SERVSWITCH™ BRAND CAT5 KVM MICRO EXTENDER
4.2.4.B Switches Whose CPU Ports Are Compatible Composite Interfaces
The CPU ports of some ServSwitch family KVM switches are composite (all-in-one)
interfaces that are compatible with the CPU port on the Extender’s Local Unit. On
these switches, the CPU ports are DB25 connectors pinned out the same way as the
DB25 connectors 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
ServSwitch Jr.
ServManager™
ServShare™
You can use the three-to-one KVM-extension cable included with your Extender to
attach a KVM-switch CPU port of this type the user ports on the Remote Unit or
Dual-Access Local Unit. If you’ve already used that cable to attach a CPU to the
Local Unit, order the same type of cable (product code EHN230) to make this
connection.
4.2.4.C Switches Whose CPU Ports Are Incompatible Composite Interfaces
The CPU ports of some ServSwitch family KVM switches are composite (all-in-one)
interfaces that are not compatible with the CPU port on the Extender’s Local Unit.
This doesn’t mean that these ports can’t be connected to the Remote Unit; you’ll
just need different cabling:
The CPU ports on the CPU Cards of the ServSwitch Multi are HD44 female
connectors. You’ll need a ServSwitch Multi Server Cable such as product code
KV2020-R2 to attach a ServSwitch Multi CPU port to the user ports on the
Remote Unit or Dual-Access Local Unit.
The CPU ports on the ServSelect are DB25 connectors pinned differently from
the DB25 connectors on the Local Unit. You’ll need a ServSelect Cable
(product code EHN056) to attach a ServSelect CPU port to the user ports on
the Remote Unit or Dual-Access Local Unit.
