Raritan's keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switches are engineered to provide reliable, cost-effective,
central control of multiple computers. This eliminates the cost and clutter of unnecessary

MasterConsole II enables control of any mix of 2 to 256 computers from a single keyboard,
monitor, and mouse. The MasterConsole II user interface provides simple on-screen control and
system management. Raritan's unique emulation technology dedicates a keyboard/mouse
emulator for each computer to ensure that each computer always 'sees' its own keyboard and
mouse. This means smooth, flawless switching and operation, even when computers are running
the most demanding operating systems.
