OVERVIEW These days it seems never have too much security. Hackers aside, there intentioned people who accidentally compromise ® PC type computer systems. It’d help computers’ keyboards and mice, it? But how can you, when PCs don’t boot without a keyboard attached? The Keyboard and Mouse GHOST Emulator helps keep unauthorized users from poking PCs. When, instead of a keyboard, you attach a computer, the emulator sends the booting PC the responses that a keyboard would. So the PC boots and operates normally, without an attached keyboard to attract the itchy fingers of the uninvited. The AT . PS/2 Mouse GHOST Emulator (AC244A) and the Keyboard and Mouse GHOST Emulator (AC245A) do the same thing with the PC’s mouse port (which must be serial for the AT . PS/2 Mouse GHOST Emulator, PS/2 type for the Keyboard and Mouse GHOST Emulator). A GHOST Emulator attached to the mouse port sends mouse responses to the booting PC, so that the PC boots properly, loads its mouse driver, etc., without an attached mouse. Both of these emulators are easy to install, include cables, and don’t require user intervention once they are hooked up. They’re all powered by a PC interface rather than an external power supply: The AT . PS/2 Mouse GHOST Emulator is powered by the serial mouse interface; the Keyboard and Mouse GHOST Emulator is powered by the keyboard interface. The AT . PS/2 Mouse GHOST Emulator has a passthrough connector—designed for a PS/2 mouse, because it also functions as a PS/2 to serial mouse conver-ter. (You can use it, in fact, to attach a PC/AT ® to a KVM switch or extender that has only PS/2 mouse ports.) Plus, it’s hot-swappable. The Keyboard and Mouse GHOST Emulator has both key-board connectors, as well as both output and passthrough PS/2 mouse connectors for mouse emulation and hot-swapping.
