Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The ServSwitch™ DVI-D USB KVM with bidirectional USB and Audio combines USB
KVM, keyboard/video/mouse switching and USB peripheral sharing in one device.
Two models are available: 2-port (KV9632A) and 4-port (KV9634A). You can
easily operate up to four PCs, G3/G4 Macintosh® computers, or Mac® Pros
from a single USB keyboard, USB mouse, and monitor, saving you space, time,
equipment, and money. The peripheral sharing function enables you to share
more USB peripherals among all computers. The units also support bidirectional
audio. Users can switch among up to two or four KVM sources and control the
systems using a USB keyboard and mouse, USB peripherals, and bidirectional
audio, and view them with a DVI-D supported monitor.
Installation is as easy as connecting USB A-B cables between computers and the
ServSwitch DVI-D USB KVM. To select a port, just press the front-panel button(s).
The built-in USB hub ensures smooth switching from one computer to the other.
It reduces redundant cables and encourages a neat and tidy working environment.
The 4-port unit (KV9632A) also includes a FUNC button to adjust video signal
strength.
