SERVSWITCH™ CONSOLE PLUS

The ServSwitch Console Plus can support computers and serial devices such as
routers and hubs, which require a serial interface. A special cable is used to
connect from the ServSwitch Console Plus CPU connectors (DB25F) to a serial
interface (Dumb Terminal, CPU, or serial device).
The ServSwitch Console Plus CPU port must first be configured for serial
functions. Serial CPU cables are available in DB25 to:

Expansion
To expand the ServSwitch Console Plus in a Bus or Ring configuration, an
expansion card must be installed in each ServSwitch Console Plus. Figure 1
shows the expansion card used for all models. (Part number SW740C-R3-B)
The expansion connectors provide the means of sending the system, keyboard,
video, and mouse data from one expansion card output to another expansion
card input. This allows a KVM station on one ServSwitch Console Plus to
connect to a computer connected on another switch. Expansion cables are
needed for each expansion Unit.
Expansion cables are available in lengths of 2 – 100 feet.
If an expansion card is permanently removed, a terminator and cover plate
must be installed.
