OVERVIEW

FEATURE OVERVIEW

PS/2 and USB Mix-and-Match Keyboard

The KVM Switch enables you to use either USB or PS/2-type keyboard and mouse to control computers via either their USB or PS/2 interfaces.

Video Resolution

The KVM Switch offers support for video resolutions up to 2048x1536@85Hz through a 400MHz video bandwidth.

Multi-Console Support

By daisy-chaining additional KVM Switches to the Primary Console, the number of users can expand up to as many as four consoles. All four users can simultaneously control up to 128 computers when used with the 8-Port KVM Switch, or as many as 256 when using the 16-Port KVM Switch.

IntelliView Graphical On-Screen Display (OSD) with Mouse Support

IntelliView simplifies server management by allowing you to assign individual names to each connected server throughout the system. Groups of computers can also be created, allowing you to efficiently organize your enterprise. IntelliView also provides a visual means of switching between computers, enables the user to check computer connection status, offers multilevel security, and enables the time interval to be adjusted for the AutoScan function.

Hot Keys

Hot key functionality allows you to select a desired port using designated key commands. By using a simple hot key sequence on your keyboard, selecting one computer from as many as 128 computers is instantaneous.

AutoScan

The AutoScan feature allows you to set your KVM Switch to scan and monitor the activities of all computers connected to the KVM—one by one. The time interval allotted for each computer can be defined or adjusted through the On-Screen Display (OSD) menu.

OVERVIEW

AutoUpdate™

Our exclusive AutoUpdate system and flash-upgradeable firmware allow you to obtain the latest firmware upgrades for your KVM Switch, when necessary. This enables your KVM Switch to maintain consistent compatibility with the latest devices and computers. Firmware updates are free for the life of your KVM Switch. Refer to the enclosed AutoUpdate instruction document, or visit us at belkin.com for complete update information and support.

Direct-Access Port Selectors

Located conveniently on the front panel of the KVM Switch, direct-access port selectors allow for simple, manual port selection. Each button controls a port.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) Display

The LED display on the front panel of the KVM Switch functions as a status monitor. An LED above each direct-access port selector lights to indicate that the Console currently controls the corresponding server.

7-Segment LED Display

In standalone mode, the 7-segment LED display indicates the port that has been selected. When daisy-chaining multiple KVM Switches together, the 7-segment LED displays the BANK address number. During the computer-selection process, the 7-segment LED will briefly indicate the BANK that is being selected; this allows the user to select any computer directly from the front panel.
