Patent ID: 8024502

Claim:
A keyboard-video-mouse (KVM) extender system, comprising: a first module configured to connect to a computer, comprising: a first processor, operable to transform first mass data into at least one first data packet, and operable to transform at least one second packet into second mass data; a first interface, operable to transceive the first mass data from a first USB mass storage to the first processor and operable to transceive the second mass data from the first processor to the first USB mass storage; and a first Ethernet transceiver, operable to transceive the second data packet from a cable to the first processor, and operable to transceive the first data packet from the first processor to the cable; and a second module configured to connect to a console, comprising: a second processor, operable to transform the second mass data into the second data packet, and operable to transform the first data packet into the first mass data; a second interface, operable to transceive the second mass data from a second USB mass storage to the second processor and transceiving operable to transceive the first mass data from the second processor to the second USB mass storage; and a second Ethernet transceiver, operable to transceive the second data packet from the second processor to the cable, and operable to transceive the first data packet from the cable to the second processor, wherein the first module is directly connected to the second module without network hubs disposed therebetween, wherein the first data packet and the second data packet transceived between the first Ethernet transceiver and the second Ethernet transceiver are controlled by a half duplex communication executed by two wires of the cable.
