DUAL MONITOR A 6 1 Overview Axel terminals do not have two monitor connectors so to maximize flexibility and our customer s investment in existing hardware we provide a firmware upgrade that essentially partners two existing terminals The first terminal the Master controls the left screen controls the keyboard and mouse and connection back to the server The second terminal the Slave invisibly manages the right screen Note There is an option to position the screens vertically upper and lower for kiosk type applications Any combination of M80 FK56 and M85 FK51 FK52 terminals can be used for dual monitor Note the M80F FK55 can be only associated with another M80F The slave does not need a keyboard and is totally driven by the master Any changes made to the master for example changing the resolution are automatically propagated to the slave AX3000 User s Manual 273 Appendix AXEL Dual monitor is supported on all RDP and ICA type connections including VDI The master alone makes the connection to the server so only one connection is seen from the server Note This method provides proper full dual screen support ie if an application is maximized it will snap to fill its single screen ie not both screens as do some implementations Also the Windows task bar is only displayed on the master OF e 2 EI SS RDP ICA Connection Synchronization Ethernet N
