OVERVIEW

2. Overview

2.1 Introduction

TheServSwitch™ Brand CAT5 KVM Extender products described in this manual enable

high-resolution video, PS/2 keyboard and mouse or SUN keyboard, and serial port signals to

be communicated up to 300m over Category 5/5e (CATx) cable.

A basic KVM extension system comprises a Local Unit (transmitter) and a Remote Unit

(receiver). The Local Unit connects directly to the computer (or a KVM switch system) using

the supplied cable(s). The user console (keyboard, mouse and monitor) attaches to the

Remote Unit. The Remote and Local Units communicate video and data information along

the connecting CAT5/5e cable (see Figure 1).

Within the product range, models are available with combinations of the following:

• Serial transmission: serial COM port for asynchronous RS232 devices operating at 1200,

9600 or 19,200 bps (8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit).

• Dual access: allowing a second user console at the Local Unit.
