Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Black Box ServSwitch CX
Uno. This compact unit has been created to allow a
single operator to take full control of many computer
systems.
Like the other models within the highly successful
ServSwitch CX family, this unit takes full advantage of
category 5, 5e or 6 structured cabling to provide flexible
installation and configuration. Every connected computer
can be up to 10m (32 feet) from the ServSwitch CX Uno,
linked by a standard CATx cable and the ingenious SAM
(Server Access Module).
The ServSwitch CX Uno is available in two sizes, directly
supporting eight or sixteen computers respectively.
These numbers can be increased at any time thanks to
the ability to connect other ServSwitch CX Uno units in
cascade to provide a much larger network of controlled
computers. Both models provide full enterprise level
security to restrict access to authorized personnel.
Optional power switch control allows you to remotely
perform a hard reset on any host system, no matter
how badly it has locked up.
The user console can be either connected directly to
the ServSwitch CX Uno unit or placed up to 300m (980
feet) away using either CX R or CX R USB extenders
and, once again, standard CATx cabling. In addition to
providing the usual keyboard, video and mouse signals,
the ServSwitch CX Uno also provides audio output for
full feedback where necessary.
Many computers
ServSwitch CX Uno units can directly
support either 8 or 16 computer systems.
Multiple ServSwitch CX Uno units can also
be cascaded to support a maximum of 256
computers.
Each system is linked using a Server Access
Module (SAM) and category 5, 5e or 6
cabling to a maximum distance of 10m
(32 ft) from the ServSwitch CX Uno unit.
Optional power control
You have the opportunity to
attach one or more power
switches. These control the
supply to the system(s) and
allow a remote user to hard
reset any system that has
suffered a failure.
Local user
One user can
be connected
directly to the
ServSwitch CX
Uno.
Remote user
A remote user can be linked,
via a CX R or CX R USB
extender and category 5, 5e
or 6 cabling, to a maximum
distance of 300m (980 ft).
SAM formats
The SAMs are available in
different formats to support all
common types of systems, which
can easily be mixed within a
multi-format configuration.

Dual users
When both a local and a remote user are connected,
both consoles will see the same output, however, only
one will be able to take control at any one time. Control
is automatically relinquished by the current user two
seconds after the last input action, whereupon either
user can gain control. The control status is signified by
the keyboard indicators at each console.
