NTI PRIMUX MATRIX KVM SWITCH VIA CAT 5
INTRODUCTION
The PRIMUX-16X64 KVM Matrix Switch via CAT5 is designed to enable the relocation of up to 16 VGA monitors, PS/2 or USB
keyboards and mice from up to 64 non-blocking PS/2, SUN, or USB CPUs by as much as 1000 feet. The PRIMUX is comprised
of at least one PRIMUX KVM Matrix Switch (SWITCH), at least one PRIMUX-UZR User Station and at least one Host Adapter
(HA-UNV,HA-SUN-MTX, or HA-RS-M) connected to a CPU to be controlled by the user. The PRIMUX-UZR User Station supports
PS/2 and USB user keyboard and mouse (devices). This manual describes the installation and operation of these three
components.
The PRIMUX Host Adapters and User Stations are connected to the SWITCH with either CAT5 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) or
Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable, CAT5e cable, or CAT6 cable.
The PRIMUX Series CAT5 KVM Matrix Switch is simple to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance.
Through the use of CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system.
Here are some of the features and ways this can benefit any workplace:
• Allows the placement of a monitor, keyboard, and mouse in a location where only these parts are needed without having
the CPU there too, taking up valuable space
• Allows any PS/2 , legacy SUN or USB CPU to be accessed by a remote user (up to 1000 feet away)
• Non-blocking control- up to 16 users have a clear path to up to 64 CPUs without "spaghetti" wiring
• Compatible with XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems
• Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1024x768 /60Hz @ 1000 feet (using CAT5 UTP cable – see page 59 for details)
• Video quality adjustment is automatic providing optimum image quality
• Allows future expansion - buy what it is needed now, add more later as desired
• Multi-user, multi-platform, multi-rack access
• Ideal for hazardous/unsecured environments. The User Stations can be located up to 1,000 feet from the servers
• Inexpensive CAT5/5e/6 UTP cable replaces bulky KVM cables
• Simple plug-and-play auto-configured installation
• Servers are discovered as they are powered up, and can be accessed immediately by authorized users
• Hot-swap components with no disruption of server operation
• Dedicated microprocessors prevent CPUs from locking up, ensuring reliable control
• Real time power status of connected servers
• Provides connection to servers during power up at the BIOS level
• Platform-specific host adapters (PS/2+USB,SUN, and Serial computers)
• Command and control provided by OSD of connected User Station
• Flash firmware upgrades
