Avocent's AMX5100 desktop user station doubles as a monitor stand and provides access from the desk to the switch. The AMX5100 connects to the user's multi-platform KVM peripherals and sends the KVM signals over an industry standard CAT 5 cable to Avocent's AMX5000 matrix switch. Avocent's exclusive AutoTuning technology allows the AMX5100 to automatically compensate for varying cable types and lengths, including CAT 5, CAT 5e and CAT 6 and adjust for signal losses each time a switch is made to a server. The AMX5100 user station works with patented OSCAR on-screen interface. OSCAR uses multi-lingual, intuitive menus for Point and Click system configuration and server selection.
