The CrystalView
Whether you want to place computers in a secure rack,
are contending with cables in a hazardous electromagnetic area, or simply need greater distance between
your KVM workstation and your computers, CrystalView
fiber excels at extending your KVM signals. Units are
available as standalone units or as cards mounted in a
chassis.
CrystalView fiber is perfect for development labs,
television studios, kiosks, banks, educational
institutions, airports, offices, shipboard, aircraft, as well
as harsh industrial environments such as factories or
manufacturing plants. Fiber is virtually immune to
lightning, power surges, electromagnetic interference,
and radio frequency interference (RFI). Since the data
sent is digital, you’ll always have a clear picture which is
not always possible when using Cat5 extenders.
Maybe you want to relocate your computer for
protection against a harsh environment, an insecure
area, or a better place for maintenance. Then again
maybe the computers have to stay where they are and
it’s the operator that needs to be in a control room or at
an office desk.
Compatible with all Rose KVM products. CrystalView
fiber offers a perfect solution for any application when
you need a greater distance, a clearer picture, more
reliability, or more security between
computers or servers and workstations.

Typical Application
y
Accessing a computer from two locations,
one locally, the other is 33,000 feet away
CrystalView fiber overview The CrystalView fiber models are
sold in pairs as a transmitter and a receiver unit. The transmitter
connects to your computer and the receiver connects to your keyboard, monitor, and mouse. A dual unit has an extra connection for
another keyboard, monitor, and mouse on the transmitter unit. You
can also get a chassis that accepts up to 10 transmitters or receivers
with a common power supply for higher density ra ck mounting.
Transmitter and receiver are connected together with standard dual
fiber cable terminated with SC-type connections.
Distance and fiber cable types CrystalView fiber models are
supplied as either Multimode or Singlemode. Fiber optic cable is
specified by core size/cladding size. Multimode cable can be either
50/125 micron (up to 1200 feet) or 62.5/125 micron (up to 600 feet).
Singlemode cable is 9/125 micron (up to 33,000 feet). Cabling may
be ordered from Rose in any length.
CrystalView fiber platforms CrystalView fiber is available to
support PC or Sun computers. The PC model is available in a single
version or as a dual version with a second KVM station on the
transmitter unit. The Sun model is available as single version only.
CrystalView fiber chassis The CrystalView fiber chassis
accommodates up to 10 transmitters or receivers in a single 4U rack
mount unit with a common power supply. Typically transmitters will
be mounted in the chassis and connected to computers in the same
or a nearby rack. The receiver units are then deployed in various
locations.
Installation It is a straightforward operation to install the units.
Connect the transmitter to the computer, The rec eiv er to a keyboard,
monitor, and mouse and the fiber optic cable from the transmitter to
the receiver.
Operation Observe the status LEDs on the rear of the unit, the
green LEDs should be lit and the red LEDs should be off. On the PC
dual unit, there is a two second timeout between local and remote
keyboard and mouse. Both monitors should be active though.
Extending a Rose KVM switch In addition to extending the
KVM station from a computer, you can also use the CrystalView fiber
with Rose switches. You can connect the CrystalView fiber in one of
four ways: between computers and KVM workstation, between
computers and KVM switch, between KVM switch and KVM
workstation, and between KVM switch and KVM switch.
Keyboard and Mouse Emulation CrystalView fiber has
complete keyboard and mouse emulation. A keyboard or mouse
does not have to be connected to the receiver unit for your CPU to
boot. In fact the CPU will boot with only the transmitter unit
connected. This feature ensures that you CPU will always operate
regardless of whether the receiver unit is actually connected or
powered. The remote keyboard and mo use may be plugged in and
out at an
time.
Flash Memory To support the latest devices and provide
continuing features and support, CrystalView fiber P C model is flash
upgradeable using a programming tool on your computer.
