97-S

Dual Station Interface for serial mouse and keyboard

  • Auto sensing, first come first serve switching between stations
  • Station LED indicates activity sensed at either station
  • Works with optional Model RXP-VKM receiver to extend one station as far as 300 feet using only one VGA cable (video and keyboard only – separate serial extension may be needed)
  • 5 second activity delay to extend selection time of last active station. This is used to keep a station’s connection to the CPU after actifity ceases and not relinquish control of CPU for 5 seconds after last activity (keystroke or mouse movement)
  • Monitor blank on Option DIP-swithc of non-active station
  • Long cable video compensation DIP switch

    The Model 97-S connects two monitors, two keyboards, and two mice to one PC. It displays the computer's video image on one or both monitors simultaneously, and automatically allows either station's keyboard, mouse or touch screen to access the PC.

    The Model 97 does not require any external power supplies or software; the computer still operates as if there is only one user connected. The Model 97-S also makes it possible to extend the distance between the CPU and a workstation by as much as 300 feet. Works with Model RXP-VKM (video and keyboard only - separate serial extension may be needed.)
