1.0 Matrix-Hub System Overview
The Matrix-Hub Series 1000 is a matrix switch for the entire desktop. The switch
may route video, keyboard/mouse, and serial connections using an integrated
user interface. Each type of connection may be individually managed or may be
integrated to operate with one or both of the other connection types. The primary
function of the device is to permit up to ten attached users or destinations to gain
access to up to ten computers or sources. When used with the VDE/200
extension system from Lightwave, a versatile and highly flexible topology may be
created to maximize the effectiveness of both creative and high-performance
computer resources.
The Series 1000 chassis features redundant power supplies with separate AC
inputs, on-board cooling fans, and an electroluminescent display for easy access
to Matrix-Hub diagnostic and connection activity displays.
Each customer may decide how and by whom the Matrix-Hub will be controlled.
The matrix switchis controlled through a DB9 serial connector that may be
connected to a network, an attached server, an industry-standard controller (i.e.,
Dataton), or a plain ASCII terminal. The switch is capable of routing RGB video
signals to any number of destinations simultaneously, while keyboard/mouse and
serial signals are routed to single destinations only.
The Matrix-Hub Series 1000 may be configured according to customer
requirements. Each card type (video input and output, keyboard/mouse input
and output, and serial input and output) has five external ports per card. There
may be a maximum of two of each card for video input, keyboard/mouse input,
video output, and keyboard/mouse output. Serial cards can be combined in any
combination to fill the four chassis slots available for serial cards (i.e., a chassis
may have up to three serial input and one serial output cards, two input and two
output cards, or one input and three output cards).
The manual covers the card types, as well as the use of the front panel display,
the user interface, and the physical components of the chassis. Use of third-
party equipment is not covered in this manual.

2.0 Matrix-Hub Components
Each Series 1000 chassis consists of a metal enclosure, an electroluminescent
display, cooling fans, redundant power supplies with separate AC inputs, a
control card, three switch cards, and the user-specified signal input and output
cards.
The chassis is rack-mountable using the flanges on the front of the unit. If the
unit is to be rack-mounted, it is recommended that the rear of the unit is
supported within the rack using support brackets (available from Lightwave), and
allowance is made for adequate ventilation through the unit. The chassis may
also be used as a stand-alone unit, and is shipped with rubber feet attached to
allow airflow through the bottom of the unit when placed on a surface.
The electroluminescent front panel display allows access to the Matrix-Hub’s
internal diagnostic and connection displays (see section 7.0, Electroluminescent
Display).
The Series 1000 has redundant power supplies with separate AC inputs. Each
power supply is a set of two individual power supplies that provides separate
+5VDC and –5VDC. In ordinary operation, the two power supply sets share the
electrical current load equally. However, when one set fails, the other set can
provide all power for the unit. If the separate AC inputs are connected to
different AC sources, then the Matrix-Hub will not fail if one AC source fails. The
power supplies report their status through the front panel display and through the
user interface.

Power Supplies –Series 1000 Chassis
Front pair provides +5 VDC
Rear pair provides –5 VDC
Every chassis has three switch cards. Each switch card handles one element of
video signals (red, green, or blue), and two of the switch cards also handle
keyboard and mouse signals (serial signals are switched internally by the serial
cards and are not routed through the switch cards). All switch cards have a
temperature sensor that may be read through the front panel display or through
the user interface.
There is one control card in every chassis. The control card coordinates actions
within the chassis and provides a serial port for user interface and control.
Several attributes of the Matrix-Hub are user-defined and may be set using the
control card (see Appendix A, Control Card Settings).
The user-specified input and output cards allow individual users to access
computer resources through the matrix switch. One video input may be routed to
one or more video outputs, but keyboard/mouse and serial inputs may only be
routed to one output at a time. Inputs may be switched to outputs in whatever
groups of video, keyboard/mouse, and serial are required by the user.

2.1 Adding and Removing Cards
Matrix-Hub cards may be purchased separately at any time to expand the
capacity or change the functionality of an existing unit. The user may add or
remove cards in the field quite easily, allowing for great flexibility of existing
systems.
All Matrix-Hub cards may be hot-swapped. It is not necessary to power-down the
unit when adding or removing cards.
When removing a card, use the two black plastic ejectors located at the topand
bottom of each card to help pull the card out of its slot. Push the tabs apart
vertically, and they will lever the card back out of its slot. The card may then be
slid out. If removing a switch card, be sure to first loosen the screws located
inside the metal frame attaching the plastic ejector tabs to the card. Loosen the
screws until the threads disengage from the chassis, but do not entirely remove
the screws from the card.
5
Switch Card Screws (Inside Top Ejectors)
When adding a card, first remove the blank panel covering the card slot by
loosening the screws located at the top and bottom of the panel. Insert the card
into the empty slot being sure to slide the card into the guides on the top and
bottom of the chassis. Push the card all the way in until the black plastic tabs
engage the edge rails on the top and bottom. Push the plastic ejector tabs
together vertically so the card is levered in to the slot and is firmly seated. If
resistance is encountered, removing an adjacent card and inserting both
simultaneously will often reduce the force required.
All cards for the Series 1000 have metal key tabs protruding along their inside
edge near the backplane connectors. These tabs prevent the insertion of
keyboard/mouse, serial, or control cards into slots designated for video or switch
cards. Video and switch cards require higher voltage than the other cards, so
accidental insertion of another card type into a video or switch slot would damage
that card.

2.2 Replacing Failed Power Supplies
If a power supply fails in a unit, it may be replaced in the field if necessary. Be
sure the failure is not due to a damaged power cord or a faulty outlet. The power
supplies are NOT hot swappable. Contact Lightwave Communications for more
instructions if the power supply must be replaced.

3.0 Video Cards
Video Input, Part Number 400.100.1001
Video Output, Part Number 400.100.1002
Video input cards (part number 400.100.1001) and video output cards (part
number 400.100.1002) are located in the four slots immediately surrounding the
switch cards, two to each side. The input cards are located to the left, while
output cards are located to the right. Ports are numbered from 1 to 10, starting at
the top outermost port, and ending at the bottom innermost port.
