FEATURES
The ServSelect
III makes it easy for 2 users to access and switch
between up to 8 or 16 servers from a PS/2 console. Plus the
KV22016A-R2 also works with USB consoles. Just cascade multiple
ServSelect III units to add even more servers. In a cascaded setup,
2 users can access up to 128 servers (with multiple 8-port models)
or as many as 256 servers (with a string of 16-port switches).
The ServSelect III uses a Server Access Module (SAM) or low-cost,
nonflashable ServSelect III Cable to connect to the server or other
target device. The SAMs and cables provide keyboard, video,
and mouse connectivity, and enable you to connect the switch to
servers with PS/2 or USB connectors, or to devices with serial
connectors.
The distance between the ServSelect III and the servers determines
whether you use the ServSelect III Cable or the SAMs. To connect
to servers less than 15 feet (4.6 m) away, order the cables. These thin
integrated cables save you equipment space at both the switch
and the server. But if your servers or devices are more than 15 feet
(4.6 m) away, you’ll need the SAMs.
Each ServSelect III Cable or ServSelect SAM features built-in
memory to simplify configuration by assigning and retaining unique
server names and electronic IDs (EIDs) for each attached server.
It‘s powered from the server and stays powered even if the ServSelect
III is powered off.
OVERVIEW
If you use the SAMs for server connections, you’ll also need CAT5
cable to link them to your ServSelect III. All ServSelect SAMs are flash
upgradable to keep your system up to date.
We even carry an adapter that enables you to connect
the ServSelect III to older Sun
units (via the USB style ServSelect III
Cables or ServSelect SAM).
GUI capabilities.
ServSelect IIIs graphical user interface (GUI) is one of the simplest
ever to use—and one of the most versatile, too.
Start with the way you configure your system and how
you identify servers. ServSelect IIIs menus enable you to identify
servers by unique name, ID number, or port number.
You select individual servers using these operational modes:
broadcast, scan, and switch.
In broadcast mode, you can simultaneously control more than one
server in a system to send identical input to all selected servers.
You can even broadcast keystrokes and/or mouse movements
independently.
In scan mode, automatically scan from server port to server port.
In this way, you can scan up to 16 servers. Add servers to the scan list,
remove them, or start the scan mode via the software interface.
In switch mode, you can connect to servers using preemptive
or cooperative methods. Select preemptive mode to allow any user
to select any server at any time. A request from another user
