If two or more users need access to the same computer, they can 'share' access
to it through the XP units. Sharing means that multiple users can switch to the
same computer at the same time. Everyone can see that computer's video, but
only one can enter data at any given moment.
If your total number of computers and users is greater than 14, use our
expansion modules. Connecting an expansion transmitter in one XP Series unit
to an expansion receiver in another XP Series unit lets you combine multiple
units in one system. Control thousands of computers from one set of peripherals!
Transmitters and receivers are available with Cybex proprietary or industry
standard category 5 UTP cable connections. Category 5 cables can be ordered
in standard or extended distance versions. With Cybex or UTP standard
distance cabling, each XP Series unit can be up to 250 feet apart; a user and the
farthest accessible computers can be up to 500 feet apart.
Users in an XP Series system also have the option of multimedia support.
Every user has access to a dedicated keyboard, mouse and video monitor as
well as optional microphone and stereo speaker connections.
Secondary User Console
Secondary user consoles have access
to every computer in the system.
*Monitor must be capable of synchronizing with any attached computer's video output.
For on-screen management and multi-level security, try the XPDU deluxe user
module. Name your servers, then select them from a pop-up menu. Quick edit
capability lets you change channel name or address on the fly. Control features
allow you to manage scanning and broadcast operations on-screen as well.
On-screen management also supports multi-level security with password
protection. Control how much access users have to each computer in your data
center. An additional feature is the optional logout after a user defined period
of inactivity. When the timeout is reached, the current channel is deselected
and the screen goes blank. Users must login again to access system computers.
A serial port is also available, allowing for the use of a printer or similar serial
device at the console. This serial port can optionally be used as a serial access
port to the XP Series Control Menu. From this menu, you can determine your
