Computer system (via SAM)
Each computer system is connected to the
ServSwitch CX Uno unit via a Server Access
Module (SAM) and standard category 5, 5e or
6 cabling. SAMs are available in various formats
to suit differing computer system types and their
particular connector styles.
Each SAM uses Keep Alive technology to
ensure that the keyboard and mouse inputs
to the computer remain active, even when
the particular channel is not selected. This action ensures that there are no
connection delays or problems as the port is selected.
To connect a computer system
1 Ensure that power is disconnected from the ServSwitch CX Uno unit and the
system to be connected.
2 Locate the required SAM (there are five types available) and attach its video,
keyboard and mouse (PS/2-style, USB or Sun) and optional audio connectors
to the relevant sockets on the computer system.
3 Lay a suitable length of category 5, 5e or 6 cabling between the computer
system and the ServSwitch CX Uno unit. The maximum length of the cable
can be up to 10 metres (32 feet), however, bear in mind that the overall
distance between a remote user and any computer must not exceed 300
metres (980 feet).
4 Attach the connector of the cable
run to the socket of the SAM.
5 At the other end of the cable run, attach the cable connector to one of the
sockets labelled
COMPUTER CONNECTIONS
on the rear panel of the ServSwitch
CX Uno unit.

Note: Each SAM is
specifically shaped so
that it can be secured
using a cable tie around
its middle. In this way,
two SAMs can also be
neatly joined together,
back-to-back.
