VIP-882-KMV

2 Workstation KVM Splitter The VIP-882 "MegaMux"™ Dual-Video Models Available

Description: The VIP-882 "MegaMux"™ KVM Splitter / Multiplexer allows two workstations, each consisting of a keyboard, PS/2 mouse and one or more monitors, to share local access to one PC. It is compact in design, easy to install and operate, and is available in a variety of standard configurations including Dual Video (2 video outputs on the PC) models. The unique video architecture and scalability of this KVM Splitter / Multiplexer allow it to be easily configured to handle PCs with as many as four video outputs, on a special order basis. The VIP-882 utilizes 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 IBM compatible PCs, PC operating systems and applications. Operation: On all models only one workstation may access the PC at any given time. This prevents unwanted input from the other workstation as might occur from accidental keystrokes or a bump to the mouse. On non-keyswitch models, workstation selection has two modes. The default mode utilizes a 5 second time out feature that monitors both 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 workstation, for uninterrupted input to the PC, and then release control (3 taps on the right Shift key) when finished so that both workstations are available once again to the PC. Keyswitch models utilize a 2 position front panel keyswitch to select the active workstation. The keyswitch can be removed in either position for security purposes. On all models, when PC control passes from one workstation to the other, the intelligence in the MegaMux 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. The VIP-882 is powered by the connected PC's keyboard and mouse ports, so no external power supply is required. For applications requiring rack mounting, an optional 2U height rack mount tray is available (see Accessories ). All Vetra KVM Splitters and Multiplexers are designed and manufactured in the USA for enterprise mission-critical applications and are backed by a Limited 3 Year Warranty.

Connections: PC to MegaMux - Standard male-male extension cables are used to connect the MegaMux to the keyboard and mouse ports of the PC, and standard HDD15 Male-female video cables are used to connect to the video ports of PC. These are provided with the unit. Keyboard, Mouse, and Monitor to MegaMux - The captive cables that are part of the keyboard, mouse, and monitor are used to connect these devices the the MegaMux. Extension cables are also available for short run extensions (see Accessories ). For remote extensions of one or more workstations see XtendaMux. Powering the MegaMux - All 882 MegaMux models are designed to be powered by the connected PCs. In some cases, depending on the make and model of the connected keyboards and mice, the PC's ports are unable to supply enough current to power all the devices. This can result in unreliable performance from the MegaMux. This can be corrected by powering the MegaMux with an external power supply (Vetra model VIP-210 see Accessories ).
