UNIVERSAL PHANTOM MANAGER  
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.  
Universal Phantom Manager  
Quick Installation Guide  
The Phantom system supports mixed type and multi-platform computers.  
In the 1-User system, shielded CAT5 FTP cables connect the Phantom Manager to  
the nearest Remote, and that Remote to the next one, and so on, in a daisy chain  
pattern. The last Remote can be up to 110m/360ft away from the Manager. See the  
configuration diagram on page 4 showing both Remote PCI cards and Specters in  
the Phantom system.  
The Multi-User system connects in a loop – as explained in Phantom MX II guide.  
This Quick Installation Guide illustrates the Universal Phantom Manager (UPM)  
and explains how to install it. For further information please see the softcopy Guide  
on the Marketing & Documentation CD.  
2. Connecting a computer to the UPM  
To run the Phantom system the UPM does not need to be connected to a computer.  
A computer must be connected to the UPM to perform Phantom applications such  
as upgrading firmware or renumbering Remote units. This is discussed in detail in  
softcopy User Guide.  
When you do connect a computer use the 3 in 1 CPU cable illustrated below.
