1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing LevelOne KVM-0831/1631 Combo KVM Switch. The KVM

Switches offer the most reliable and efficient way of managing multiple computers in server

rooms where space is at a premium. On Screen Display (OSD) features computer naming,

computer selection, status indication, auto scan and much more. Up to 128 servers can be

easily managed by cascading multiple KVM switches to expand the capacity.

Revolutionized video enhancement technology ensures superb quality up to 1920 x 1440.

KVM-0831/1631 supports host PC with PS/2 and USB interface. The convenient HDDB-15

to VGA+PS/2+USB cable allows user to connect to different kinds of PC interfaces by the

same cable. Users no longer need to prepare two kinds of cables for their PCs or servers

with different kinds of interfaces. Users can save their time and cost when building their

system.

Besides the USB console port, KVM-0831/1631 support an optional module which provide

Cat.5 remote console for users to access KVM switch remotely with the KVM-9007 Cat.5

Receiver. After making connection between KVM switch and Cat.5 receiver by Cat.5/5e/6

cable, users can control their system remotely and the distance can be up to 300 meters.

Users can use their existing LAN cables to do the remote control, this also saves their cost

and reduce the complexity. Some server room environments are too noisy for people or

unsuitable to work there for a long time, this remote control feature is an ideal solution for

these situations.
