Overview
Because the CE-220 KVM Extender System allows access to a
computer system from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, and
mouse), it is perfect for factory and construction sites, or any type
of installation where the console needs to be in a conveniently
accessible location, but you want the system equipment to reside
in a safe place - away from dust, dirt, and harsh environmental
influences.
The CE-220 System is also useful for control and security
purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area
at the same time that you put the console in a location that offers
convenient access.
The CE-220 KVM Extender provides the ideal means to access
the remote system box, since it improves on previous designs by
using inexpensive Category 5 cable—the kind commonly used in
Ethernet networks—instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard
cables. Category 5 cabling makes for a much neater, more
convenient, more reliable data transfer connection.
Setup is as easy as can be—simply connect the computer
system box and local console to the Local CE-220 Module; run
the Cat. 5 cable to the Remote CE-220 Module (up to 150 m
away); and plug the remote console into the Remote Module.
Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single
console by combining the CE-220 with a KVM switch.
