The ViewLink™ Coax Advantage . . .
The ViewLink™ allows you to extend your keyboard,
monitor, and mouse up to 250 feet away.
ViewLink comes in a kit that includes a transmitter and
receiver, keyboard and CPU cabling and a power
transformer (if required). ViewLink units are connected by
coax cable which is ordered separately.
ViewLink is a small, convenient, and extremely versatile
extension unit. In addition to extending your KVM away
from your computer, you can use ViewLink to connect a
computer to a Rose switch, a switch to a keyboard,
monitor, and mouse, or you can connect a Rose switch to
a Rose switch.
Since the ViewLink attaches directly to the DB25 port on
any Rose switch, it is a convenient method to extend
either the computer or KVM port of a Rose switch.
Please also check out our CrystalView which extends your
KVM up to 1000 feet from your computer using twisted
pair cable or 33,000 feet using fiber. Give us a call to
discuss your extension application.

Typical Application
ViewLink Models The ViewLink is available for PC/UNIX,
Apple, or Sun. The ViewLink units consist of a receiver and
transmitter that connect to each other with a link cable. This
cable is purchased separately and is required for installation.
Installation ViewLink units work in pairs and can be
thought of as a transmitter unit and a receiver unit connected
by a single cable. Each unit plugs into one end of the
equipment to be interconnected. The two units are then
connected with a link cable. The ViewLink extender units are
truly plug-and-play. Once connected to the equipment, the
extender system acts like a regular cable. There are no user
installation steps other than connecting the units.
Operation The LED on the side of the unit lights when the
ViewLink is receiving power. When used with Rose switches
which indicate CPU power on the front of the switch, the
power state of the CPU is passed through correctly, regardless
of whether the ViewLink is powered on or not.
