OVERVIEW

Feature Overview

Quad-Bus Technology

Our proprietary way to enable multiple Switches to be daisy-chained together; Belkin quad-bus KVM products let you expand up to a maximum of four consoles to simultaneously control up to 256 computers.

CAT5 Extension Technology

This included feature lets users control their servers from up to 1000 feet away from the Switch.

Integrated Dual-Console Support*

For simultaneous control of up to 256 computers, this gives you the capability to connect two consoles.

IntelliView Graphical On-Screen Display (OSD)

The IntelliView feature simplifies server management by allowing you to assign individual names to each connected server throughout the system. You can also create groups of computers, which you can use to organize your computers.

IntelliView provides a visual means of switching between computers, checking computer connection status; offers multilevel security; and sets the time interval for the AutoScan function.

PS/2 & USB Mix-and-Match Keyboard and Mouse Support

The Switch enables you to use either USB- or PS/2-type keyboards and mice to control computers. Servers can be attached via either the computer’s USB or PS/2 interfaces by using the custom ENTERPRISE Series Dual-Port KVM Cables.

AutoUpdate™

The exclusive AutoUpdate system from Belkin provides you with flash-upgrade firmware updates for your Switch. This allows you to maintain consistent compatibility with the latest devices and computers. Firmware updates are free for the life of your Switch. Please visit us at belkin.com for complete update information and support.

Video Resolution

The maximum video resolution supported by the Switch depends on the distance between the Switch and the connected servers. At 250 feet, a 2048x1536 resolution is achieved; at 500 feet, 1280x1024; and at 1000 feet, 800x600. Higher resolutions may be obtained at 500 and 1000 feet with degraded video quality.
