OVERVIEW

2.5Compatibility

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 that does not have a PS/2 mouse port, an active serial converter is required - Model: AC244A.

Audio: Input and output are line-level. Amplified speakers are required. A microphone 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 SXGA. Separate sync, composite sync, or sync-on-green. Maximum resolution and refresh rates depend on cable length and cable type (see Appendix F: Specifications, page 50).

Extender Compatibility

You can use ServSwitch™ Brand products belonging to the same family in any combination. However, it is not possible to mix Standard and Audio products within a system.
