Facilitates control of computers located in secure server room from a station on the plant floor
October 6
ARISTA Corporation, a global provider of the computing platform and KPI visualization for production automation in numerous industries, announces the Alvista Plus 3 to 1 KVM Switch Extender. Consisting of a KVM switch transmitter and KVM switch receiver, the Alvista Plus is designed to meet the demands of being able to control computers located in the secure server room via a console stationed on the plant floor.
The model ARD-0301-A00-TX KVM Switch Transmitter connects the HDMI outputs and USB ports of up to three computers as the source signals and then feeds those signals to the model ARD-1007-A02-RX-KVM03 KVM switch receiver. All of this is accomplished via a single CAT6 cable over a distance of up to 330 feet. The ARD-1007-A02-RX-KVM03 KVM switch receiver functions as a remote console with a display monitor plus a connected keyboard and mouse. A user at the console can press the switch on the KVM receiver to toggle control between the three computers remotely. The ARD-1007-A02-RX-KVM03 KVM switch receiver’s LED display indicates which computer is connected and the video output is shown on the LCD display monitor of the plant floor console.
The ARISTA Alvista Plus 3 to 1 KVM Switch Extender was specifically designed for the purpose of deploying the units inside industrial environments. Environmental protection and ease of installation are the two key considerations when installing these units in an industrial environment. To address these concerns, both the transmitter and receiver meet IP50 environmental protection requirements.
The ARD-0301-A00-TX KVM Switch Transmitter has a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) function that provides power over the Cat5e/CAT6 cable to the ARD-1007-A02-RX-KVM03 KVM switch receiver. Hence, the switch receiver does not require a power supply. The Alvista Plus 3 to 1 KVM Switch Extender makes a true single Cat5e/CAT6 cable installation possible—and this is a huge benefit when installing the unit in an industrial environment.
Paul Shu, President of ARISTA Corporation, commented on the company’s new Alvista Plus 3 to 1 KVM Switch Extender, “Using a single Cat5e/CAT6 cable, our new Alvista Plus switch extender makes the connection between three computers and a remote console up to 330 feet away entirely possible. The Alvista Plus provides point-to-point KVM switch extension with quick and easy installation. It is not an IP-based extension product, and no software or complex settings are required. I am confident that floor managers will find this level of remote control via a single cable very compelling.”
