Introduction

Thank you for choosing the ServSwitch CX Uno IP from Black Box. This compact unit has been created to allow a single operator to take full control of many computer systems.

Like the other models within the highly successful ServSwitch CX Uno family, this unit takes full advantage of category 5, 5e or 6 structured cabling to provide flexible installation and configuration. Every connected computer is linked by up to ten metres of standard CATx cable and one of five types of SAM (Server Access Module) according to the port arrangements on each computer.

The ServSwitch CX Uno IP is available in two sizes, supporting eight or sixteen computers respectively. These numbers can be increased at any time thanks to the ability to connect ServSwitch CX Uno IP units in cascade to provide a much larger network of controlled computers. Both models provide full enterprise level security to restrict access to authorized personnel.

Optional power switch control allows you to remotely perform a hard reset on any host system, no matter how badly it has locked up.

In addition to the local user console, the ServSwitch CX Uno IP units provide true global control for the multiple host systems. Up to four global users can share access to a computer from anywhere via an IP network/internet connection using a Real VNC client application. Each ServSwitch CX Uno IP is even able to provide the VNC application to each global user, either as a standalone application or as a Java applet within a standard internet browser.

Many computers

ServSwitch CX Uno IP units can directly support either 8 or 16 computer systems. Multiple ServSwitch CX Uno units can also be cascaded onto the original unit to support a maximum of 256 computers.

Each system is linked using a Server Access Module (SAM) and category 5, 5e or 6 cabling to a maximum distance of 10m (32 ft) from the ServSwitch CX Uno IP unit.
