KVM extenders allow longer extension of the transmission path for mouse, keyboard and monitor signals via Cat5 cables (also known as network cables or patch cables). Connection is possible both directly to a PC / server and also to a KVM change-over switch. The KVM extender offers a respective connection option to a local and a remote operating console.

Appropriate uses for KVM extenders can be found in server rooms, on one hand where continuous working is not possible because of air conditioning. On the other hand, the KVM extender has a local connection option for an operating console so that a console can be serviced anyhow.

Administration can be done comfortably from the administrator’s place of work. This work station is usually located quite far away from the server room. This distance can be extended with a KVM extender.

A KVM extender can also be used in a private house. Music or films are often played back from computers. The computer can be “banished” to another room or the basement to avoid having irritating noises in the living area. The signal is amplified by a KVM extender so that there is no loss of quality. Support from the mouse and keyboard allows the data to be controlled or even edited, PC games can be played or the internet can be surfed.

DIGITUS® brings a special type of KVM extender onto the market. Free, direct selection between USB and PS/2 connections for the peripherals is possible for the first time. The dual operating console allows control from both sides, the local and the remote. The user can select between local, remote or local and remote control.

The direct connection option for USB and /or PS/2 input devices both to the local and also the remote console is unique and patented.

The combo KVM extender DS-51110 allows extension of VGA Video-, USB- and PS/2 signals up to a distance of 200 meters from the signal source. The highest quality of video playback is guaranteed by the integrated amplifier for video- and keyboard -/ mouse signals.

The DIGITUS® KVM extender offers a video resolution of up to 1280 x 1024 pixels at 60 Hz (up to 200m) or even up to 1920 x 1080 pixels (at up to 75m) with DDC2B support. The remote unit can also be used manually in addition to automatic correction for picture sharpness, brightness and colour correction. Outstanding video quality is provided in this way.

The KVM extender is ideal for the operating systems: Windows® Vista, Server 2003, XP, 2000, ME, 98SE, DOS, Linux, Mac OS from Version 9 and also Sun Microsystems. Access to the BIOS level and company ware upgrades is possible, of course. Installation of additional drivers or software is not necessary.

The 125×78x46 mm compact transmission and receiver units of the KVM extenders are delivered together with a VGA extension cable, two PS/2 connection cables and two DC 5V 2A mains power units. Operating instructions in German and English are enclosed.

The recommended retail price for the DIGITUS® KVM extender DS-51110 is €315,-.

GPIB was originally developed by Hewlett-Packard in the late 1960s and was accepted as IEEE-488 standard in the 1970s. The GPIB / IEEE-488 interface has been the choice of professionals, when it comes to a proven connection of PCs to measurement devices ever since. Its rugged, industrial grade connector mechanisms, its real-time response and maximum connection length still gives it advantages over the more modern USB or LAN/Ethernet interfaces.

Meilhaus Electronic has been involved with the GPIB ever since it’s founding, over 30 years ago. Since a secure connection is a key factor for dependable communication between a host PC and various measurement devices, Meilhaus Electronic has developed their own line of dependable and innovative line of GPIB cables. The most revolutionary model line is the DeLuxe family. Besides the high quality cable itself, which offers features such as twisted pair lines and multiple shielding to prevent interferences, the DeLuxe cables have special Connectors. These connectors are not made of the usual die-cast zinc, but of aluminium. This reduces the weight by about 50%, which is an important factor, when several connectors are stacked, as it is often the case in GPIB applications. Another advantage is the lower resistance, which leads to an improved shielding. The most innovative feature of this new connector is that the wire exits the housing at a 30-degree angle. This allows connectivity to GPIB interfaces that are located in slightly recessed enclosures as they are often encountered when GPIB boards are integrated into standard PC slots, where extension connectors are usually required.

Besides the DeLuxe- and standard lines of GPIB cables with lengths of 0.5 to 20 meters, Meilhaus Electronic offers a wide range of GPIB devices and accessories including adapters from Serial, LAN or USB to GPIB, relays that can be driven by the GPIB and others.

