Pro Models
Rose ServeView Pro is available in many
different models. There are four different chassis
sizes and four different platform types. Choose
the chassis depending upon the number of computers
you will be using. The multi-platform model is the
most versatile. It will convert any keyboard and
mouse to any other. The other models support a single
computer type. Rose ServeView Pro units can be chained
together to support up to 256 computers. The H and
D models are expandable with plug-in cards. Refer
to the table below for the part number.

Pro Cables
The Rose ServeView Pro uses a DB25 connector
to connect to the computer, keyboard, monitor, and
mouse. This makes the unit universal and makes the
connection to the Rose ServeView Pro neat and orderly.
Order the cable by computer type and length. Also
specify standard resolution (800 by 600 or less)
or high resolution greater than 800 by 600). Refer
to the diagrams below to see the connectors on the
back of the Rose ServeView Pro and a typical cable.

ServeView Pro Installation
Rose ServeView Pro is easy to install. You simply
connect your computers and keyboard, monitor, and
mouse to ServeView Pro ports using the adapter cables.
Keyboard commands are used to configure any parameters
and can be saved in non-volatile memory.
Rose ServeView Pro Emulation of Keyboard and Mouse
Most computers require a keyboard to be attached
to the computer in order to complete the boot-up
process. They also require a mouse to be connected
so the computers mouse driver can be loaded. ServeView
Pro allows automatic booting of all computers connected
to the ServeView Pro simultaneously. Rose ServeView
Pro senses any computer powering up, it then emulates
the keyboard and mouse as if they were directly
connected to each computer.
Rose ServeView Pro Flash Memory
The Rose ServeView Pro contains flash memory
which simply means it will never become obsolete.
Rose Electronics provides free lifetime firmware
upgrades. They are available from our FTP site via
the internet. It is simply matter of loading in
new firmware into the Rose ServeView Pro to add
new features and support new equipment.
Rose
ServeView On-Screen Display
You can choose to optionally install an on-screen
display board, which gives the ServeView Pro the
best on-screen display in the industry, even our
competitors agree. This makes the unit equivalent
to an Rose UltraView model. If you are connecting
switches together you only need to have an on-screen
display installed in the master unit and not in
the slave unit. The on-screen display can show 80
columns and 25 rows of text in 16 colors (including
see-through colors), six different font styles,
and graphics. The layout and access to the on-screen
display uses a modern, intuitive style and makes
it a joy to use. The ISO8859-1 character set is
used for true international support.
One must only configure the color scheme of aquarium,
tuxedo, festival, or forest. The setup the screen
saver for black screen, fireflies, weaving, or bounce.
Choose the font, color, and position for the name
of the currently selected computer or the computer
select window. Every task you perform with the on-screen
display is effortless and elegant.
