Overview

The CS231 / CS231TK is a powerful, micro-processor controlled computer sharing device. It is a multi-user, single-tasking device that enables two users to share the use of a single USB or PS/2 computer from two separate consoles (USB keyboard, USB mouse, and monitor).
The CS231 / CS231TK is ideal for small office and home office (SOHO) environments. All programs, files and resources on the computer can be easily accessed and shared by both users without the bother and expense of setting up a costly network environment.
CS231TK is CS231 that bundled with KVM over IP Access Control Box. The 2XRT-0015G KVM over IP Access Control Box allows users to enable or disable remote over IP control privilege by simply pressing a control button.
It’s fast and easy to set up the 2XRT-0015G. Simply plug the 2XRT-0015G’s cables to the CS231 / CS231TK. There is no need to install software or configure devices - just plug and play,.
In addition, the cable length of the 2XRT-0015G reaches 5 meters, enabling connection to the transmitter over longer distances for more flexible installation.
