KH1508i / KH1516i User Manual

For local access, the KH1508i / KH1516i supports resolutions of up to 1600 x 1200, as well as 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz for an extended distance of up to 40 m. For remote access, the switches support up to 1280 x 1024 @ 75Hz.

The switches feature RJ-45 connectors and CAT 5 cable to link to the computers. Utilizing PS/2, USB, and serial KVM Adapter Cables for the final linkup, the KH1508i / KH1516i permits any combination of PCs, Macs, Sun computers, and serial devices to coexist on the installation. Use of the adapter cables dramatically reduces cable clutter, and makes reconfiguring the installation easy and convenient.

A custom ASIC (patent pending) provides an auto-sensing function that recognizes the position of each station on the chain, eliminating the need to manually set the position with DIP switches. A seven segment front panel LED displays each Station's position for easy identification.

The KH1508i / KH1516i has been designed to work seamlessly with the ALTUSEN CC1000 Control Center Over the NET™ for ease of access and administration. It also allows the IP address configuration to be easily configured from the local console OSD.

Your KH1508i / KH1516i investment is protected by a firmware upgrade utility. You can stay current with the latest improvements in functionality by downloading firmware update files from our website, and using the utility to quickly and conveniently install them.

Setting up the KH1508i / KH1516i is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed.

A convenient Auto Scan function also permits automatic scanning and one-by-one monitoring of the activities of selected computers.
