User Notice

All information, documentation, and specifications contained in this manual are subject to change without prior notification by the manufacturer. The manufacturer makes no representations or warranties, either expressed or implied, with respect to the contents hereof and specifically disclaims any warranties as to merchantability or fitness for any particular purpose. Any of the manufacturer's software described in this manual is sold or licensed as is. Should the programs prove defective following their purchase, the buyer (and not the manufacturer, its distributor, or its dealer), assumes the entire cost of all necessary servicing, repair and any incidental or consequential damages resulting from any defect in the software.

The manufacturer of this system is not responsible for any radio and/or TV interference caused by unauthorized modifications to this device. It is the responsibility of the user to correct such interference.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any damage incurred in the operation of this system if the correct operational voltage setting was not selected prior to operation. PLEASE VERIFY THAT THE VOLTAGE SETTING IS CORRECT BEFORE USE.

A typical LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) monitor has millions of pixels. A dead pixel refers to a pixel with a defect in its ability to display the correct color output. It most often looks like a tiny black or white spot on your screen, although it can be any other color. Since even a tiny dust particle on one of the pixels during the manufacturing process or a slight bump during shipping can create a dead pixel, the ISO 13406-2 norm defines 4 classes of acceptable screens with dead pixels--Class 1 is the best; Class 4 is the worst. Almost all manufacturers use Class 2 to establish their warranties, which allows a certain amount of dead pixels to exist before they will replace the screen. Since the manufacturers consider these screens to be acceptable under ISO specifications, we cannot be responsible for replacement or warranty of the TFT LCD panel.

Chapter 1

Introduction

Overview

The CL1000 is a KVM console module that feature an integrated LCD panel, full keyboard and touchpad in a 1U rack-mountable sliding housing. It was developed in response to the enormous popularity of the sliding console found on the CL1008 and CL1016 KVM switches. Those switches are made up of two major modules: the front-end sliding KVM Console module, and the backend KVM Switch module.

The CL1000 is similar to the front-end Console module found on the CL1008 and CL1016. Its purpose is to serve as the front end sliding console for compatible KVM switches.1 By only having to purchase the CL1000, users who already have a compatible KVM switch can take advantage of the space saving and efficiency benefits of the sliding console module without the unnecessary expense of having to purchase a model that includes a KVM switch module.

Setup is fast and easy. Simply use the KVM cable set supplied with this package to link the CL1000's KVM port to the console port of your KVM switch and you are ready to go.

1.The CL1000 supports most KVM switches that have PS/2 console port connectors. If you are unsure if your switch is supported, check with your dealer.
