SERVSWITCH™ BRAND CAT5 KVM MICRO EXTENDER
4.2.2.B Switches Whose User Ports Are Compatible Composite Interfaces
The user ports of some ServSwitch family KVM switches are composite (all-in-one)
interfaces that are compatible with the Local Unit’s CPU port. On these switches,
the user ports are DB25 connectors pinned out the same way as the DB25
connector on the Local Unit. At the time of this writing, some of the important
ServSwitch family models in this category are:
ServSwitch™
ServSwitch™ Ultra
Matrix ServSwitch™
ServSwitch™ Affinity
ServManager™
ServShare™
Order a ServSwitch-to-ServSwitch Expansion Cable (product code EHN284) to
attach this type of KVM-switch user port to the Local Unit’s CPU port.
4.2.2.C Switches Whose User Ports Are Incompatible Composite Interfaces
The HD62 female user ports on the ServSwitch™ Multi’s User Cards are composite
(all-in-one) interfaces that are not compatible with the Local Unit’s CPU port. This
doesn’t mean that they can’t be connected to the Local Unit’s CPU port; you’ll just
need slightly more complicated cabling.
Namely, you’ll need a ServSwitch Multi User Cable such as product code
KV2505, plus the three-to-one KVM-extension cable included with your Extender.
Refer to Section 6.2.2.C for a description of how this cabling fits together.
