5. Calibrate All option if possible remove on screen display OSD elements generated by any connected KVM switches such as a host name label or menu These OSD elements use different video rates to those of the host system s and can affect the setting of the automatic threshold value UltraLink 2 uses an improved calculation procedure to filter out the effect of these elements However best results are obtained when the screen contains only host system information Note To maximize performance the threshold level is automatically increased by 50 when a slow link is detected Note If the UltraLink 2 is used with one or more KVM switches the threshold needs to be higher than 32 due to the significant amounts of noise that these switches introduce The UltraLink 2 configuration should detect such noise and adjust the threshold accordingly Setting the Threshold manually Occasionally it can be useful to manually adjust the Threshold setting in order to achieve a setting that best suits your particular requirements 1 Use the Calibrate All function to ensure that all other settings are optimized 2 Click the Threshold left arrow button to decrement the setting by one and observe the Display Activity indicator 3 Repeat step 2 until the Display Activity indicator suddenly rises to a much higher level i e 50 This will mean that you have reached the noise boundary At this point increment the Threshold value by 2

20. 1 would all be treated in the same manner When defining a mask the important rule to remember is there must be no ones to the right of a zero For instance ignoring the first three octets you could not use a mask that had 11100110 because this would affect intermittent addresses within a range in an impractical manner The same rule applies across the octets For example if you have zeroes in the third octet then all of the fourth octet must be zeroes The permissible mask values for all octets are as follows Mask octet Binary Number of addresses encompassed 255 111111117 address 254 111111102 addresses 252 111111004 addresses 248 111110008 addresses 240 1111000016 addresses 224 1110000032 addresses 192 1100000064 addresses 128 10000000128 addresses 0 00000000256 addresses If the access control range that you need to define is not possible using one address and one mask then you could break it down into two or more entries Each of these entries could then use smaller ranges of differing sizes that when combined with the other entries cover the range that you require For instance to accurately encompass the range in the earlier example 192 168 142 67 to 192 168 142 93 You would need to define the following six address and mask combinations in the IP access control section UltraLink 2 Installation and Operations Manual CN Network address entry 192 168 142 67 255 255 255 255 Mask entry
