Overview
The CE-700 is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) based KVM
Extender that allows access to a computer system from a remote
USB console (USB keyboard, monitor, and USB mouse).
Because it allows access to a computer system from a remote
console, the CE-700 is perfect for use in any type of installation
where you need to place the console where it is conveniently
accessible, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe
location - away from the dust and dirt of the factory floor, or the
harsh environmental influence of a construction site, for example.
The CE-700 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 the most convenient location for
user access.
The CE-700 improves on previous designs by: 1) using
inexpensive Cat 5 cable (the kind commonly used in Ethernet
networks), instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard cables,
for a much neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer
connection; 2) it is able to sense the distance to the system and
automatically adjusts the gain accordingly; and 3) it features a
custom ASIC to ensure the utmost in reliability and compatibility.
Setup is as easy as can be - simply connect the computer system
box and local console to the Local CE-700 Module; run the Cat 5
cable to the Remote CE-700 Module (up to 150 meters 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-700 with a KVM switch.
