5.1 Advanced Operation- Multiuser Operation

The APC KVM Switch provides advanced features. Primarily, it offers the benefit of adding a Remote User Receiver to provide for a remote user that may be located up to 500 feet away from the APC KVM Switch. The remote user has all the capabilities of the local user and can access any computer attached to the APC KVM Switch system just as if he were sitting in front of it.

Within the base unit, there are two ways to utilize the multiuser capabilities of the APC KVM Switch. You can access computers independently or share access with the other user.

Independent Access

As long as both users are trying to access computers attached to the base APC KVM Switch unit, they may access any of them independently at the same time. In the diagram below, either user may access any of the attached computers at any time. They may also share access to any of the attached computers.
