Product Features

PS/2 and USB Mix-and-Match Keyboard

The KVM Switch enables you to use either USB or PS/2-type keyboard and mouse to control computers via either their USB or PS/2 interfaces.

Video Resolution

The KVM Switch offers support for video resolutions up to 2048x1536@85Hz through a 400MHz video bandwidth.

Multi-Console Support

By daisy-chaining additional KVM Switches or Expander units to the Primary console, the number of users can expand up to as many as four consoles. All four users can simultaneously control up to 128 computers when used with additional 8-Port KVM Switches, or as many as 256 when using the 16-Port KVM Switches.

IntelliView Graphical On-Screen Display (OSD) with Mouse Support

The IntelliView Graphical OSD feature simplifies server management by allowing you to assign individual names to each connected server throughout the system. Groups of computers can also be created, allowing you to efficiently organize your enterprise. IntelliView also provides a visual means of switching between computers, enables the user to check computer connection status, offers multilevel security, and enables the time interval to be adjusted for the AutoScan function.

Hot Keys

Hot key functionality allows you to select a desired port using designated key commands. By using a simple hot key sequence on your keyboard, selecting one computer from as many as 256 computers is instantaneous.

AutoScan

The AutoScan feature allows you to set your KVM Switch to scan and monitor the activities of all computers connected to it—one by one. The time interval allotted for each computer can be defined or adjusted through the IntelliView menu.
