Computers
The computers that will be connected to the UltraMatrix must be
compatible with the UltraMatrix model. The PC model can connect to
standard PC’s and Unix systems. The multi-platform model can
connect to PC’s, Unix systems, Sun systems, and USB. Apple ADB
computers can be connected using a Rose translator.
The CPU connectors on all UltraMatrix models are DB25F. Each
connected computer uses a CPU adapter cable compatible with the
computer’s keyboard, monitor, and mouse ports.
CPU adapter cables are available in lengths of 5 – 100 feet.
The UltraMatrix switch can support computers and serial devices such
as routers and hubs, which require a serial interface. A special cable is
used to connect from the UltraMatrix CPU connector (DB25F) to a
serial interface (Dumb Terminal, CPU, or serial device).
The UltraMatrix switches CPU port must first be configured for serial
functions. Serial CPU cables are available in DB25 to:
DB9 DB25 RJ11 RJ12 RJ45 MD8
Expansion
To expand the UltraMatrix switch in a Bus or Ring configuration, an
expansion card must be installed in each UltraMatrix switch. Figure 2
shows the expansion card used for all “E” series models.
The expansion connectors provide the means of sending the system,
keyboard, video, and mouse data from one UltraMatrix’s expansion
card output to another UltraMatrix’s expansion card input. This allows
a KVM station on one UltraMatrix to switch to a computer connected on
another UltraMatrix. Expansion cables are needed for each expansion
Unit.
Expansion cables are available in lengths of 2 – 250 feet.
