Options port
This RS232 serial port can separately support the following functions:
• Power switching - can be configured to control multiple power switching devices.
• Remote control switching - commands can be received that will change the
channel, as necessary.
• Synchronization - allows the actions of two or more ServSwitch CX Uno switches
to be synchronized so that multiple computers/video screens can be switched and
accessed.
• Upgrades - used to update the internal firmware when necessary by connecting to
a computer.
• Transferring configuration settings - allows information about the connected
computers to be saved and restored.
Local user port
Connect a USB keyboard and mouse, plus a video
monitor and optional speakers to these connectors.
These allow you to perform the initial configuration
of the ServSwitch CX Uno. Additionally, you can use
these to locally control the connected computer(s).
Computer ports
Each computer connects to one of these ports via
standard category 5, 5e or 6 cabling. At the other
end of the cabling a SAM (Server Access Module)
