ServSwitch
™
DKM/DKM FX switching system a milestone
in innovative KVM switching.
ServSwitch DKM is a scalable matrix switch that supports
DVI-D and transmits USB Human Interface Device (HID),
transparent USB 2.0, analog or digital stereo audio, and serial
RS-232 signals. Options for SDI and analog video complete
the interface portfolio.
Users and computers can easily be added to this flexible
system through the DKM KVM Extender units. Extend KVM
signals up to 460 feet (140 m) over CATx, up to 400 meters
(1312.3 ft.) over multimode fiber, or up to 1000 meters (3280
ft.) over single-mode fiber — all with no losses in video quality.
Certain modes of the single-head KVM switching
supportatransparentserialinterfaceatupto19kbps
and hardware handshaking. Use it to control a single device
requiring full hardware handshaking or up to three devices
without handshaking. In dual-head mode, devices support
TxD and RxD only, with no hardware handshaking.
The ServSwitch DKM features hotkey controls and an on-
screen display (OSD). Use the OSD to name connected devices
and configure the system. A front-panel display with remote
control is also available. Switching can be done remotely via
the RS-232 serial interface, hotkeys, the OSD, or the TCP/IP
interface.
For ultimate plug-and-play support, ServSwitch DKM/
DKM FX has DDC read capability to receive true EDID infor-
mation from the attached displays. The digital ServSwitch
DKM does not need skew compensation like analog KVM
switches do; the maximum video resolution is supported
over the full distance.
Setup and Operation Modes
You can configure the ServSwitch DKM DVI-D KVM Switch
in several ways. Connect the switch to CATx or fiber cabling,
which then connects to the CPU/server with a local transmitter
and, on the other side, connects to a receiver (user station)
supporting USB keyboard/mouse, up to four DVI-D monitors
plus various user peripherals. With the included software,
the ServSwitch DKM and DKM FX enable a very convenient
remote configuration and management.
