CHAPTER 1 GETTING ST AR TED

1-1 Introduction

KD9258 LCD KVM console control panel integrates keyboard, widescreen LCD display and
touch pad in a drawer type worktable and provides a convenient space-saving operation mode for
KVM switch technology . The cover is an widescreen LCD display, while the base is keyboard and
touchpad. Buckles on the left and right are moved aside to open the cover . It can be operated once the
KVM module is pulled out. Once the operation is completed, push the KVM module back to the rack.

KD9258 console is a control device integrating 15.6” LCD, 86-key keyboard, touchpad mouse
and 8-port connection KVM. Y ou can access multiple host s using the LCD console while saving money
and efforts.

A single KD9258 LCD KVM can control up to 8 hosts. In addition, it has independent cascade
connection port, so KD9258 console can be connected in series to control 512 hosts. Since LCD
KVM series supports hosts of both PS/2 and USB port, KVM cable of PS/2 or USB connector can be
selected for hosts depending on cables connecting the switcher and host.

Major features include OSD menu, password secrity mechanism, hotkey control and auto­scanning. Keyboard and mouse simulation can boot computers at the same time. All hosts connected
can be accessed conveniently via OSD (On Screen Display) activated by keyboard or through hotkey
combination input. The auto-scanning feature can automatically scan and monitor operation status of
each host connected. It is simple and convenient to install the LCD KVM, just inserting cables to corre­sponding ports. No installation disk or complicated installation program is needed, and no compatibil­ity problem exists.

LCD KVM eries is the best choice to save time and efforts. Since all hosts can be controlled
from a single main control terminal, using the LCD KVM console: (1) avoids the cost of keyboard,
mouse and monitor of each host; (2) saves work space; (3) saves pwer; (4) saves the trouble of mov­ing from one computer to another.

*For Mac and Sun hosts, USB cable must be used for connection.
