Plug and Play
The KVM Switch supports Plug and Play video and is compliant with the VESA
DDC2B standard.
Mouse translation
For added compatibility with your current equipment, KVM Switch features mouse
translation capability. Operated through the KVM Switch, your mouse will work with
any attached computer- regardless of whether the computer is Sun, USB, serial or PS/2
mouse compatible!
Expansion for up to 64 computers
A KVM Switch unit will support from one to eight attached computers, or channels.
If more than eight channels are needed, multiple units can be cascaded together
for expansion. Up to two tiers of units can be connected for a total of 64 attached
computers in one system.
Keep Alive feature
KVM Switchʼs Keep Alive feature allows attached servers to power the unit in the
event of a KVM Switch power failure. This prevents attached computers from locking
up and keeps you from losing time and data.
OSD Configuration Utility
The OSD Configuration Utility allows the administrator to easily configure and
download a channel list with defined users and access privileges to the entire system.
This utility will also read and save your current configuration for extra security.
AutoBoot technology
The AutoBoot feature boots all attached servers during initial power-up or after a
power failure. Computers are booted transparently without operator intervention, and
may be powered-up one at a time or all at once. When the power stabilizes, a channel
may be selected.
