Product Overview

Feature Overview

The SwitchView allows you to control multiple PCs, easily and affordably, with just one keyboard, monitor and mouse. There is no software to install or boards

to configure, so installation is simple. SwitchView works with IBM PC/AT and PS/2 systems with support for VGA and SVGA video. PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse peripherals are supported through the rear of the unit.

When you turn on your PCs, the SwitchView will boot up each one without interruption by sending out the proper signal to eliminate keyboard errors. PCs may be powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. The first available channel is automatically selected upon power-up.

You can switch computer channels two ways: via the Select button on the SwitchView front panel, or through a short keyboard sequence if the SwitchView is out of reach.

The SwitchView supports the following additional features:

•PS/2 mouse translation - your PS/2 mouse will work with any attached PC, regardless of whether the computer is serial or PS/2 mouse compatible!

•Extensive Mouse Support - The SwitchView offers full support for the Logitech MouseMan Wheel, Logitech Trackman Marble Wheel, Logitech Trackman Marble FX, Microsoft Explorer mouse and the Microsoft IntelliMouse family.

•Standard cables - use either Avocent-supplied or standard straight-through cables to attach comput- ers to the SwitchView unit.

•Built-in scanning feature - scan through all of your attached PCs automatically. Scan every PC for 2 to 60 seconds each.
