Options port
This RS232 serial port can separately support the following functions:
• Remote control switching - commands can be received that will change the
channel, as necessary.
• Synchronisation - allows the actions of two or more SC5-IP switches to be
synchronised so that multiple computers/video screens can be switched and
accessed.
Local user port
Connect a USB keyboard and mouse, plus a video
monitor to these connectors. These allow you to
perform the initial configuration of the SC5-IP.
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 CAM (Computer Access
Module) is used to provide the necessary keyboard,
video and mouse connections.
Power input
The power supply
connects here.
IP network port
The port by which global users are linked to the
SC5-IP unit. This intelligent Ethernet port can
automatically sense whether it is attached to a
10Mb or 100Mb network.
