ABSTRACT
A
computerized
switching
system
for
coupling
a
Workstation
to
a
remotely
located
computer.
A
signal
conditioning
unit
receives
keyboard
and
mouse
signals
generated
by
a
Work
station
and
generates
a
data
packet
Which
is
transmitted
to
a
central
crosspoint
sWitch.
The
packet
is
routed
through
a
crosspoint
sWitch
to
another
signal
conditioning
unit
located
at
a
remotely
located
computer.
The
second
signal
condition
ing
unit
applies
the
keyboard
and
mouse
commands
to
the
keyboard
and
mouse
connectors
of
the
computer
as
if
the
keyboard
and
mouse
Were
directly
coupled
to
the
remote
computer.
Video
signals
produced
by
the
remote
computer
are
transmitted
through
the
crosspoint
sWitch
to
the
Workstation.
Horizontal
and
vertical
sync
signals
are
encoded
on
to
the
video
signals
to
reduce
the
number
of
cables
that
extend
betWeen
the
Workstation
and
the
remote
computer.
The
signal
conditioning
units
connected
to
the
Workstations
include
an
onscreen
programming
circuit
that
produces
menus
for
the
user
on
a
video
display
of
the
Workstation.
