Introduction
Overview
The CL-1200 is a KVM console module featuring an integrated 15" or 17"
LCD panel, full keyboard, and touchpad in a 1U, rack-mountable, Slideaway™
housing. It was developed in response to the enormous popularity of the
Slideaway™ console found on the CL-1208 and CL-1216 KVM switches. The
CL-1208 / CL-1216 models are made up of two major modules: the front-end
Slideaway™ KVM Console module, and the back-end KVM Switch module.
The CL-1200 is similar to the front-end Console module found on the CL-1208
/ CL-1216. It's purpose is to serve as the front end Slideaway™ console for
standard Master View KVM switches.
By only having to purchase the CL-1200, users who already have a Master
View switch can take advantage of the space saving and efficiency benefits of
the CL-1208 / CL-1216's Slideaway™ console without the unnecessary
expense of having to purchase its KVM Switch module.
Setup is fast and easy. Simply use the supplied KVM cable set to link the CL-
1200's KVM ports to the console ports of your KVM switch and you are ready
to go.*
For convenience, ports to link an external keyboard, video, mouse console are
also provided.

The CL-1200 supports most Master View KVM switches that have PS/2
console port connectors. If you are unsure if your switch is supported, check
with your dealer or call Aten Customer Service.
