OVERVIEW

System Overview

The UltraMatrix switch is designed with the latest in KVM switching technology. It has the capability and flexibility to configure to most keyboards, video monitors, mice, servers and computers. The modular design of the UltraMatrix makes the Unit easy to install, expand, and maintain. The addition of an expansion card(s) and additional switches can increase the number of computers that can be connected and accessed to 1,000.

The UltraMatrix series switches are available in several configurations depending on your system switching needs. The “E” series switch is available with 4, 8, or 16 CPU ports and one to four KVM ports.

(See appendix F for KVM station placement and conflicts)

KVM station

A KVM station, consisting of a Keyboard, Video monitor, and Mouse, connects to the DB25F KVM connectors on the rear panel using a KVM adapter cable. The KVM adapter cable is available with a variety of connector types to accommodate the different types of keyboards, video monitors and mice. The KVM adapter cable connectors must be compatible with the keyboard, video monitor, and mouse cable connectors.

KVM adapter cables are available in lengths of 1 – 100 feet. (Refer to the compatibility table on page 3)

KVM Station Keyboard and Mouse

PC Models (EP): Require a PS/2 Keyboard and Mouse.

Multi-platform Models (EE): Can use a PS/2 keyboard and mouse or a Sun Keyboard and Mouse.

Note: When using a PS/2 keyboard, the PS/2 keyboard must be capable of communicating in Mode 2 and Mode 3 if the CPU's are PC Mode 3, USB, SUN, or a Rose Translator is used in conjunction with an Apple computer.

KVM Station Video Monitor

The KVM Station video monitor must be capable of supporting the resolution, frequency, and sync type being sent by all connected computer. It is recommended that the KVM monitor be a multi-sync monitor capable of resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz or better. The quality of the video depends largely on the type of monitor used, the KVM cable length and cable type. For cable lengths greater than 20 feet, coax cable must be used. Appendix I. shows the video quality distance table for different cable types.
