Overview
One-Console KVM Switches
The KVM Switch allows you to access multiple computers from one
keyboard, mouse and monitor. There is no interface card or
software to configure. Installation is as easy as connecting cables
between the KVM Switch and your computers. Operation is as
simple as pressing push button, entering hot-key command and
navigating through the user-friendly on-screen menu (available on
models with OSD support). Depending on the model you have, it
switches up to 4 (KNV104), 8 (KNV108) or 16 (KNV116D)
IBM-compatible computers. The KVM Switch is independent of the
computer operating system.
Two-Console KVM Switches
The advanced multi-access KVM Switches enable you to control
multiple computers from one out of two locations, remote or local
with two keyboards, mice and monitors. KNV2108D controls 8
computers and KNV2116D controls 16 computers.
On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu
