Raritan MZCIM-PS2 MasterConsole Master Console Z Series PS2 KVM Switch Module

What is the MasterConsole Z?

MasterConsole Z, the next generation in the Z-Series of KVM solutions, replaces the traditional KVM switch box with an innovative, server-to-server daisy-chain arrangement, significantly reducing cable clutter. Small Computer Interface Modules (MZCIMs), connected to the keyboard, video and mouse ports of each server, are linked with standard Category 5e UTP cable and transmit keyboard, video and mouse signals to a User Station. A keyboard, video and mouse plug into the User Station, enabling the user to select and control up to 64 servers via simple on-screen menus. The daisy-chain can be up to 700 feet end to end.

How is the MasterConsole Z unique?

Raritan's innovative MasterConsole Z offers a switchless solution that enables access and control of multiple-platform servers from a single user console (keyboard, video and mouse), without consuming precious rack space. MasterConsole Z controls up to 64 servers and eliminates the traditional KVM switch box, as well as all of the hard-to-manage, server-to-switch cables. It is designed to support management of the most challenging server environments, where space is at a premium or where systems to be accessed are up to 700 feet away.

What are the components of a MasterConsole Z system?

A MasterConsole Z system consists of three components: a User Station (MZUST), Computer Interface Modules (MZCIMs) and a Terminator (TER-ZCIM). Computer Interface Modules connect to the keyboard, video and mouse ports of each computer (PS/2, USB or SUN) and provide failsafe computer access with Raritans dedicated keyboard/mouse emulation. MZCIMs are linked one to the next with a single Category 5e UTP cable; the last MZCIM in the chain is linked to the User Station. The User Station allows a person at one user console (keyboard, mouse and monitor) to select and control up to 64 servers via a simple, on-screen user interface.

How do MZCIMs work?

MZCIMs connect up to 64 servers in a daisy-chain," each MZCIM plugging into one server's keyboard, video and mouse ports, as well as the MZCIMs preceding it and following it in the chain. The MZCIMS securely receive and transmit KVM signalling between the servers and the MasterConsole Z User Station over a UTP Cat5 cable. With the User Station, an administrator can select between target servers to access and control, and can grow the chain to add more servers as needed.

How is the MasterConsole Z designed to grow with a business?

MZCIMs can be purchased in groups as starter kits or individually. A system administrator can purchase only the number of modules he or she needs, and then add additional MZCIMs as they add servers.

What interfaces does the MZCIMs support?

MZCIMs provide access to multiple platforms, including Sun, USB and PS/2.
