KVM switch is a control device which controls multiple computers from a single
console (keyboard, video and mouse), as many as 512 computers can be controlled
from the original console. There is no better way to save space, time and money than
with a KVM switch installation. By using the KVM switch to manage your installation,
you will gain below benefits: (1) eliminate the expense of purchasing separate
keyboards, monitors and mice; (2) save all the space those extra components would
take up; (3) save space that a keyboard, monitor and mouse would take with a
standard KVM switch; (4) save on energy costs; and (5) eliminate the inconvenience
and wasted effort involved in constantly having to move from on computer to another.
It is easy and fast to install the KVM switch, you just need to connect corresponding
cables to the right ports of the KVM.Since the KVM directly get the signal input from
the keyboard and mouse, there is no software setup or other complex installation, so
no worry about compatibility.
Easily access to any computer just via pushbuttons on the front panel or invoke OSD
menu. Convenient auto-scan allows you to auto-scan and monitor the selected
computer.
