The PRO2s allow you to control up to a maximum of 256 computers with one keyboard, monitor, and mouse. They support PS/2 input devices (keyboard and mouse) as well as VGA, SVGA, XGA, and XGA-2 video.

They support both PS/2 and USB output. This enables cross-platform control over PCs and USB-based computers including USB Sunworkstations and Mac® computers.

Feature Overview

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. For a listing of complete hot key instructions and commands, see pages 17-19.

AutoScan:

The AutoScan feature allows you to set your PRO2 to scan and monitor the activities of all operating computers connected to the switch—one by one. The time interval allotted for each computer can be defined or adjusted through the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu. For complete instructions on AutoScan usage, please refer to page 18.

Video Resolution:

Through a 400MHz bandwidth, the PRO2s support video resolutions of up to 2048x1536@85Hz. To preserve signal integrity at these higher resolutions, your PRO2 requires 75-Ohm coaxial VGA cabling.

Flash Upgrade:

Flash upgradeable firmware allows you to install the latest firmware for your PRO2. This enables your PRO2 to maintain consistent compatibility with the latest devices and computers. Firmware upgrades are free for the life of your PRO2. Refer to the enclosed flash upgrade instruction document or visit us at belkin.com for complete upgrade information and support.

On-Screen Display (OSD):

The OSD feature simplifies server management by allowing you to assign individual names to each connected server throughout the system. It provides a visual means of switching between computers and setting the time interval for the AutoScan function.
