Description:

The VIP-384 "XtendaMux""KVM Splitter / Multiplexer system allows any combination of up to four local or remote workstations, each consisting of a keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and one or two monitors, to share access to one PC. Remote workstations may be located at a distance of up to 150 feet from the VIP-384 XtendaMux. The VIP-384 KVM Splitter / Multiplexer provides a flexible combination of KVM extending and KVM multiplexing technologies in a single, compact, easy to install and operate system, and is available in a variety of standard configurations. All VIP-384 KVM Splitter / Multiplexer systems utilize Vetra's advanced keyboard and mouse emulation technology, which provides error free boot up and mouse driver loading to the connected PC. It is compatible with all popular keyboards and mice including Microsoft IntelliMouse, and operates transparently with all PCs, PC operating systems and applications.

Operation:

Only one workstation may access the PC at any given time. This prevents unwanted input from the other workstations as might occur from accidental keystrokes or a bump to the mouse. Workstation selection has two modes. The default mode utilizes a 5 second time out feature that monitors all connected workstations for keyboard or mouse input. The first workstation to generate keyboard or mouse input "seizes" the PC and becomes the "active station". It remains "active" until no further keyboard or mouse input is detected for a period of 5 seconds, at which time it relinquishes control of the PC and the whole process starts again. The second mode provides a lock and release feature which allows the user of an "active station" to lock out (3 taps on the left Shift key) the other workstations, for uninterrupted input to the PC, and then release control (3 taps on the right Shift key) when finished so that all workstations are available once again to the PC.

When PC control passes from one workstation to another, the intelligence in the XtendaMux KVM Splitter / Multiplexer updates any changes to the keyboard status indicators, CAPS, SCROLL, and NUM Lock to the current "active station". The connected monitors are not switched, regardless of which workstation is active, and are on at all times.

A workstations keyboard and/or mouse may be disconnected and re-connected (hot-plugged), or exchanged at any time without having to power down the connected PC. This feature is useful if a connected device fails during a critical application. Local workstations connect directly to the VIP-384 XtendaMux KVM Splitter / Multiplexer which is powered by a wall mount power supply. For remote workstations, the keyboard and mouse are connected to a Transmitter unit (VIP-380-T supplied as part of system) and are powered by a wall mount power supply. All power supplies are supplies with the system.

The remote workstation's keyboard and mouse data is transmitted via serial link between the the Transmitter unit(s) (VIP-380-T) and the VIP-384 XtendaMux. Distance between the Transmitter unit(s) (VIP-380-T) and the VIP-384 XtendaMux KVM Splitter / Multiplexer can be almost any length, since the RS-232 connection between them can be tailored for the required distance, from simple cables to low loss cable, short haul modems, fiber, etc. For applications requiring rack mounting, a 2U height rack mount tray is available (see Accessories ).

All Vetra KVM Splitters and Multiplexers are designed and manufactured in the USA for use around the world for enterprise mission-critical applications and are backed by a Limited 3 Year Warranty.
