Overview
Overview
The MiniView TM SE GCS82A & GCS84A KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) Switch is a control unity that allows
access to two computers from a single console (keyboard, mouse and monitor). Before the development of
the MiniView SE, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a
complex and costly network system.
Setup is fast and easy, plugging cables into their appropriate posts is all that is entailed. We have arrange so
the 2 PS/2 console ports are on the front of the unit for easy and convenient access. There is no software to
configure, so there is no need to get involved in complex installation routines or be concerned with incompat-
ibility problems. Since the MiniView
TM SE GCS82A & GCS84A intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on
any hardware platform and with all operating systems.
The MiniView TM SE GCS82A & GCS84A provides two convenient methods to access the computers
connected to the system using push button selection switches located on the units front panel and entering
Hotkey combinations from the keyboard.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a MiniView TM SE GCS82A or GCS84A. By allowing
a single console to manage the attached computers, the MiniView TM SE GCS82A & GCS84A eliminate the
expense of purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor and mouse. Additionally, it saves space taken up by the
additional hardware and eliminates the inconvenience of switching from the different computer systems.
