System Introduction
Thank you for choosing UltraLink 2 DVI (Part # UL2-DVI) from Rose Electronics for your network access
solutions. This intelligent and innovative product is the result of Rose Electronics commitment to providing
state of the art switching solutions for today’s demanding workplace. The UL2-DVI, when installed and
connected to your network, allows you full access and control of the connected computer from the built-in
viewer client or any web browser from almost anywhere. This small, flexible, and powerful product uses Real
VNC client software that is designed for very secure, encrypted, and password protected exchange of
information between the server and the remote viewer.
The UL2-DVI sets a new standard for an easy and extremely secure way to remotely manage server room
environments, remote standalone applications such as digital signage, and many other remote applications.
Connect the UL2-DVI to a DVI/USB KVM switch like the Vista DVI Plus, and you now have access and control
to as many computers as your KVM switching system can support.
The UL2-DVI is different in the way it manages remote access to your systems. All of the systems that will be
remotely connected remain completely unchanged and can run their usual operating system normally. They
only need to be connected to the UL2-DVI unit. Being totally operating system independent, the UL2-DVI
allows users to remotely connect to Windows, Linux, UNIX, Sun, and even DOS systems without difficulty. The
UL2-DVI is ideal for remote computers running stand-alone applications like ATMs and digital signage devices.
Whatever your remote accessing needs are, the versatility of the UL2-DVI from Rose Electronics can fulfill
those needs. It can be installed at any network level, and connected to a single server, a computer running
any operating system, or to a KVM switch.
For the majority of applications, the UL2-DVI does not require an external AC power adapter. It can obtain its
power from two USB ports on the connected computer or switch. A power adapter is needed if two USB ports
which supply +5V are not available on the connected device.
