Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The 2- or 4-Port ServSwitch™ USB/DVI/Audio KVM Switch enables you to con- trol up to two or four PCs, or G3/G4 Mac or Mac Pro computers from a single console (USB keyboard, USB mouse, and DVI [Digital Visual Interface] monitor, plus audio). You can use it to share two peripherals—plus a keyboard and mouse—among up to four computers. It supports Microsoft® IntelliMouse® and other mice.
Setup is fast and simple, and no configuration software is needed. Its small desktop footprint makes it ideal for on or under your desktop. Use the front-panel buttons on the ServSwitch™ to select ports or start AutoScan. The front-panel LEDs will light with the corresponding active port when switching between the computers. The AutoScan function allows you to automatically scan and monitor all computers, one by one, that are connected to the ServSwitch.
