CHAPTER 1 GENERAL INFORMATION
1.1Overview
The Hawkeye is an ideal solution for network administration with multiple servers / platforms. Their 15-inch large size TFT LCD color display and ultra-low-profile compact industrial keyboard / trackball provide the user-friendliest and most reliable environment for network administrators. All these functions are integrated in a 19-inch 1U space with rugged construction design to achieve ultra space saving and high reliability for high quality industrial/network applications.
The built-in KVM switch of the RPD-1158 enables easy accessibility to 8 servers / platforms and supports PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and DB15 VGA with eight DB25 connectors. By cascading function, it can connect up to 512 computers or servers.
The Hawkeye monitor / keyboard drawers provide superior picture quality and state-of-the-art features mounted in an industrial grade, rack mount drawer. The drawer forms a rugged enclosure that protects the monitor from industrial hazards and permits easy access to monitor controls.
The Hawkeye monitors provide flicker-free color images at optimal resolutions. The monitors’ 0.297mm pixel pitch ensures crisp images with clear definition, even at high resolutions. The Hawkeye monitors are intelligent, microprocessor-based, and have an ergonomically designed display.
The Hawkeye monitors employ the latest in active matrix thin film transistor (TFT) technology, providing crisp screen images and wide viewing angles. Unlike CRT monitors, LCD monitors are inherently immune to the magnetic fields commonly found on the plant floor or communications centers. LCDs are also typically brighter than conventional CRT technology, making them ideal for the high ambient lighting conditions found in many of today's factory environments. On-screen menus allow for display adjustments. In addition, the monitors' Plug-n-Play+ features support Windows 95/98 and NT, while a universal power supply ensures global applicability.
The Hawkeye monitors are compatible with most analog RGB (red, green, blue) display standards, including PS/V, PS/2, optional for Apple Macintosh Centris, Quadra, and Macintosh II family signals. The LCD monitor is capable of displaying crisp and vibrant color graphics with VGA, SVGA, XGA (non-interlaced), and most Macintosh compatible color video cards.
