Introduction

Overview

The CE-300 KVM Extender with onboard audio allows access to a computer

system from a remote console (keyboard, monitor, stereo speakers,

microphone and mouse). It is perfect for factory and construction sites, or any

type of installation where the console needs to be in a conveniently accessible

location, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe place – away

from dust, dirt, and harsh environmental influences.

The CE-300 also is useful for control and security purposes. Store the system

unit in a secure area at the same time that you put the console in a location that

offers convenient access.

Recognizing the increased importance of sound in the computing environment,

the CE-300 improves on earlier models by incorporating audio capability.

Now, stereo microphone and stereo speaker transmission can be extended to

the remote system along with the KVM data.

The CE-300 KVM Extender plus Audio provides the ideal means to access the

remote system box, since it improves on previous designs by using compact

Category 5 cable – the kind commonly used in Ethernet networks – instead of

bulkier, more expensive, standard cables. Category 5 cabling makes for a much

neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection over greater

distances.

The CE-300 features a custom ASIC to ensure the utmost in reliability and

compatibility, and can also sense the distance to the system and automatically

adjust the gain to compensate.

Setup is as easy as can be – simply connect the computer system box and local

console to the Local CE-300 Module; run the Cat 5 cable to the Remote CE-

300 Module (up to 100 meters away); and plug the remote console into the

Remote Module.

Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single console by

combining the CE-300 with a KVM switch.
