Overview

The CS-62B KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to
two computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor, and
mouse). Before the development of the CS-62B, the only way
to control multiple computer configurations from a single
console was through a complex and costly network system.
Now, with the CS-62B KVM Switch, you can easily access two
computers in a cost effective manner.

The CS-62B improves on previous models with a 50% smaller
footprint and attached custom KVM cables, resulting in a neat
and tidy workspace and trouble-free installation.

Recognizing the increased importance of sound, the CS-62B is
microphone and speaker enabled. You can input sound to both
computers (one at a time) and listen to the audio output of both
computers (one at a time) on a single microphone and single
set of speakers.

Setup is fast and easy: plugging cables into their ports is all that
is entailed. The KVM focus is toggled between the computers
by means of simple Hotkey combinations entered from the
keyboard.

There is no software to configure and no installation routines.
Since the CS-62B intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on
any hardware platform and with all operating systems.

There is no better way to save time and money than with a
CS-62B KVM switch. By allowing a single console to manage
both computers, the CS-62B eliminates the expense of
purchasing a separate keyboard, monitor, microphone,
speakers 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.
