2- AND 4-PORT SERVSWITCH DT PRO II
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The 2- or 4-Port ServSwitch™ DT Pro II KVM Switch is the most comprehensive desktop switch to date. It’s flexible: Use it to connect a PS/2 keyboard, video, and mouse to PS/2 CPUs, USB KVM to PS/2 CPUs, PS/2 KVM to USB CPUs, or USB KVM to USB CPUs. Supported mice include Microsoft® IntelliMouse® and other mice, and the ServSwitch unit’s USB ports comply with USB 2.0 requirements. Plus, you can connect audio and USB 2.0 peripherals to the KVM switch.
Using a hotkey command sequence (see Section 4.3), you can asynchronously switch the KVM control and the USB devices. And the ServSwitch works with common operating systems, including Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, Windows NT®, Linux, Novell® NetWare, and Mac OS.
Setup is fast and simple, and there’s no software to configure. Its small desktop footprint is ideal for on or under your desktop. Use either front-panel buttons on the ServSwitch or hotkeys (which are key sequences on your keyboard) to select ports or start AutoScan. The front-panel buttons include integral LEDs. The LED will light with the corresponding active port when manually switching between the computers. The ServSwitch beeps to confirm that it’s in hotkey mode. The AutoScan function enables you to automatically scan and monitor all computers, one by one, that are connected to the ServSwitch.
