The UltraMatrix™ Advantage . . .

The UltraMatrix series products offer the latest in KVM
switch technology. Rose's enterprise KVM switch has
the ability to connect multiple users to as many as
1,000 computers. These computers can be a mix of
PC's, UNIX systems, Apple/Mac, SUN, and several
supported serial devices like routers, Ethernet
switches, and UNIX. If you need a VT220 terminal
emulator to connect to a serial device, the UltraMatrix
can even perform as a VT220 color terminal.

The UltraMatrix reduces clutter, saves physical space,
and reduces equipment and power costs. Use the on­screen menu to configure the unit, name computers,
select computers, and show computer connections.

Units connect together with a bus connection 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.

The UltraMatrix provides serial support to access
computers, routers, Ethernet hubs, UNIX devices and
more. It can perform as a “VT220” color terminal
emulator with an eight-page scroll buffer. Local
monitor connection, security, flash memory, system
status, and a long list of other features
ensure the UltraMatrix will streamline your
data center or server room. Call us for more

Typical Application

UltraMatrix Models The UltraMatrix UM4 and UM8 models are

based on a five-card chassis which accepts up to four computer/user
cards and one expansion card. The UM16 model uses four
computer/user cards and two expansion cards. The UltraMatrix
comes ready-to-go with the cards installed according to your order.
The maximum you can populate one chassis is sixteen computers and
four users. You can connect the units together to add more
computers and users. The chassis is versatile for expan ding as your
system grows. It makes maintenance and service easy and supports
future hardware.

Cables Rose’s UltraCable streamlines the cable connections to

UltraMatrix, simplifying cable management and improving system
reliability. Computer or user cables are ordered by the connector type
needed and desired length. Expansion cables are ordered by length
and are usually connected in a bus. You need one cable for every two
global user stations.

Installation The UltraMatrix is easy to install. You simply connect

your computers, keyboards, monitors, and mice to the UltraMatrix
ports using UltraCables. Configure each switch by access the on­screen menu, configure settings such as computer names and
security, and save it in flash memory.

Operation You can tailor the UltraMatrix to suit your style of

operation by configuring the level of security that you desire. You can
either auto-assign security settings to KVM stations or require users
to log into the switch with a user ID or password. The user profile
then grants access rights to designated computers and controls other
characteristics. Use simple keyboard commands to access
computers and system status. The On-screen display gives helpful
messages to indicate the status of all connections. To allow
maximum versatility, users can connect in four different modes: view,
share, control, and private. Each card also has a serial port if you wish
to control the connection of any user station to any computer by at
the serial data link of another computer.

Serial devices The on-screen display of the UltraMatrix is so

powerful that it can be configured to be a color VT220 terminal for
accessing serial devices.

Keyboard and Mouse UltraMatrix fully emulates the keyboard

and mouse, so computers can be booted at any time. It supports all
operating systems such as Windows 95/98/NT/2000, Linux, Sun
Solaris/Open Windows, Apple, and UNIX workstations. Keyboard and
mouse can be PC or Sun. Five types of computer mice are directly
supported including wheel mice. USB and Apple are supported by
inexpensive external converters.

Flash Memory

contains flash memory. We provide free lifetime firmware upgrades,
available from our FTP site. Load new firmware into the UltraMatrix
to add new features or support new equipment.

On-screen-menu The UltraMatrix excels with it's on-screen

menu technology. The interface uses pop-up boxes to make
selections. Help line is shown for each item to make the interface
even more user-friendly. The interface can be programmed for
English, French, German, Spanish, Italian, or Portuguese. You can
easily configure the computer names, security, appearance, screen
saver and many other features with ease and style. Use the on­screen menu to connect to computers by name, see connection
status, and observe system status in real time.
