Overview
SwitchMan is the desktop KVM (keyboard, video, mouse) switch for those who run more than one computer at a desk. By having only one keyboard, monitor, and mouse, you reclaim your desktop while saving time and money. SwitchMan uses the same bulletproof design as Raritan's professional-grade products and is available in two-channel and four­channel models.
Raritan's unique keyboard and mouse emulation technology dedicates individual processors to each channel. Every computer continuously "sees" its own keyboard and mouse to ensure flawless booting and switching. You can select computers by touching individual channel buttons on the front panel or by using simple hot-key commands.
SwitchMan's versatile design gives you the choice of either a horizontal or a space-saving vertical installation. Standard features like Scan and LED indicators make operation of SwitchMan simple and convenient. Connect your computers to SwitchMan by using industry standard KVM cables. For the highest resolution video, use Raritan's premium tangle-proof cables. Plug your standard PS/2 keyboard, VGA monitor, and PS/2 mouse right into SwitchMan.
