Overview

The CV211 Laptop USB Console Adapter provides a direct Laptop-to-Computer connection with instant desktop access. Through its USB 2.0 and VGA cables, the CV211 gives a laptop direct access*, bi-directional file transfers, video recording and screenshots on the connected computer. Simply connect the cables between a laptop and computer for fast and easy remote desktop access with no software to install.

In addition to offering simple plug-and-play desktop KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) access to servers, the CV211 also allows you to transfer files between the two computers using an innovative virtual media function through our intuitive graphical user interface (GUI).

The intuitive GUI console application can be run from the CV211 or copied to and run on the laptop to provide access to the target computer. The console window can be adjusted to fit the size and resolution of the target computer's desktop by resizing the pane automatically. This allows you to view the entire desktop of a the target computer without needing to use a scroll bar. The CV211 provides IT professionals with an effective hardware-based access tool that offers direct Laptop-to-Computer desktop control at any target computer's location.

Note: The CV21 1 offers plug-and-play console functionality that

gives you complete control of the connected computer from a laptop.
