2.1 Features and Benefits

Some useful features of the Extender:

•Enables a keyboard, monitor, and mouse to be located up to 200 meters

(655 ft.) of UTP or 100 meters (330 ft.) of STP from a computer or KVM switch.

•Uses a single Category 5 (or better) twisted-pair cable to carry all the keyboard, video, and mouse signals.

•Compatible with ServSwitch Wizard, ServSwitch Duo, and ServSwitch Quadro KVM switches, so it can meet a wide range of KVM-switching and -extension requirements.

•Supports high-bandwidth monitors at resolutions up to 1600 x 1280.

•Includes CPU-connection cable for easy installation.

•Transmitters and receivers may be neatly rackmounted in a standard

19" equipment rack using the Extender Chassis. Other Extender-compatible products such as the Chassis Power Supply and Skew Compensator may also be mounted in this chassis. Each 2U-high chassis will house up to 16 local or remote modules.

•Supports Microsoft® IntelliMouse®, IntelliMouse Explorer, and other common wheel mice.

•Fine user-adjustable video compensation enables the video quality to be maximized for any given length of cable. Supports automatic and manual video compensation.

•In manual compensation mode, the video compensation only needs to be adjusted once during setup. The chosen compensation setting is retained in EEPROM memory even when the Extender is powered off.

•In automatic compensation mode, the video compensation will be automatically adjusted every time that the Extender is powered on or reset.

•Keyboard data is kept in its native format, which ensures that the additional keys on enhanced keyboards are supported.

•Password security prevents unauthorized use.

•Supports keyboard modes 1, 2, and 3 and “prompt” and “stream” mouse modes for maximum compatibility.
