NTI PRIMUX Redundancy Switch
INTRODUCTION
The PRIMUX® Redundancy Switch allows the user to quickly switch over all User Station and Server connections to a back-up
PRIMUX VGA KVM Matrix Switch if the main unit needs to be taken down for service. The position of a rocker switch determines
which matrix switch is used.
The PRIMUX-RDSW provides instantaneous restoration of connections between users and CPUs connected to a PRIMUX KVM
Matrix Switch via CAT5. When used in conjunction with a second PRIMUX Matrix switch, the first switch can be switched to
instantly with the toggle of a switch on the PRIMUX-RDSW.
The PRIMUX-RDSW serves as a recovery switch connecting up to 16 users (connected through PRIMUX-UZR User Stations) to
up to 64 servers (connected through PRIMUX Host Adapters HA-UNV, HA-SUN and/or HA-RS).
• Quickly switch control of User Stations and Servers to the back-up PRIMUX VGA KVM Matrix Switch via CAT5.
• Dual redundant power for reliability.
• Simply flip rocker switch to use back-up unit.
• Supports PRIMUX-8X32, PRIMUX-16X64, and all connected User Stations and Servers.
• Easy cable connections
◦ Use CAT5e STP cables to connect the PRIMUX Matrix Switch to the Redundancy Switch (not included).
◦ Use CAT5/5e/6 STP/UTP cables to connect Host Adapters and User Stations to the Redundancy Switch (not
included).
◦ Up to 1000 total feet of CATx cable can separate the Host Adapters from the User Stations (including the longest
length of cable between the PRIMUX Redundancy Switch and either of the PRIMUX Matrix Switches)
