Overview
The CS-72M 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 SCSI-20 CPU port connectors, the CS-72M significantly reduces the number of ports required for a 2 Port KVM switch.
The special connector design provides several advantages over standard KVM switch implementations: 1) increased reliability; 2) a handsome, space-saving, vertical-standing, modern appearance; and 3) neater, more efficient, cabling that eliminates the usual tangled cable mess.
Recognizing the increased importance of sound in the computing environment, the CS-72M provides USB multimedia keyboard support, and is audio enabled. A single microphone can provide audio input to each of the computers, and you can listen to the audio output of each computer on a single set of speakers (on a one-at-a-time basis).
There are two convenient methods to access the computers: push button port selection switches located on the unit’s front panel; and Hotkey combinations entered from the keyboard.
Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate ports. There is no software to configure; no need to get involved in complex installation routines; no need to be concerned with incompatibility problems. Since the CS-72M intercepts keyboard and mouse input directly, it works on multiple hardware platforms and with most operating systems.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a CS-72M installation. By allowing a single console to manage both computers, the CS-72M eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor, mouse, and audio components 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.
