Built-in scanning capabilities
A built-in scanning feature allows you to automatically monitor, or scan, connected
computers without intervention. When keyboard activity is detected, scanning is suspended
until all activity stops. Scanning then resumes with the next channel in sequence.
Push-button & keyboard switching
In addition to using the on-screen menus, you can switch computer channels in one of
three easy ways: via the KVM Switch channel push-buttons, with the Scan button or
with a simple keyboard sequence.
Status indicator LEDs
Indicator LEDs give you constant readings on the status of your KVM Switch unit.
Status, scanning and channel LEDs take the guesswork out of system operation and
diagnostics.
A typical KVM Switch configuration is shown below.
Compatibility
XGA/XGA-II support
