Overview
The Master View CS-82A 4 Port KVM (Keyboard, Video,
Mouse), Switch is a control unit that allows access to two
computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor and
mouse). 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-82A, you can easily access two
computers in a cost effective manner.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate
ports is all that is entailed. There is no software to configure;
there are no installation routines, and no incompatibility
problems. Since the Master View CS-82A intercepts keyboard
input directly, it works on any hardware platform and with all
operating systems.
The Master View CS-82A provides two convenient methods to
access the computers connected to the system: 1) push button
Port Selection Switches located on the unit’s front panel; and 2)
Hotkey combinations entered from the keyboard.
There is no better way to save time and money than with a
Master View CS-82A installation. Since a single console
manages all of the computers, the CS-82A setup: 1) eliminates
the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard,
monitor, and mouse for each computer; 2) saves all the space
those extra components would take up; 3) saves on energy
costs; and 4) eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort
involved in constantly moving around from one computer to
another.
