1. What is the Phantom system?
The Phantom system from Minicom is a distributed KVM switching solution for 1 or
more users. In the 1-User system a Manager controls the remote computers that are
connected to Phantom Remote units. The Remote units can be either PCI cards or
boxes called Specters. For multi-user functionality add a Phantom MX II.
ALL types of Phantom Manager and Remote units are compatible with each other.
This Quick Installation Guide illustrates the Phantom Specter, its cables, and how to
install it. For further information please see the softcopy Guide on the Marketing &
Documentation CD.
2. Pre installation instructions

Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and any machine that is
likely to generate electrical noise.

IRS232
