Chapter 1. Getting Started
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Raritan Computer’s MasterConsole SMX.
Introduction
Raritan's keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switches are engineered to provide reliable, cost-
effective, central control of multiple computers. This eliminates the cost and clutter of
unnecessary equipment, reclaims space, and improves productivity for a host of
applications.
SMX is a KVM switch for Sun Microsystems’s Servers and workstations. SMX has three
models: SMX18, SMX28, and SMX416. SMX18 allows 1 user to control up to 8
computers. SMX28 allows up to two simultaneous users to select and operate up to 8
computers. SMX416 allows up to four simultaneous users to select and operate up to 16
computers. Exclusively one user can control each computer at a time. Or if desired, the
SMX28 and SMX416 can be optionally configured to allow sharing of videos among users.
Each user is provided with an On-Screen User Interface (OSUI) menu to facilitate
operation. A LCD display on the SMX front panel continuously displays the status of the
system, and front panel control buttons allow the systems administrator to perform
maintenance functions and define system operation parameters. The firmware program
can be upgraded via a built-in communication port from a Windows 95/98 PC.
Features
• Offering models to connect up to 16 computers and 1 to 4 user consoles
• Allowing 2-tier configurations to accommodate up to 256 computers
• Locate computers, cascaded units, or user consoles (keyboard, monitor, and mouse)
up to 90 feet away from the SMX.
• Easy to install tangle proof, double-shielded coaxial cable in lengths of 2, 6.5, 13, 20,
and 30 feet
• Built in dedicated keyboard and mouse emulators for flawless operation
• Includes keep-alive design to ensure non-stop computer operation in case of power
loss to the switch
• Supports high-resolution video to 1600 x 1280
• Contains a powerful on-screen user interface for simple operation and system
management
• Supports multiple keyboard language types
• Assigns meaningful names to connected computers to select from pop-up, on-screen
menus
• Stores up to 60 user names, each with personalized operating profile and optional
password for security

2
• Contains individual user-controlled functions to AutoSkip inactive channels and to
AutoScan computers at variable rates
• Engineered with multilevel security to ensure authorized access to each computer by
each user
• Offers PublicView video sharing features with several options for users to share video
with follow along and camp-on actions
• Has a front panel LCD display status of user ports
• Available on-site firmware upgrades via built-in RJ11 administration port
• Add on optional 19” rack mount bracket
Quick Installation and test
Chapter 4 provides detail installation procedure. For a quick installation and test of SMX,
perform the following:
1. Plug the power cord into the SMXand turn the power ON.
2. Observe the LCD display on the front panel as the SMX goes through the power on
self-test. When the LCD displays a circulating “Raritan SMX18 [28,416]: Base SMX18
[28,416]” message, the unit is ready.
3. Locate a user console cable, CCSnnF. Plug the DB25 connector to a user port on the
back panel of SMX unit.
4. Plug a user console—keyboard and monitor—into the connectors at the other end of
the user cable.
5. If keyboard in a language other than English is required perform the following steps
prior to proceeding with installation:
a) Login as the user <admin> for the administrator. User names are not case
sensitive. The administrator’s default password in - raritan - typed in lower
case. Passwords are case sensitive.
b) Press <F5> to bring up the Administration Menu.
c) Select Admin Function number one – System Configuration.
d) Press <Tab> (forward) key to move to the KB Language Type.
e) Press <Enter> to edit KB Language Type. Highlighed area will turn green.
f) Use <!>, or <"> keys to toggle to the desired keyboard language.
g) press <Enter> and then <Y> for confirmation to save change. Press <Esc> to
exit without saving change.
h) All user stations will now require a keyboard that matches the language chosen.
6. Login Menu will now be displayed on the monitor. The keyboard’s <Scroll Lock>
LED will be blinking.
7. Enter usera as user name, and press <Enter> to login. A Selection Menu will be
displayed on the monitor.

3
8. Unwrap a computer cable, CCSnn. Plug the DB25 connector to a Channel on the
back panel of SMX unit.
9. Plug the other end of the cable to a Sun’s keyboard/monitor ports (if you have a 15-
pin HD15 video port, you can purchase a Raritan adapter, P/N 1396C, to convert the
13W3 female cable plug to an HD15 male plug).
10. Power on the Sun.
11. The Sun channel on the Selection Menu will turn green.
12. Use the <!> and <"> keys to select the green line, and press <Enter>.
