8-Station KVM Switch
Introduction
The ProConnect
®
8-Station KVM Switch from Linksys lets you take instant
command over multiple desktop or notebook PCs — all from a single key-
board, mouse, and monitor! Switch between PCs with the press of a key, or use
the cycling feature to switch automatically at pre-selected time intervals. Got a
notebook PC? Plug it into the switch and control it from your desktop PC’s full-
sized keyboard, monitor, and mouse — it’s like having your own docking sta-
tion!
Built to last, the ProConnect
®
8-Station KVM Switch virtually eliminates cable
swapping while saving you hundreds of dollars in storage space and hardware
costs. It’s the perfect choice for any file server fleet, Internet, or test site where
you need to manage PCs quickly and easily.
