power failure. All computers are booted
transparently and simultaneously, eliminating the need for operator
intervention. Computers may be powered up one at a time or all at once.
KeyScan, a built-in scanning feature, allows you to automatically monitor or
scan all of your computer channels sequentially without intervention. When
KeyScan detects keyboard or mouse activity, scanning is suspended until all
activitystops. Scanningthenresumeswith thenextcomputer insequence.The
length of time each computer channel remains on the screen, or dwell time, is
configurable and can be changed at any time.
The XP4000 Series adds multiplatform capabilities to your switching system
by simultaneously supporting any combination of PC, Macintosh, Sun, RS/
6000, Silicon raphics or Hewlett-Packard computers in the same system.
Along with the ability to access many different types of computers and
workstations, you can now use any platform's peripherals to do it! You can use
any type of keyboard and mouse to access any type of computer in the system.
For example, a PC keyboard and mouse can operate a Sun server as easily as
a Sun keyboard and mouse will operate an attached PC.
Another useful feature is the multiuser capability of the XP4000 Series.
Instead of just one user having access to many different attached computers,
these products allow multiple users simultaneous access to different computers
in the system. This is called “matrix switching”. So, a system with four users
accessing four different computers would be a 4 x 4 matrix.

Each operation module, except the LCI, requires a cable to connect it to an
attached computer, user console, or other XP4000 Series unit. Computer
interface cables connect computers to the XP4000 Series unit. User interface
cables connect users to the unit. Expansion cables may be as long as 250 feet
and connect expansion units together. Typical cables are shown below.
XP4000 Series complements are optional products that work in conjunction
with the XP4010/XP4040 and XP4080 to give your system added flexibility
and control. For a detailed description of available complement products, see
Chapter 11.

On-screen management
Serial port
If two or more users need access to the same computer, they can ‘share’ access
to it through the XP units. Sharing means that multiple users can switch to the
same computer at the same time. Everyone can see that computer's video, but
only one can enter data at any given moment.
If your total number of computers and users is greater than 14, use our
expansion modules. Connecting an expansion transmitter in one XP Series unit
to an expansion receiver in another XP Series unit lets you combine multiple
units in one system. Control thousands of computers from one set of peripherals!
Transmitters and receivers are available with Cybex proprietary or industry
standard category 5 UTP cable connections. Category 5 cables can be ordered
in standard or extended distance versions. With Cybex or UTP standard
distance cabling, each XP Series unit can be up to 250 feet apart; a user and the
farthest accessible computers can be up to 500 feet apart.
Users in an XP Series system also have the option of multimedia support.
Every user has access to a dedicated keyboard, mouse and video monitor as
well as optional microphone and stereo speaker connections.
For on-screen management and multi-level security, try the XPDU deluxe user
module. Name your servers, then select them from a pop-up menu. Quick edit
capability lets you change channel name or address on the fly. Control features
allow you to manage scanning and broadcast operations on-screen as well.
On-screen management also supports multi-level security with password
protection. Control how much access users have to each computer in your data
center. An additional feature is the optional logout after a user defined period
of inactivity. When the timeout is reached, the current channel is deselected
and the screen goes blank. Users must login again to access system computers.
A serial port is also available, allowing for the use of a printer or similar serial
device at the console. This serial port can optionally be used as a serial access
port to the XP Series Control Menu. From this menu, you can determine your

revision level, system configuration and even upgrade the firmware to keep
your system current at all times.
FLASH technology allows the XP Series firmware to be updated without ever
removing a module or even powering down the system. New firmware revisions
can be uploaded into the XP4000 Series through the serial port. The latest
firmware revisions are available to all users through Technical Support or via
the internet.
Since the XP Series units are component based products, all modules are field-
replaceable plug-in boards. They can be added or replaced without
disassembling or even powering down the switch or attached computers. This
capability makes installation, configuration and maintenance much simpler.
The "Keep Alive" capability of the XP Series allows attached computers to power
the computer modules in the event of a power failure. Keeping the modules
powered up in an emergency prevents the computers from locking up needlessly.
The optional ReBoot xP allows you to control the power to computers in your
XP Series system individually. No matter where a system computer is located,
you can cycle the power, or “reboot”, an attached computer from your XP
Series unit.

