Plug and play

The APC KVM Switch supports Plug and Play video and is compliant with the VESA DDC2B standard.

Mouse translation

For added compatibility with your current equipment, APC KVM Switch features mouse translation capability. Operated through the APC KVM Switch, your mouse will work with any attached computer- regardless of whether the computer is Sun, USB, serial or PS/2 mouse compatible!

Expansion for up to 64 computers

An APC KVM Switch unit will support from one to eight attached computers, or channels. If more than eight channels are needed, multiple units can be cascaded together for expansion. Up to two tiers of units can be connected for a total of 64 attached computers in one system.

“Keep Alive” feature

APC KVM Switch’s “Keep Alive” feature allows attached servers to power the unit in the event of an APC KVM Switch power failure. This prevents attached computers from locking up and keeps you from losing time and data.

OSD Configuration Utility

The OSD Configuration Utility allows the administrator to easily configure and download a channel list with defined users and access privileges to the entire system. This utility will also read and save your current configuration for extra security.

AutoBoot Technology

The AutoBoot feature boots all attached servers during initial power-up or after a power failure. Computers are booted transparently without operator intervention, and may be powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. When the power stabilizes, a channel may be selected.

Built-in scanning capabilities

A built-in scanning feature allows you to automatically monitor, or scan, connected computers without intervention. When keyboard activity is detected, scanning is suspended until all activity stops. Scanning then resumes with the next channel in sequence.
