  • Publication number: 20080082705
    Abstract: 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.

  • Publication number: 20060197626
    Abstract: A directional bridge for measuring propagated signals to and from a source device to a load device where both the source device and load device are in signal communication with the directional bridge is disclosed. The directional bridge may include a first bridge circuit network and a first sensing element in signal communication with the first bridge circuit network. The first sensing element may produce a first measured signal that is proportional to the propagated signals.
