System Overview
The Xtensys user station is designed with the latest in KVM switching
technology. From the Xtensys user station, you have access to all the
computers, servers, and serial devices that are connected to the Xtensys
switch.
The Xtensys user station’s design makes the unit easy to install, and
maintain. The complete system consists of the Xtensys switch, one or more
user stations, CATx transmitters as required for each connected computer,
and the computers, servers, and serial devices that will be connected.
KVM user station
A KVM user station, consisting of a Keyboard, Video monitor, and Mouse,
connects directly to the corresponding connectors on the rear panel of the
Xtensys user station. A KVM station can also be connected directly to the
Xtensys switch for local access to all connected equipment.
KVM Station Keyboard and Mouse
The keyboard and mouse that is connected to the user stations or local
console are PS/2 or USB (depending on the model).
KVM Station Video Monitor
The KVM user station’s video monitor should be capable of supporting the
resolution, frequency, and sync type being sent by computers connected to
the Xtensys switch. It is recommended that the KVM monitor be a multi-
sync monitor capable of resolutions up to 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz or better.
Cabling
KVM user is easily connected to the Xtensys switch with industry standard
CATx cables. Cables are usually purchased along with the Xtensys to
provide quick, trouble-free installation. Provide adequate strain relief for the
CATx cables to relieve excess tension on the connectors.
Avoid routing cables close to fluorescent lights, air compressors, high
voltage power sources and machinery that may create electrical
noise or interference with the operation of the Xtensys switch.
