Patent number: 8269783Abstract: A method and system for converting the output of a communications port (e.g., a serial port or a USB port) into video signals representing the output of a terminal using a KVM switch. Upon receiving characters from the communications port, the system interprets the characters as terminal emulation commands and internally generates a representation of what a resulting terminal screen would look like. From that internal (digital) representation, the system produces analog outputs representing the terminal screen. The analog outputs are output on the monitor attached to the KVM switch.Type: GrantFiled: July 24, 2007Date of Patent: September 18, 2012Assignee: Avocent Redmond CorporationInventor: Timothy C.

Upon receiving characters from the communications port, the system interprets the characters as terminal emulation commands and internally generates a representation of what a resulting terminal screen would look like. From that internal (digital) representation, the system produces analog outputS representing the terminal screen. The analog outputs are output on the monitor attached to the KVM switch.Type: GrantFiled: September 19, 2006Date of Patent: January 22, 2008Assignee: Avocent Redmond CorporationInventor: Timothy C.

Publication number: 20050232260Abstract: A computerized switching system for coupling a workstation to a remotely located computer. A signal conditioning unit receives keyboard and mouse signals generated by a workstation and generates a data packet which is transmitted to a central crosspoint switch. The packet is routed through a crosspoint switch to another signal conditioning unit located at a remotely located computer. The second signal conditioning unit applies the keyboard and mouse commands to the keyboard and mouse connectors of the computer as if the keyboard and mouse were directly coupled to the remote computer. Video signals produced by the remote computer are transmitted through the crosspoint switch to the workstation. Horizontal and vertical sync signals are encoded on to the video signals to reduce the number of cables that extend between the workstation and the remote computer.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 16, 2005Publication date: October 20, 2005Applicant: AVOCENT REDMOND CORPORATIONInventors: Danny Beasley, Robert Seifert, Paul Lacrampe, James Huffington, Thomas Greene, Kevin Hafer
