Exactly how much control and convenience do you need

to manage your servers?

Chances are, you can’t have enough. That’s why we made

the ServSwitch Ultra

™

.

With the ServSwitch Ultra, you can manage multiple-

platform servers that include PC, Sun

®

, Mac

®

, and certain PC-

based UNIX

®

platforms like SGI

™

, RS/6000

®

, and DEC

™

Alpha.

Not only is the ServSwitch Ultra versatile enough to support

multiple platforms, but it also supports USB keyboards and mice
as well as serial devices such as touch-screen monitors. Plus, all
units are optimized for use with audio applications. 

All ServSwitch Ultra units feature convenient on-screen

menus that make system configuration and server selection
a snap. Choose a model that fits your installation.

The ServSwitch Ultra is expandable, too. Install an Expansion

Card to add 4 ports—or daisychain units to manage up to 
256 servers!

From the main configuration page, the ServSwitch Ultra on-

screen displays enable you to configure the ServSwitch

™

, change

to different servers, and see the server to which you are connec-
ted. Overlay parameters like screen colors, screen fonts, and how
long server labels are displayed are also programmed through
the on-screen menus.

For ease of use, the on-screen display enables you to select

names for each server. These names will show up on the screen

when you select the corresponding port. And when you
configure the overlay page, you can select such things 
as the screen saver, screen-saver time, computer-select 
window appearance, and computer-label appearance. 
You can truly make the ServSwitch Ultra yours.

Use a multisync monitor that can sync to the highest

horizontal frequency of all video systems being shared.

How the monitor identifies itself is also important. 

The ID bits it sends may not be recognizable to different
video systems. We recommend a multi-sync monitor for 
mixed video platform systems.

Your monitor should also have the appropriate adapter

cables to enable it to work with each video platform in your
system. Although the ServSwitch Ultra converts keyboard
and mouse signals in multiplatform configurations, it won’t
convert video signals.

The Flash ROM can be upgraded at power-up, receiving

a programming file at either 57.6 kbps or 9600 bps (user-
selectable) from a PC’s serial port.

To do this, connect the serial port of a PC to the serial

port of the ServSwitch Ultra via the DB25M–RJ-45 adapter
and modular cable that comes with the switch.
