Overview
The CS-72A KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse), Switch is a control unit that allows the control of two computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). With its custom designed connectors, the CS-72A reduces the number of ports required for a 2 Port KVM switch from 9 (6 PS/2 and 3 HDB) to only 3 (2 custom designed SPDB-15 female connectors for the computer attachments, and a single, integrated, custom designed SPDB-15 male connector for the keyboard, video, and mouse).
The special connector design provides several advantages over standard KVM switch implementations: 1) increased reliability; 2) a handsome, space-saving, vertical-standing, modern appearance; 3) neater, more efficient, cabling that eliminates the usual tangled mess.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure, so there is no need to get involved in complex installation routines or be concerned with incompatibility problems. Since the CS-72A intercepts keyboard and mouse input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all operating systems.
The CS-72A provides two convenient methods to access the computers: 1) toggling the KVM focus from one computer to the next by pressing the push button port selection switches located on the unit’s front panel; and switching directly to the target computer by entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard.
There is no better way to save time and money than with an CS-72A installation. By allowing a single console to manage both computers, the CS-72A eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each one. Additionally, it saves the extra space and energy costs that they would require, and eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly having to move from one computer to the other.
