Because
the CE-220 Console Extender System allows access to a computer
system from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse),
it is perfect for factory and construction sites, or any type
of installation where the console needs to be kept in a conveniently
accessible location, but you want the system equipment to
reside in a safe place - away from dust, dirt, and harsh environmental
influences.The CE-220 Extender System is also useful for control
and security purposes, where you can have the system unit
in a secure area at the same time that you put the console
in a location that offers convenient access.
The CE-220 Console Extender provides the ideal means to access
the remote system box, since it improves on previous designs
by using inexpensive Category 5 STP cable - the kind commonly
used in Ethernet networks - instead of bulkier, more expensive,
standard cables.Category 5 cabling makes for a much neater,
more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection. Setup
is as easy as can be - simply connect the PC system box and
local console to the Local CE-220 Module; run the STP cable
to the Remote CE-220 Module (up to 150 m away); and plug the
remote console into the Remote Module.
Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single
console by combining the CE-220 with a MasterView KVM Switch.
