Should the programs prove defective following their purchase, the buyer (and

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.

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.
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.

you are unsure if your switch is supported, check with your dealer.
