PHANTOM MX II
1. What is the Phantom MX II system?
The Phantom MX II system from Minicom is a CAT5 based KVM switching
solution for multi-server management. It features 2-User control and mixed multiplatform support on one CAT5 line. It also features Minicom’s unique distributed
switching technology.
Shielded CAT5 FTP cables connect the Phantom MX II system in a loop. The total
length of the CAT5 cables in the system can be up to 110m/360ft, see the
configuration diagram on page 4.
2 users working at 2 Phantom Managers control the remote computers. The 2 users
control the system through the MX II and the Universal Phantom Manager (UPM).
Each remote computer is connected to a micro-sized Phantom Specter II. For 2-user
functionality you must use the Phantom Specter II model.
This Quick Installation Guide illustrates the MX II and explains how to install it.
