ViewLink Micro-Mini CATx KVM extender basics The
ViewLink Micro-Mini CATx system consists of a transmitter unit that
connects to the video, keyboard, and mouse ports on a PC, server, or
to a KVM switch. The receiver unit connects to a keyboard, monitor,
and mouse. The transmitter and receiver units are connected together
with up to 1,000 feet of standard CATx cable.
When you initialize the extender, it automatically senses the cable
distance between the receiver and transmitter units, automatically
adjusts the gain, and sets up everything for you. There are keyboard
commands that allow you to fine tune the video, but they are rarely
needed.
The auto-skew models will automatically adjust the RGB video
components to product a crystal clear display through patch panels
and different cable types.
The ideal environment for the extender is to connect the transmitter
unit to a Rose Electronics KVM switch. Expanding the switch allows
access to 1,000 computers or servers.
Installation Installation is as easy as connecting the KVM station to
the receiver, a computer to the transmitter unit, and connecting the
receiver and transmitter units together with CATx cable.
Models The ViewLink Micro-Mini KVM extender is available in a
PS/2, USB, PS/2 & USB to PS/2, PS/2 & USB to USB, and a Video only
model.
Keyboard and mouse emulation The ViewLink Micro-Mini
KVM extender uses a microprocessor to emulate the keyboard and
mouse. This means that the keyboard and mouse on the receiver unit
does not have to be connected for the PC to boot. Only the
transmitter unit must be connected to the PC.
