Network Technologies CAT5 operation manual Introduction, Materials

INTRODUCTION

The PRIMUX CAT5 KVM System (PRIMUX) is designed to enable the relocation of a VGA monitor, PS/2 or USB keyboard, and mouse from up to 64 PS/2, SUN, or USB CPUs by as much as 1000 feet. The PRIMUX is comprised of one PRIMUX-UZR User Station and at least one Host Adapter (HA-PS2, HA-USB, or HA-SUN) connected to a CPU to be controlled by the user. The PRIMUX-UZR User Station supports PS/2 and USB user keyboard and mouse (devices). This manual describes the installation and use of both components.

The PRIMUX Host Adapter and User Station are interconnected with either CAT5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, CAT5e cable, or CAT6 cable.

The PRIMUX Series CAT5 KVM System is extremely simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance. Through the use of CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system. Here are some of the features and ways this can benefit any workplace:

•Allows the placement of a monitor, keyboard, and mouse in a location where only these parts are needed without having the CPU there too, taking up valuable space

•Allows any PS/2, USB, or SUN CPU to be accessed by a remote user (up to 1000 feet away)

•Additional RJ45 port on the Host Adapter allows the daisy-chaining of up to 64 Host Adapters providing user access to up to 64 CPUs

•Control up to 64 CPUs from one keyboard, mouse, and monitor without "spaghetti" wiring

•Compatible with XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems

•Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1024x768 /60Hz @ 1000 feet (using CAT5 UTP cable- see pg 35 for details)

•Video quality adjustment is automatic providing optimum image quality

•Allows for future expansion- buy what is needed now, add more later as desired
