Guardian offers the ultimate in reliability and serviceability for your most valuable computer systems. Each Guardian for PC, Mac, and Sun computers plugs into the keyboard port and mouse port, and appears to the computer as its physical keyboard and mouse.Since Guardian behaves like a keyboard and mouse, the computer will boot and run flawlessly. Guardian is powered by the computer and provides ports so you can "hot" connect a keyboard and mouse anytime to operate the system. Using Guardian with PCs connected to a mechanical A/B switch will eliminate PC booting and keyboard locking problems. With Guardian in line, you can hot connect or disconnect MasterConsole cable or a physical keyboard and mouse. For mission-critical servers connected to Raritan's MasterConsole, Guardian provides a "fail-safe" service port. Guardian for Mac and Guardian for Sun also convert the keyboard, mouse, and video signals to PS/2 and VGA standards. This enables any number of Mac or Sun computers equipped with Guardian, as well as PCs, to be connected to MasterConsole and controlled with a single PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and VGA monitor.
