Black Box ACX1MR-AR Modular KVM Extender Receiver Expansion Card
Overview
The Black Box ACX1MR-AR is a modular receiver expansion card designed to integrate RS232 serial data and bidirectional audio into compatible KVM extension systems. This card is essential for deployments requiring remote control of serial devices or two-way audio communication alongside video and USB signals, such as in secure government facilities or advanced control rooms. Its GSA compliance makes it suitable for federal agency installations.
Compatibility
This receiver card is specifically designed for use with the Black Box KVM extender system chassis. It is compatible with the following KVM extender transmitter models: ACX1MT-AR and ACX1MT-US. Ensure your existing KVM system utilizes these transmitter models and has an available expansion slot to accommodate the ACX1MR-AR receiver card.
Installation Notes
Installation requires opening the KVM extender chassis and inserting the ACX1MR-AR card into a designated expansion slot. Ensure the system is powered down before installation. The card requires a direct connection to the KVM extender chassis's internal bus for power and data. RS232 and audio connections are made via standard terminal blocks on the card itself.
