The Cybex KVM switch range is a modular, chassis-based system. Both the 1XP and the 4XP includes its own power supply. The chassis can be populated with three types of moduleAccess, Computer and Expansionto make up a complete system according to your needs. Access modules provide the user interface for the system and connect directly to a monitor, mouse and keyboard. Up to four users can be configured per 4XP chassis by fitting four Access cards.
Computer modules connect the machines to be controlled to the control system, one per machine.
An Expansion module allows discrete chassis to be linked to create systems capable of controlling many more than 13 machines. The maximum limit of control for the 4XP is 3,048 machines. To make up a working system, you load a suitable chassis with the appropriate number of Computer modules, as many Access modules as there are user consoles and, if the system requires more than one chassis, one Expansion module for every two expansion chassis. A master chassis is loaded with an Expansion receiver module and linked to an Expansion transmitter module in the expansion chassis via UTP cables. It should be pointed out that it s well worth carefully planning any large cable installation to avoid difficulties with routing.
