Specification
Video resolutions - 1600 x 1280 at distances up to 100
metres/330 feet, 1024 x 768 at distances up to 200 metres/650 feet.
Extension distance - Up to 200 metres / 650 feet using
CATx cable (x=5,5e,6,7).
Extension technology - Differential analogue signalling
for video signals, differential digital signalling for PS/2 keyboard, PS/2
mouse, RS232. Signals are multiplexed so that only one CATx cable is required.
Devices supported - Supports PS/2 style keyboard, PS/2
style mouse, flat-screen and CRT style monitors with standard HD-15 video
connectors. Also extends a transparent RS232 connection that may be used
for touch-screens or a wide variety of other serial devices.
Video compensation - Adjustable video compensation amplifiers
enable the video sharpness to be adjusted using the keyboard. Coarse and
fine adjustment control is provided for quick setup. Settings are persistent
even when the AdderLink is powered off which means that setup only needs
to be done once. Brightness adjustment is automatic.
Keyboard control - The cable equalisation is controlled
in 'configuration mode' using the keyboard attached to the remote (KVM
console-end) unit. Configuration mode is accessed using keyboard hotkeys.
These hotkeys may also be used to lock the remote unit (if a password has
been set). Hotkeys are variable and may be disabled if required. Feedback
is provided to the user using the keyboard num, caps and scroll lights.
Indicators - The remote and local units are fitted with
a link/activity indicator that shows the link status and indicate keyboard
and mouse data activity.
Computer / KVM switch compatibility - Compatible with
desktop, rack mount and laptop PCs with PS/2 keyboard and mouse connections.
May also be used with RS/6000, Alpha and SGI computers and a wide range
of KVM switches. Adder can provide a range of KVM switch and conversion
cables for connection to PC, Sun and Macintosh computers that have USB
or Sun (8-pin) connectors.
Operating system compatibility - Compatible with all
major operating systems including DOS; OS/2; UNIX; MS Windows 9x, NT, 2000,
XP;NetWare and RS6000.
Keyboard support - Supports PS/2 style keyboards with
6-pin mini-DIN connectors. Operates in modes, 1, 2 and 3 and supports individual
typematic states per key. Supports standard layout keyboards and enhanced
'Internet style' keyboards with extra keys. Supports all keyboard language
layouts.
Mouse support - Supports a wide range of PS/2 style 2
button, 3 button, wheel, IntelliMouse (3 button with wheel), IntelliMouse
Explorer (5 button with wheel) and other mice that support the Microsoft ® mouse
signalling protocols.
RS232 - 'Transparent' serial port operation ensures wide
device compatibility without the need to configure baud rates or protocols
on the AdderLink to match your equipment. Auto baud rate sensing ensures
that devices that switch baud rates (such as some touch screens) are supported.
All handshake lines are supported for maximum compatibility. Baud rates
up to 57,600 are supported.
Rack mount options - Both the local (computer-end) and
remote (KVM console-end) units may be rack mounted in the AdderLink rack
mount chassis. This optional chassis enables 2 units to be mounted in 1U
of 19-inch rack space.
