a 1U system rack. Because of its modular design, the KVM section can be detached from the switch section. If you ever need to expand your connections, you can remove the 8 port Switch module; and replace it with a 16 port Switch module.

Your ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL investment is protected by an included Firmware Upgrade Utility. You can stay current with the latest functionality improvements by downloading firmware update files from our website as they become available, and using the utility to quickly and conveniently perform the upgrade.

Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. Because the ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL intercepts keyboard input directly, there is no software to configure; no need to get involved in complex installation routines; nor any need to be concerned with incompatibility problems.

Access to any computer connected to the installation is easily accom- plished either by entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or by means of a powerful mouse driven OSD (On Screen Display) menu system. A convenient Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the activities of all computers running on the instal- lation one by one.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a Master View ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL installation. By using the Master View ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL with its Slideaway console to manage your installation, you: (1) eliminate the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each computer; (2) save all the space those extra components would take up; (3) save the space that a keyboard, monitor, and mouse would take with a standard KVM switch; (4) save on energy costs; and (5) eliminate the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly moving from one computer to another.
