CHAPTER 3: Introduction

3.2 Key Features

The ServSwitch Brand CAT5 KVM Micro Extender has a number of useful features which contribute to the transparent remote operation of your PC. Some of the more important ones are:

•Distance up to 50 m (160 ft.)

Operate your PC from the next room or all the way down the hall.

•Adjustable video equalization

Compensates for the loss of image quality caused by the signal passing through more than 25 m (80 ft.) of cable.

•Fully buffered signals

Remote operation of the PC is consistently smooth and transparent.

•Intelligent PS/2 keyboard and mouse emulation

With this, the PC boots and operates correctly under most circumstances, and you can freely detach and reconnect the keyboard and mouse as necessary (the Micro Extender automatically initializes the keyboard and mouse as soon as it detects that you’ve reattached them).

•Microsoft IntelliMouse compatibility

Use this and compatible “wheel mice” with confidence. In a Dual-Access (ACU3009A) system, you can even use a standard PS/2 mouse at one of the PC’s user stations and an IntelliMouse at the other.

•Dual-Access model also supports a local station

With the Dual-Access (ACU3009A) model, you can operate the PC either locally or remotely (but not both at the same time).

•KVM/Serial/Audio systems only: Support for serial and audio peripherals With the KVM/Serial/Audio Micro Extender (ACU3022A), you can connect almost any RS-232 device that can communicate at 19,200 bps or less, as well as almost any standard audio device or sound card.

We recommend that you read the remainder of this manual before you install the Micro Extender in order to fully familiarize yourself with the system.
