Overview
The CS-72E KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse), Switch is a control unit that allows access to two computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and mouse). With its custom designed connectors, the CS-72E 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; and 3) neater, more efficient, cabling that eliminates the usual tangled cable mess.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure; no need to get involved in complex installation routines; and no need to be concerned with incompatibility problems. Since the CS-72E intercepts keyboard and mouse input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all operating systems.
The CS-72E provides two convenient computer access methods: 1) toggling the KVM focus from one to the other 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 a CS-72E installation. By allowing a single console to manage both computers, the CS-72E 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.
