a 1U system rack. Because of its modular design, the KVM section can
be detached from the switch section. If you ever need to expand your
connections, you can remove the 8 port Switch module; and replace it
with a 16 port Switch module.
Your ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL investment is protected by an
included Firmware Upgrade Utility. You can stay current with the latest
functionality improvements by downloading firmware update files from
our website as they become available, and using the utility to quickly
and conveniently perform the upgrade.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all
that is entailed. Because the ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL intercepts
keyboard input directly, there is no software to configure; no need to get
involved in complex installation routines; nor any need to be concerned
with incompatibility problems.
Access to any computer connected to the installation is easily accom-
plished either by entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard, or
by means of a powerful mouse driven OSD (On Screen Display) menu
system. A convenient Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning
and monitoring of the activities of all computers running on the instal-
lation one by one.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a Master View
ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL installation. By using the Master View
ACS-1208AL / ACS-1216AL with its Slideaway
console to manage
your installation, you: (1) eliminate the expense of having to purchase
a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each computer; (2) save
all the space those extra components would take up; (3) save the space
that a keyboard, monitor, and mouse would take with a standard KVM
switch; (4) save on energy costs; and (5) eliminate the inconvenience
and wasted effort involved in constantly moving from one computer to
another.
