In an Extender system, these are the basics of how attachment and control work…
» Control a primary PC CPU from a primary
control station (keyboard, monitor,
and mouse) across as much as 200 m (655 ft.)
of Category 5 cable.
» You can also attach a local CPU that
the primary station can switch to.
» And you can attach a local station that shares
the primary CPU.
» Carries and switches stereo audio
and microphone signals.
» Carries RS-232 signals.
» Supports video resolutions up to 1600 x 1280.
» Optional password protection.
FEATURES
There are a lot of gizmos around that do keyboard/video/mouse
extension. But how many of them also extend audio and serial
signals? How many also support switching to a local CPU, or
contention with a local control station? How about support for
password security and video resolutions up to 1600 x 1280? How
many are the size of a pair of small books? And how many come
with virtually every cable and adapter you’ll need to make all your
connections?
The ServSwitch
™
Wizard Multimedia KVM Extender does all this
and more. Attach a primary IBM
®
compatible computer CPU to the
Extender’s “Unit A.” Then plug a primary keyboard/ monitor/mouse

control station into its “Unit B.” Then run as much as 200 meters
(655 ft.) of Category 5 or higher-rated unshielded twisted-pair cabling
between the two Units, and your basic extension system is ready
to go.
If your computer has audio-input and audio-output ports, you can
attach either of these to Unit A as well, and use a microphone and/or
a pair of stereo speakers or headphones plugged into Unit B to
communicate with them.
If you connect a local CPU to Unit B, users at the primary control
station will be able to switch between that CPU at their site in
addition to the distant primary CPU. And if you connect a local control
