Virtual Keyboard and Mouse

Guardian is a line of keyboard and mouse emulator/converters for PCs, Apple Macintoshes, and Sun Workstations.

Just plug Guardian into your PC, Mac, or Sun and it appears to the computer as its own physical keyboard and mouse. Because Guardian serves as a "virtual" keyboard and mouse, your computer will flawlessly boot and run without a keyboard attached Guardian is powered by the computer and provides ports so you can "hot-plug" a keyboard and mouse at any time to operate the system.

For any mission critical server connected to Raritan's MasterConsole, Guardian also functions as a fail-safe service port enabling you to "hot-swap" a physical keyboard and mouse for the MasterConsole cable at any time.

In addition, Guardian for Mac and Guardian for Sun convert the keyboard, mouse, and video signals to PS/2 and VGA standards. This enables any number of Mac or Sun computers equipped with Guardian, as well as PCs, to be connected to MasterConsole and controlled with a single PS/2 keyboard, PS/2 mouse, and VGA monitor.
