Description DL-MUX
With DL-MUX4 KVM switches, you can operate
4 computers over 1 user console.
The DL-MUX4 switches the following signals:
- Keyboard/mouse
- Dual-link DVI and VGA
- Audio
- USB 2.0
The device is available in variants transmitting 1, 2, 3, or 4 video channels.
With its network connection, the web interface and DLM monitoring, the DL-MUX4 provides numerous features for mission-critical applications.
A working system consists of one DL-MUX4 and the required computer connection cable sets.
The DL-MUX4 MC2 is qualified for the Tempest certification
(Zone 1 / SDIP 27 Level B (ER))

- Single- and multi-channel variants
- Supports Barco PVS graphics cards
- DVI dual-link 330 Mbps
Signals
- Supports PS/2 and USB keyboard/mouse
- Switches audio and transparent USB 2.0 signals
Network / Communication / Safety
- Two network ports
- Configuration over web interface
- Monitoring over SNMP and web interface
- Reports device conditions (temperature, voltage, computer status etc.)
- Identification LED for locating the device in complex installations
- Redundant power supply
- Logbook: electronic notes regarding the device; can be exported as .csv file

DLM monitoring function
The integrated DLM-Monitoring auto-transmits device status messages to syslog servers or sends them as SNMP. Manual monitoring is carried out over the web interface.
The DL-MUX monitoring function queries the following values:
- Power supplies (on/off)
- Temperature limit (above/below average)
- Connection cable (interrupted/uninterrupted)
- Computer (on/off)
- DVI video input (available/not available)
- Access settings (set preferences)
The DLM-Monitoring enables proactive monitoring instead of reactive
maintenance.
Variants
Design
- Available as desktop (DT) or rack mount (RM) variant
Video channels
- Single-Channel, MC2, MC3, MC4
Expansion
DevCon Support
The DL-MUX supports network based communication with the appliance
DevCon-Center. With the DevCon-Center, you can monitor and configure multiple DL-MUX devices centrally.
Installation
Connect the computer to the back side of the devices. Standard cables link keyboard, video, mouse, audio, and USB interfaces to the switch.
Cable length of PS/2 cable sets: 2 m, 5 m
Cable length of USB cable sets: 2 m, 5 m
For installing the user console simply connect keyboard, monitor, mouse, speakers, and USB devices to the intended interface.
Feel free to download the DL-MUX manual to find out more details about the start-up.
