Designing your own 4xP/1xP system is easier when you break it down by components. All systems are made up of the same basic elements: a 4xP/1xP chassis, users and computers. A 4xP chassis holds a maximum of 14 modules; a 1xP holds 5 modules.
If you need more than one unit to hold all of your computers and users, then you will also have expansion modules in your configuration. For a step-by-step overview, see below.

The Switch Chassis

All systems begin with the chassis. This unit holds all of your user and computer modules. Models are available in either desktop or rackmount style, with front or rear panel peripheral access and single or dual power supplies. Choose the chassis style that best suits your configuration.

4XPR	Rackmount unit, front panel interface
4XPD	Desktop unit, front panel interface
4XPER	Rackmount unit, rear panel interface
4XPED	Desktop unit, rear panel interface

User Modules

Next, select your user modules. You can have up to four simultaneous users per 4xP chassis. Choose from either the basic or deluxe user modules below.

XPLU	Basic user module supporting multiplatform keyboard, monitor and mouse.
XPDU	Deluxe user module supporting advanced features such as on-screen management and two levels of security.

Computer Modules

Then, select a computer module for every computer you want to attach to your 4xP. Simply add the number of PC, Mac and workstation computers you have. Choose from either the basic or deluxe computer modules below.

XPAC	Basic computer module for connecting computers to the 4xP.
XPAB	Deluxe computer module supports advanced features such as Flash upgrade and optional individual power control.

Expansion Modules

If your total number of computers and users is greater than 14, you can make use of our expansion modules. Connecting an expansion transmitter in one 4xP unit to the expansion receiver in another 4xP enables you to combine multiple units into one system. Transmitters and receivers are available in standard or category 5 UTP cable.

XPXT	Standard expansion transmitter
XPXR	Standard expansion receiver
XPST	Category 5 UTP expansion transmitter
XPSR	Category 5 UTP expansion receiver

Managing Growth

Now you've got all of the components necessary for multiple users to control multiple computers. So, what do you do if you want control from your office down the hall. Combine our expansion technology with another 4xP/1xP unit, and you can control all of your computers from hundreds of feet away!
