UltraLink 2 Installation and Operations Manual 3
System Introduction
Thank you for choosing UltraLink™ 2 from Rose Electronics for your network access
solutions. This intelligent and innovative product is the result of Rose Electronics
commitment to providing state of the art switching solutions for today’s demanding
workplace. The UltraLink 2, when installed and connected to your network, allows you full
access and control of the connected computer from the built in viewer client or any web
browser from almost anywhere. This small, flexible, and powerful product uses Real VNC
client software that is designed for very secure, encrypted, and password protected
exchange of information between the server and the remote viewer.
The UltraLink 2 sets a new standard for an easy and very secure way to remotely manage
server room environments, remote standalone applications such as digital signage, and
many other remote applications. Connect the UltraLink 2 to a KVM switch and you now
have access and control to as many computers as you KVM switching system can support.
The UltraLink 2 is different in the way it manages remote access to your systems. All of the
systems that will be remotely connected remain completely unchanged and can run their
usual operating system normally. They only need to be connected to the UltraLink 2 unit.
Being totally operating system independent, a user can remotely connect to a
Windows,
Linux, UNIX, Sun, and even a DOS system with no problem. The UltraLink 2 is ideal for
remote computers running stand alone applications like ATMs and remote digital signage
devices.
Whatever your remote accessing needs are, the versatility of the UltraLink 2 from Rose
Electronics can fulfill those needs. It can be installed at any network level, connected to a
single server, a computer running any operating system, or connected to a KVM switch.
PS/2 or USB, analogue or digital video, UltraLink 2 can handle it.
For the majority of applications, the UltraLink 2 requires no external power. It obtains its
power from the PS/2 keyboard and mouse or USB ports on the connected PC. A power
adapter is needed if you connect to a KVM switch that does not provide +5V on both the
keyboard and mouse lines.
