Overview

The Master view CS-102U represents a revolutionary new direction in KVM Switches: a dual function 2 Port KVM Switch plus 2 Port USB Hub control unit. The CS-102U incorporates USB technology to handle the data connection between itself and the connected computers, and to provide two USB ports for peripheral devices that the connected computers can share.

As a KVM switch, the CS-102U allows access to two computer systems from a single console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor) utilizing the USB connection for the console's keyboard and mouse. At the same time, it allows the two PCs and/or Macs to utilize the USB port connection to access two USB peripheral devices (printers, scanners, modems, etc.), on a "one computer at a time" basis.

Installation and operation are as easy as can be. Simply connect the cables. The computers recognize the USB peripherals the first time they come in contact with them and automatically install the necessary drivers. There is no other software installation necessary. You select the active computer by simply pressing an electronic push button switch on the unit's top panel.

Before the development of the Master View, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system. Now, with the Master View CS-102U, you can easily access up to two computers and two USB peripheral devices in a cost effective manner.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a Master View CS-102U installation. By allowing a single console to manage both of the attached computers and USB peripherals, the Master View CS-102U eliminates the expense of purchasing separate keyboards, monitors, mice, and peripherals for each system. Moreover, it saves all the extra space they would take up, and eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort involved in constantly having to move from one computer to the other.
