How does the Switch allow the user to switch between ports?

The Switch supports three methods of port selection. The user can select servers using specially designated keyboard hot keys, through the On-Screen Display (OSD), or can independently access the desired port by pushing the direct-access port selectors.

How far can the server be from the Switch?

What is the maximum video resolution that the Switch supports?

The advanced video circuit in the Switch supports a maximum resolution of up to 1600x1200 @ 75Hz. Increasing the cable length from your Switch to your servers will result in lower resolution support.

Do I have to install any software to use the Switch?
