Description CompactCenter X2
The KVM matrix switch CompactCenter X2 enables the operation of 16 computers over
2 simultaneous, integrated console connections (1 x local, 1 x IP). The device provides no expansions.
A working system requires at least:
- 1 × central module CompactCenter X2
- 1 × computer module CATpro2
- 1 × CAT transmission cable (type 5, 6, 7)
By applying the required CATpro2 computer modules, the
CompactCenter X2 processes the following signals:
- Keyboard/Mouse [USB, PS/2, DEC-PS/2, SUN-USB-DE, SUN-USB-US]
- Video [VGA, DVI (at server side)]
The CompactCenter X is only available as X2 variant.

Monitoring | SNMP
Function: receive CompactCenter X2 status info
Operation via: web interface/SNMP
Efficiency: 1 cluster
The "COC-Monitoring" feature allows you to detect the system status of G&D devices.
The web interface of the particular device provides these information, which can also be sent (SNMP trap) or queried (SNMP GET).
Both the monitoring function and SNMP trap and agent are included in the scope of supply.
The information section shows the configuration settings and the detected status values of the device.
Among others, the following status values can be monitored:
- device's main power supply
- device's redundant power supply
- device's temperature
Status changes (e.g. power on/off) and exceeding defined
threshold values (e.g. temperatures) highlight these values
in red in the web interface. On the basis of defined parametres,
the device also notifies the administrator.
Application
The CompactCenter X2 can be applied as rack switch or in small server rooms. Thanks to its integrated IP console, it is also suitable to centrally administrate multiple smaller, distributed IT installations.
