Overview
The CS-521 or CS-522 KVM Switch is a control unit that allows
access to two computer systems from a single console
(keyboard, monitor, and mouse).
The CS-521 / CS-522 improves on previous models with a 50%
smaller desktop footprint plus built-in custom KVM cables for
trouble-free installation and a neat and tidy workspace.
For increased efficiency and cable compactness, each of the
CS-522’s cables use a USB connector (rather than two PS/2
connectors) to transfer keyboard and mouse input to the
computer.
For backward compatibility, only one of the CS-521’s cables
uses a USB connector. Its other cable uses the traditional two
PS/2 connectors to transmit keyboard and mouse input.
Recognizing the increased importance of sound, the CS-521 /
CS-522 is speaker enabled. You can listen to the audio output
of both computers (one at a time) on a single set of speakers
attached the the Switch.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate
ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure, no
installation routines, and no incompatibility problems. Since the
CS-521 / CS-522 intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on
any hardware platform and with all operating systems. The
KVM focus is switched among the computers by means of
simple Hot Key combinations entered from the keyboard.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a
CS-521 / CS-522 installation. By allowing a single console to
manage both computers, the CS-521 / CS-522 eliminates the
expense of purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor, and
mouse for each. Additionally, it saves 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.
