Interface Compatibility

•PS/2 Keyboard: Compatible with all standard keyboards. Certain keyboards with enhanced features may also be supported with custom firmware.

•PS/2 Mouse: Compatible with all standard 2-button, 3-button and wheel mice. To connect to a PC which does not have a PS/2 mouse port, an active serial converter is required – Model No: AC244A.

•Audio: Input and output are line-level. Amplified speakers are required. A micro- phone may be directly connected to the Remote unit (optional pre-amplification).

•Serial: Transparent up to 19.2K Baud (38.4K operation may be possible with some

devices). The following serial signals are extended: TX, RX, RTS, CTS, DTR, DSR. In rare cases, a wiring adaptor may be required to transfer RI and DCD.

•Video: VGA to UXGA. Separate sync, composite sync, or sync-on-green. Maximum resolution and refresh rates depend on cable length and cable type (see Appendix G: Specifications, page 61).
