The UltraMatrix™ “E” Advantage . . .
The UltraMatrix “E” series represents the latest in KVM matrix
switch technology, at an affordable price. The
E-series UltraMatrix allows you to connect multiple users to
as many as 1,000 computers. The UltraMatrix E-Series is
available in several sizes: 2x4, 2x8, 2x16, 4x8, 4x16, 1x8, and
1x16 and either PC or multi-platform.
The advanced distributed design of the UltraMatrix uses
networking communication technology to reduce cost,
eliminate single points of failure, and increase reliability. Use
the on-screen menus to configure, name, and select
computers, and show connections.
Units easily connect together with bus cables to make a
seamless and truly scalable KVM matrix solution. The
advanced distributed design of the UltraMatrix uses
networking communication technology to reduce cost,
eliminate single points of failure, and increase reliability.
With the multi-platform version you can connect almost any
computer with a PS/2, Sun, USB, or serial interface. For
example, access a Sun USB computer from a PC keyboard
and mouse, or other combinations. When accessing a serial
device the on-screen display becomes a color VT220 terminal.
Once you install the UltraMatrix its value increase since it has
flash memory. Firmware updates are available from
rose.com. This ensures your product will be compatible with
the newest products and technologies. Call us today for more
information on this and other Rose products.

Typical Application
Models UltraMatrix E-Series switches are available in several models.
They have fixed port configurations and plug-in expansion cards. The 4xE
units connect 4 users with 4, 8 or 16 computers. The 2xE units connect 2
users with 4, 8, or 16 computers. The E-Series switches can be
connected together giving access to as many as 1000 CPUs
Cables Rose’s UltraCable streamlines cable connections to
UltraMatrix, simplifying cable management and improving system
reliability. Order the computer or user cable by the computer’s KVM
connector style and desired length. We stock a large variety of cable
types in lengths up to 100 feet. Please specify standard resolution
(1024x768 or less) or high resolution (greater than 1024x768). Expansion
cables are ordered by length. You need one cable between boxes for
every two KVM stations
.
Installation UltraMatrix is easy to install. You simply connect your
computers and KVMs to the UltraMatrix ports. Access the on-screen
menu and configure each switch.
Operation Use simple keyboard commands to access computers and
view system status. Helpful screen messages indicate the status of all
connections. To allow maximum versatility, users can connect in four
different modes: view, share, control, and private.
On-screen menu UltraMatrix excels with its on-screen menu
technology. The intuitive interface uses pop-up menus to make
selections. User-friendly help lines are shown for each item. The interface
can be programmed for English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, or
Portuguese. You can easily configure CPU names, security, appearance,
screen saver and many other features with ease and style. Use the o nscreen menu to connect to computers by name, view connection status,
and observe system status in real time
.
Serial devices The OSD is so powerful that it is actually a color
VT220 terminal. You can configure any computer port to be serial. When
you connect to a serial device you get a 24x80 screen with two status
lines. You can access the serial device just as if you were connected with
a terminal. Linux serial ports will show directory lists in color. This feature
is only available on multi-platform units.
Keyboard and Mouse
mouse. It works on all major operating systems such as Windows,
Solaris, Linux, UNIX, SGI, and OSX. Use any combination of PS/2, USB,
and Sun (multi-platform only) including PS/2 wheel and serial mice. USB
(PC, Apple, and Sun) is for the computer side only, not on the KVM side.
It is compatible with European and Asian languages.
UltraMatrix fully emulates keyboard and
Flash Memory To support the latest devices, UltraMatrix contains
flash memory. We provide free, lifetime firmware upgrades, available
from our FTP site. Using the serial port, load new firmware into the
UltraMatrix to support new equipment or add new features.
Serial control Each card has a global serial port for flash upgrade,
diagnostics, and control. You can send data to one of these serial ports
to switch any keyboard to any computer or to read the status of which
computers are connected to which KVM stations.
