CATCenter NEO 7.2 VGA KVM Matrix Switches Computer modules The CATpro2 computer modules connect the computer‘s external keyboard, video, mouse, and audio interfaces with the matrix switch system. The CATpro2 modules combine signals, process them, and use CAT cables to transmit said signals to the KVM matrix switch. Each CATpro2 has a unique ID helping you locate the device within a matrix switch system.

CATCenter NEO 7.2 VGA KVM Matrix Switches Operation / Configuration The CATCenter Neo system is operated/configured via: • • • • OSD + hotkeys web interface KVM-IP client (only for UCON-IP-NEO) UCON-IP web interface (only for UCON-IP-NEO) OSD and hotkeys are available on all UCON user modules and ensure fast, clearly arranged and easy operation across the entire system.
CATCenter NEO 7.2 VGA KVM Matrix Switches Web interface The web-based „Config Panel“ application offers a clearly arranged graphical user interface to configure the Matrix Switches The Config Panel is divided into several sections.
CATCenter NEO 7.2 VGA KVM Matrix Switches KVM-IP-Client KVM IP clients enable the user fast and stable remote access to the servers connected to the matrix switches. The connection is either established using the external UCON-IP-NEO user console or the integrated KVM IP port of the CompactCenter. In order to establish an IP session, a native client (Windows, GNU/Linux) is installed on a client computer or the JAVA client is activated in the web interface of the devices.

CATCenter NEO 7.2 VGA KVM Matrix Switches Hardware / Expansions • increasing the number of consoles with UC products - CATpro2-UC (double the number of consoles, applicable for backup systems) - UserCenter CAT8 (multiply number of consoles by eight) Any hardware components are connected to the CATCenter NEO and thus fully integrated into operation. Now, e.g. power-switching can be carried out in the OSD.
CATCenter NEO 7.2 VGA KVM Matrix Switches more consoles UC products come in handy if the number of consoles exceeds the number of available ports at the device. The consoles can be expanded by placing UC products between computers and CATCenter Neo. UC variants are employed instead of - or, when combined with the UserCenter CAT8-Audio, in addition to - CATpro2 computer modules.

CATCenter NEO 7.2 VGA KVM Matrix Switches more range NEO-FiberLink expansions increase the system range within a CATCenter Neo cluster to up to 10,000 m. The system consists of the TX module (slave side) and the RX module (to CATCenter NEO). The signals are transmitted via multimode (50/125μm and 62,5/125μ) or singlemode (9/125μm) fibre optics (two fibres). The pair of Neo-FiberLink devices is placed between two CATCenter Neo (master + slave or slave 1 + slave 2).