Worldofcables (Santa Clara-CA): We’re going to assume that your cable or DSL Company has come in and setup an Internet connection for one of your computers. If they haven’t, then that would be your first step. From there we can convert that wired setup into a wireless one. The wireless network will use the cable/DSL modem in much the same way as the wired network does.

First, connect your wireless router to your modem, and plug your modem into your DSL/cable Internet line.

If you have a main “immobile” PC in your home you can connect it directly to the wireless router via a standard Ethernet cable. This is actually a popular way to start, as your pre-network setup probably contains one PC connected to the Internet via a network cable and modem. This also gives you an easy, central place to install printers, scanners etc., for your wireless PCs to access. Most wireless routers also have several wired connection ports. This gives you the capability of connecting PCs/laptops to your router via standard CAT5E Ethernet cables. Some routers will require you to start with at least one computer connected via wire for the configuration process, but when you are done you can disconnect and move your PC and leave the router and modem where it is.

If you don’t want to connect any PCs with cables to your router, you will need to decide where your wireless router will sit in your home. A typical wireless router can interact with computers in a 200-300 foot radius depending on obstructions. As you move farther away from the access point, the connection will become slower. Walls and other obstructions, especially concrete, further limit wireless range. So it’s best to position the access point centrally in your home. The closer a PC is from the router the stronger the signal will be. In some homes, you might also be restricted by phone/cable line locations and so that may dictate where you put your router.

Each computer that will be wirelessly connecting to your network will need to have a wireless network card installed. If you don’t have a free slot in your PC or if you don’t feel like popping open your computer than many different wireless USB adapters are available. Though it’s not crucial, choosing a router/network-card combination that are of the same brand can make configuration a lot easier, as well as let you take advantage of special features that may be included in the devices. At the very least, be sure to choose a router/adapter combo that uses the same wireless protocol. The wireless protocol essentially determines the speed at which the devices are able to communicate with each other. The most commonly used protocol today is 802.11g, which, at 54 megabits per second, is faster than the older 802.11b. 802.11n is just starting to become more common, though only for very specific applications. It’s very expensive and your average wireless network is not able to take advantage of its speed.

Security

Security is the most overlooked step in setting up a wireless network. Because wireless signals can penetrate through walls and floors, it is possible for anyone with a wireless laptop to connect to your network. Once connected, they can root around in your shared files and even introduce viruses onto your PC’s. Fortunately, it’s really easy to secure your network.

There are 2 types of protection offered by wireless routers. One is a firewall. The other is encryption. They can be used at the same time.

Encryption, which decides who can use your wireless connection and who can’t, has two common types: WEP and WPA. Without getting super technical, WEP requires users that want to enter the network to put in a specific key code, while WPA requires users to tell the network who they are and request a key code for access. The differences are pretty technical, but to simplify it I’ll put it this way: WEP is the old style and will certainly stop the casual passersby from accessing your network, while WPA is newer and will stop even the craftiest hacker. Your desired level of security will determine which type you choose to use.

For both the firewall and/or WEP/WPA protections, follow the instructions that came with your router as the procedure for enabling encryption varies from product to product.

Most new computers will auto-configure your router and get you connected. You may have to configure your computer to turn on DHCP. This allows your router to differentiate between your different computers. The best way to start configuring is on the hardwired PC and then move on to each wireless one.

Enable DHCP

If you have a Windows based computer: Go to Start -> Programs -> Control Panel -> Network Connections. Right click on the connection and select Properties. Select Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) and click properties. Select Obtain IP Address Automatically and Obtain DNS Server Address Automatically. If you are using a Windows 2000 machine you must then click Advanced and select DHCP Enabled and click OK. You may have to reboot for the settings to take affect.

If you have a Mac running OS 10.2: Go to System Preferences -> Network. Click on the TCP/IP tab. In the TCP/IP panel, change Configure Manually to Using DHCP. Delete any Domain Name Servers that are listed in the Domain Name Servers box. Click Apply Now.

If you have a Mac running OS 10.3: Go to System Preferences -> Network. From Show, choose Built-in Ethernet. Click on the TCP/IP tab. From Configure, choose Using DHCP. Delete Domain Name Servers. Click Apply Now.

