The Aten CE700 is a USB (Universal Serial Bus) based KVM Extender that allows access to a computer system from a remote USB console (USB keyboard, monitor, and USB mouse).

Because it allows access to a computer system from a remote console, the Aten CE700 is perfect for use in any type of insallation where you need to place the console where it is conveniently accessible, but you want the system equipment to reside in a safe location - away from the dust and dirt of the factory door, or the harsh environmental influence of a construction site, for example.

The Aten CE700 is also useful for control and security purposes, where you can have the system unit in a secure area at the at the same time that you put the console in the most convenient location for user access.

The Aten CE700 improves on previous designs by: 1) using inexpensive Category 5 cable (the kind commonly used in ethernet networks), instead of bulkier, more expensive, standard cables, for a much neater, more convenient, more reliable data transfer connection; 2) it is able to sense the distance to the system and automatically adjusts the gain accordingly; and 3) it features a custom ASIC to ensure the utmost in reliability and compatibility.

Setup is as easy as can be - simply connect the computer system box and local console to the Local Aten CE700 Module; run the Category 5 cable to the Remote Aten CE700 Module (up to 150 meters away); and plug the remote console into the Remote Module.

Note: You can control numerous remote systems from a single console by combining the CE700 with a USB KVM switch.

Question: Hi, All was working fine, we upgraded the desktops and OS from Windows XP to Windows 7. Any new mouse, regardles of make, does not work. Keyboard and Video still works. We have 38 installations, we need an answer urgenlty please.
Answer: Thank you for your inquiry. Unfortunately, detailed product support is beyond the scope of this simple FAQ. Having said that here are a couple thoughts.

First, make sure the devices work on the target computers directly. You can also try to use the most basic/wired-in mouse you can, sometimes emulation features will impact mulch-function mouse compatibility.

Lastly, the CE700 may simply not be compatible with Windows 7. This can be caused in the different way in which Windows 7 handles USB peripherals.
