The CS152F 2-Port KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple
computers from a single console (keyboard, monitor and mouse). Before the
development of the CS152F, the only way to control multiple computer configurations
from a single console was through a complex and costly network system. Now, with the
CS152F, you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective manner.

The CS152F unit can control up to 2 PCs, all from a single console.
Setup is fast and easy; all that is required is for the user to plug the cables into the

appropriate ports. There is no software to configure, so there is no need to get involved
in complex installation routines or to be concerned with incompatibility problems. Since
the CS152F intercepts keyboard input directly, it works on any hardware platform and
with all

operating systems.

The CS152F provides two convenient methods to access any PC connected to the system:
(1) using the push button port selection switch located on top of the unit's panel; (2)
entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard. In addition, a powerful Quick View
Scan feature allows you to auto scan and monitor the activities of all operating PCs on the
installation one by one.

There is no better way to save time and money. By allowing a single console to manage
all the attached PCs, the CS152F eliminates the expense of purchasing a separate
keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each PC, and saves all the extra space as well. It also
eliminates the inconvenience and unnecessary effort involved in constantly moving
around from one PC to another.
