PHANTOM MX II
1. What is the Phantom MX II system? The Phantom MX II system from Minicom is a CAT5 based KVM switching solution for multi-server management. It features 2-User control and mixed multiplatform support on one CAT5 line. It also features Minicom’s unique distributed switching technology. Shielded CAT5 FTP cables connect the Phantom MX II system in a loop. The total length of the CAT5 cables in the system can be up to 110m/360ft, see the configuration diagram on page 4. 2 users working at 2 Phantom Managers control the remote computers. The 2 users control the system through the MX II and the Universal Phantom Manager (UPM). Each remote computer is connected to a micro-sized Phantom Specter II. For 2-user functionality you must use the Phantom Specter II model. This Quick Installation Guide illustrates the MX II and explains how to install it. For further information please see the softcopy Installation Guide on the Marketing & Documentation CD. To connect the UPM see the UPM Quick Installation Guide in the UPM package.
2. Use the MX II with or without a computer To run the Phantom system the MX II does not need to be connected to a computer. When you do connect a computer use the 3 in 1 CPU cable illustrated below.

5. Pre-installation instructions If connecting a local computer, disconnect it from the electrical power supply. Place cables away from fluorescent lights, air conditioners, and machines that are likely to generate electrical noise. Caution: For continued protection against risk of fire, replace with the same type and rating of fuse only.

9. USB SUN Combo keys The PS/2 keyboard connected to a Phantom Manager does not have a special SUN keypad to perform special functions in the SUN Operating System environment. So when a Specter USB or SUN is connected to a SUN computer, the Specters emulate these SUN keys using a set of key combinations called Combo keys. See the table below. SUN key
