Introduction

The SwitchView1000 switch is a 4, 8 or 16-port keyboard, video and mouse (KVM) appliance that supports both USB and PS/2 interfaces. With the capacity to daisy-chain up to 16 levels, the SwitchView 1000 switch also allows direct channel selection via three different methods: on-screen display (OSD), front-panel push-buttons or keyboard hotkeys.

Time-out and password protection offer secure access to the SwitchView 1000 switch, while the hot-plug feature allows for uninterrupted switching and usage.
