INTRODUCTION
The PRIMUX CAT5 KVM System (PRIMUX) allows the relocation of a VGA monitor, PS/2 or USB keyboard, and mouse from up
to 64 PS/2, legacy SUN, or USB CPUs by as much as 1000 feet. The PRIMUX is comprised of one PRIMUX-UZR User Station
for remote user control and at least one Host Adapter (HA-PS2, HA-USB, HA-SUN or HA-RS) connected to a local CPU. The
PRIMUX-UZR User Station supports PS/2 or USB user keyboard and mouse (devices). This manual describes the installation
and use of both components.
The PRIMUX Host Adapter and User Station are interconnected with either CAT5, CAT5e, CAT6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP)
or CAT5, CAT5e Shielded Twisted Pair (STP) cable.
The PRIMUX User Station may be used to control a PRIMUX Matrix Switch. When connected to one of up to 8 user ports, the
PRIMUX User Station can be used to share access to up to 64 Host Adapters with the other User Stations connected to the
PRIMUX Matrix Switch. Features unique to Matrix Switch operation are highlighted throughout this manual where applicable.
The PRIMUX Series CAT5 KVM System is easy to install and has been thoroughly tested to insure reliable performance. Through
the use of CAT5, CAT5e, or CAT6 cable it is possible to economically increase the flexibility of a computer system. Here are
some of the features and ways this can benefit any workplace:
•
Allows the placement of a monitor, keyboard, and mouse in a location where only these parts are needed without having
the CPU there too, taking up valuable space
•
Rugged metal enclosure allows user to set the monitor directly on top
•
Allows any PS/2, USB or legacy SUN CPU to be accessed by a remote user (up to 1000 feet away)
•
Additional RJ45 port on the Host Adapter allows the daisy-chaining of up to 64 Host Adapters providing user access to
up to 64 CPUs
•
Control up to 64 CPUs from one keyboard, mouse, and monitor without "spaghetti" wiring
•
Compatible with XGA, VGA, and SVGA systems
•
Provides crisp and clear resolution up to 1024x768 /60Hz @ 1000 feet (using CAT5 UTP cable- see pg 46 for details)
•
Video quality adjustment is automatic providing optimum image quality
•
On Screen Display (OSD) menus enable easy configuration of the system (page 16)
•
Allows for future expansion- buy what is needed now, add more later as desired