Other manufacturers' mice generally operate with the XP Series. If you
experienceproblemsusinganuntestedmouse,contact CybexTechnical Support
with the manufacturer and model number of the mouse.
Monitors at all consoles must be capable of synchronizing with any attached
computer’s video rate. If you are unsure whether your monitors are of the
multisync type, consult the monitor documentation or contact your dealer.
Use only Cybex supplied cable with the XP Series. Poorly constructed or
miswired cabling will diminish video quality and possibly damage equipment.
Cybex warranties do not apply to damage resulting from user supplied cables.
The XP4000 Series supports all externally powered speakers using 3.5 mm
miniplugs. Use powered speakers with the XP Series for best performance.
The XP4000 Series supports “mono” microphones with 3.5 mm miniplugs.
Powered microphones are not recommended; if a computer channel is selected
that supplies power to the microphones, the microphone volume may be muted
on that channel.
The XP4000 Series supports RS-232 serial devices using hardware or inband
flow control: hardware up to 9600 Baud, inband to 115200 Baud.

Safety
Precautions
To avoid potential video or keyboard problems when using Cybex
products:
• If the building has 3-phase AC power, ensure that the computer and
monitor are on the same phase. For best results, they should be on the
same circuit.
• Use only Cybex-supplied cable. Cybex warranties do not apply to dam-
age resulting from user-supplied cable.
To avoid potentially fatal shock hazard and possible damage to
equipment, please observe the following precautions:
• Do not use a 2-wire extension cord in any Cybex product configuration.
• Test AC outlets at computer and monitor for proper polarity and grounding.
• Use only with grounded outlets at both the computer and monitor. When
using a backup power supply (UPS), power the computer, the monitor
and the XP4000 Series unit off the supply.
• With the exception of adding or removing original Cybex manufactured
modules in accordance with written Cybex instructions, the XP4000 Series
unit and all attached computers should be powered down before servicing
the unit. Always disconnect the power cord from the unit.
Note: The AC inlet is the main disconnect.
Rack Mount Safety Considerations
• Elevated Ambient Temperature: If installed in a closed rack assembly,
the operation temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Use care not to exceed the rated maximum ambient tem-
perature of the unit.
• Mechanical Loading: Mounting of the equipment in the rack should be
such that a hazardous condition is not achieved due to uneven mechani-
cal loading.
• Circuit Overloading: Consideration should be given to the connection of
the equipment to the supply circuit and the effect that overloading of
circuits might have on overcurrent protection and supply wiring. Con-
sider equipment nameplate ratings for maximum current.
• Reliable Earthing: Reliable earthing of rack mounted equipment should
be maintained. Pay particular attention to supply connections other than
direct connections to the branch circuit (e.g. use of power strips).
Nameplate Rating: This product is rated 100-240 V ac, 50/60 Hz. All com-
ponents except the XP4400 are rated 1.6A (single component power sup-
ply) or 3.2A (dual component power supply). XP4400 is rated at 7 amps.

panel of your XP4000 Series unit or the user interface cable for your XPLU
or XP U card. No additional cables are required.
Any platform's keyboard and mouse can be plugged into the local console in
any combination. However, do not connect more than one keyboard, monitor
or mouse into the front of the unit. For example, you may use a Macintosh
mouse and a Sun keyboard at the workstation at the same time but you cannot
connect two keyboards or two mice into the front of the unit simultaneously.

connectors: two small connectors for a microphone and speakers, and a 9-
pin D-shaped serial connector for a serial port. The microphone connector
is denoted by a blue band around its cable. Plug your peripheral connec-
tors into the matching connectors on the user interface cable.
3. Attach the user interface cable to the unit by plugging the 62-pin connec-
tor into the rear of any available secondary console module. Ensure that
the connector is firmly seated, then tighten the thumbscrews.
NOTE: You may use your Sun monitor with an XP4000 Series unit if it will
function with all of your attached computers/workstations. See ‘Using Non-
multisync Monitors’ later in this chapter.
