Introduction

Overview

The CL1000N is a LCD KVM console that features an integrated 19" LCD
panel, full keyboard, and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable sliding housing.
This model provides convenient 'at the rack' console access to KVM switches
already installed at your site.
It was developed in response to the enormous popularity of the sliding console
found on the CL1008 and CL1016 KVM switches. Those switches are made
up of two major modules: the front-end sliding KVM Console module, and the
back-end KVM Switch module.
The CL1000N is similar to the front-end Console module found on the CL1008
and CL1016. Its purpose is to serve as the front end sliding console for
compatible KVM switches. By only having to purchase the CL1000N, users
who already have a compatible KVM switch can take advantage of the space
saving and efficiency benefits of the sliding console module without the
unnecessary expense of having to purchase a model that includes a KVM
switch module.
Setup is fast and easy. Simply use the KVM cable set supplied with this
package to link the CL1000N's KVM port to the console port of your KVM
switch and you are ready to go.
