EMULATOR RS232 to USB (KM HOT KEYS)
KVM control: SEM-1 can control Fibernet secured KVM devices using Fibernet custom protocols
SEM-1 enables a Fibernet secure KVM to become part of a larger control-room or AV/control-system architecture. The operator keyboard and mouse connect through SEM-1, while a third-party control system connects over RS-232.
The control device communicates using Fibernet custom protocols, allowing external commands to be delivered to the supported secure KVM without adding a separate software layer to the operator workstation.
A 3-pin terminal block provides the RS-232 control connection for an external controller.
SEM-1 controls Fibernet secured KVM devices using Fibernet’s custom protocol.
Two USB-A ports provide direct keyboard and mouse connectivity at the SEM-1.
USB-B connects SEM-1 to the supported Fibernet secure KVM and also supplies power.
Add Fibernet secure KVM switching to a wider room-control or command-and-control environment through RS-232.
The datasheet positions SEM-1 as plug-and-play, with no additional software required.
The small enclosure is designed to fit into space-constrained operator desks and equipment installations.
SEM-1 receives power exclusively from the secured KVM over the USB-B connection.
