Chapter 1. Getting Started
Welcome
Thank you for purchasing Raritan Computer’s MasterConsole SMX .
Introduction
Raritan's keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switches are engineered to provide reliable, cost-
effective, central control of multiple computers. This eliminates the cost and clutter of
unnecessary equipment, reclaims space, and improves productivity for a host of
applications.
SMX is a KVM switch for Sun Microsystems’s Servers and workstations. SMX has three
models: SMX18, SMX28, and SMX416. SMX18 allows 1 user to control up to 8
computers. SMX28 allows up to two simultaneous users to select and operate up to 8
computers. SMX416 allows up to four simultaneous users to select and operate up to 16
computers. Exclusively one user can control each computer at a time. Or if desired, the
SMX28 and SMX416 can be optionally configured to allow sharing of videos among users.
Each user is provided with an On-Screen User Interface (OSUI) menu to facilitate
operation. A LCD display on the
SMX front panel continuously displays the status of the
system, and front panel control buttons allow the systems administrator to perform
maintenance functions and define system operation parameters. The firmware program
can be upgraded via a built-in communication port from a Windows 95/98 PC.
