Single-port user station

The Avocent AMX5111-001 is a single-port KVM user station that connects one computer to a keyboard, mouse and monitor. It accepts USB or PS/2 input from the computer and provides PS/2 and serial console ports for the operator. Video output reaches 1280 x 1024 with support for higher resolutions at specific refresh rates.

Server-room operators, not multi-system users

This station suits administrators who need direct, real-time access to a single server with full bandwidth video quality and the OSCAR graphical interface for point-and-click selection. It does not suit operators who must switch between multiple computers from one console, because the unit only supports one computer connection.

One computer port

The defining specification is the single computer connection, which limits the device to controlling one server at a time. Buyers who need to manage two or more systems from a single keyboard, monitor and mouse must choose a multi-port KVM switch instead.

Questions about this item

What does the 1280 x 1024 resolution mean when this user station is connected to a server?

It provides a baseline SXGA image at full bandwidth; the unit also supports 1680 x 1050 at 60 Hz and 1600 x 1200 at 75 Hz for higher-detail console work.

Which console interface does the AMX5111-001 use for keyboard and mouse, and what does that limit?

Dual 6-pin mini-DIN PS/2 ports handle keyboard and mouse, so USB-only peripherals need an active adapter to work with this station.

What physical space and power does this 1-port user station require to mount and run?

The chassis measures 11.50" x 10.90" x 1.74" and weighs 4.41 lbs, with an internal supply accepting 100 V AC to 240 V AC.
