Typical Application 
 
Models  
The UltraConsole KVM switch is available in several 
models.  They have fixed port configuration and plug-in 
expansion cards.  The UC1 model connects a user to 4, 8, or 
16 computers; Adding additional units can expand the system 
to as many as 1,000 computers. 
Cables 
 
Rose’s UltraCable streamlines cable connections to 
UltraConsole, simplifying cable management and improving 
system reliability. Order the computer or user cables by the 
computer’s connector style and desired length. 
 
Installation
   
UltraConsole is easy to install. You simply 
connect your computers and a KVM to the UltraConsole 
ports. Configure each switch’s address and connect the 
switches together with the expansion cables. Access the on-
screen menu with a simple keystroke, configure settings such 
as CPU names and security, and save it in flash memory.  
Operation   
Tailor UltraConsole by configuring the level of 
security that you desire. You can auto-assign security settings 
to a console station or require users to log into the switch 
with a user ID and password. The user profile grants access 
rights to designated computers and controls other 
characteristics. Use simple keyboard commands to access 
computers and view system status. Helpful screen messages 
indicate the status of all connections. To allow maximum 
versatility, users can connect in four different modes: view, 
share, control, and private. 
On-screen display
 
  
UltraConsole excels with its on-screen 
menu system. The intuitive interface uses pop-up menus to 
make selections. User-friendly help lines are shown for each 
item. The interface can be programmed for English, French, 
German, Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese. You can easily 
configure CPU names, security, appearance, and many other 
features.
 
Serial devices  
 
The UltraConsole’s OSD is so powerful that it is 
actually a color VT220 terminal emulator. You can configure any 
computer port to be serial. When you connect to a serial device, 
you get a 24x80 screen with two status lines. You can access the 
serial device just as if you were connected with a terminal. Linux 
serial ports will show directory lists in color. 
 
Flash Memory   
To support the latest devices, UltraConsole 
contains flash memory. We provide free, lifetime firmware 
upgrades, available from www.rose.com.  
 
 
Keyboard and Mouse  
 
UltraConsole fully emulates the 
keyboard and mouse. It works on all major operating systems 
such as Windows, Solaris, Linux, UNIX, SGI, and OSX. Use 
any combination of PS/2, USB, and Sun including PS/2 wheel 
and serial mice. USB (PC, Apple, and Sun) and serial mouse 
are for the computer side only, not on the KVM side. It is 
compatible with European and Asian keyboard languages