Setup Sharing

To allow for the other computers to share certain folders or printers: If you are running Windows 2000/XP: Right click on any file folder and go to Sharing and Security… Select Share This Folder. Click OK. The other computers on your network can access anything you put in this folder. To share a printer, on the PC with the printer, go to Start -> Printers and Faxes. Right click on the printer you’d like to share and select sharing… Select Share this Printer. Click OK

If you have a Mac running OSX: Go to System Preferences (on the Apple menu) and click on Sharing. Select Personal File Sharing. The “Public” folder in your home folder will now be shared automatically. Use the address displayed at the bottom of the Sharing window to access this folder from other computers. Unlike Windows, Mac OSX does not allow you to share any folder you want. To share printers, select Printer Sharing.

Smithville, Indiana’s largest privately held telecommunications company, today announced the completion of the first segment of a more than $100 million Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) overbuild for all of its residential customers in Indiana. This cutting-edge technology will allow Smithville’s customers access to some of the fastest broadband speeds available anywhere in the U.S., including a mammoth 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) package. Currently, no other internet service provider (ISP) in the state of Indiana offers 100 mbps service for residential customers. In fact, no other ISP in the entire US Midwest offer’s more than 50 Mbps.

Rural communities everywhere have rarely been first to receive new technology upgrades of any kind. Many of Indiana’s rural communities are no different, struggling today to upgrade to a broadband system that can support sustained economic development and a higher quality of life. Smithville, Indiana’s largest privately held telecommunications company, has set out to change that and today announced the completion of the first segment of a more than $100 million Fiber-To-The-Home (FTTH) overbuild for all of its residential customers in Indiana.By bringing fiber optic cable directly to each home, customers will receive Internet, voice and TV at the speed of light. This cutting-edge technology will allow Smithville’s customers access to the fastest broadband speeds available anywhere in the U.S., including a mammoth 100 Megabits per second (Mbps) package. Currently, no other internet service provider (ISP) in the state of Indiana offers 100 mbps service for residential customers. In fact, no other ISP in the entire US Midwest offer’s more than 50 Mbps.

According to Joe Savage, President of the National Fiber-to-the-Home Council, “Smithville’s investment in a fiber-to-the-home network will pay dividends for their subscribers, not only in improved access to the Internet, but in increased tele-work and home-based business opportunities, as well as increased tele-education and tele-health application usage. We applaud the forward-looking efforts of Smithville to bring true high-speed communications to their customers.” Called Fiber-to-the-Home, Smithville’s all-new technology platform will give customers the ability to access the Internet, voice, and television and web based television services at a speed much faster than currently available to most residential customers anywhere in the United States–in rural or urban areas. Using light waves to carry digital signals, Smithville’s new FTTH system will transmit data approaching the speed of light–about 186,000 miles per second–with upload and download speeds up to 100 Mbps.

“Smithville’s $90 million investment and commitment to bringing cutting-edge technology to rural Indiana will not only impact their customers directly, but will help to advance the economy of the region as a whole,” said Lt. Governor Becky Skillman. “Smithville’s efforts to bring true high-speed broadband to these communities will help them become more competitive in the 21st Century economy and advance technology in rural Indiana.”

“As technology advances and becomes more integrated into everyday life, the bandwidth available via fiber directly to the home will become essential for all residential customers,” said Smithville President and CEO Darby McCarty.    ”We’re looking to the future and acting now, as opposed to acting later, and bringing technology to rural Indiana that can’t be found in most large cities.”

Smithville’s new FTTH service will set a new standard of digital communication with the complete rebuild of its existing system. When complete, none of Smithville’s customers will use existing copper or hybrid (combination of copper, fiber or coaxial cable) systems which possess significant limitations and cannot achieve the higher speeds available only with all-fiber systems.

So how fast is Smithville’s new fiber-to-the-home platform? For example: A movie purchased and downloaded on a DSL connection might take as long as two or three hours to complete. The time required to download that same movie might be cut in half with a cable modem. But with Smithville’s fiber-based connection, the same movie could be downloaded in seconds.

Within the next 12 months Smithville will have half of its residential customers using the new fiber-to-the-home service. For more information about Smithville’s 100 Mbps service offering, other products or other information about the company, visit www.smithville.net.
