Chapter 1: Introduction 

AUATC Overview 

Congratulations on your purchase of Raritan’s AUATC terminal converter! The AUATC is designed to emulate an 
“ASCII terminal,” converting RS232 serial ASCII terminal data to PS/2 keyboard and VGA video or Sun keyboard 
and Sun video. This conversion allows any devices that can be accessed by an ASCII terminal to be operated using a 
PC or Sun console. These devices can now be accessed up to 650 feet away and through Raritan’s KVM switches.
