Section 1: System Features
The Thinklogical® OriginKVM 3125 is a high performance KVM Switch that enables one
user station to access and switch between three multi-platform servers or computers.
Each input can distribute two dual-link signals to dual-link monitors and can also distribute two
single-link resolution signals to single-link monitors.
The OriginKVM 3125 improves operational productivity from the simplest to the most
complex requirements for applications such as hardware/software development, test labs,
network server management and multi-work-station operations.
The OriginKVM 3125 is a 3 computer/1 user KVM switch that supports 2 dual-link DVI
video channels, RS232, line level audio for speakers, USB HID devices and a USB 2.0
port. Switching is performed by hotkeys or by using the out-of-band control menu, either on the
front panel or with the provided Remote Control Unit, connected by a CAT5 Cable. Video 1
and USB HID (Human Interface Device) are always switched simultaneously, while Video 2,
Audio, RS232, and USB 2.0 can be switched individually. This convenience allows the transfer
of large amounts of data between a computer and storage device, while maintaining the user
interface of a different computer.
The USB HID ports emulate a keyboard and mouse so that the connected computers do not
need to re-acquire their capabilities each time a switch is made, so they are immediately
available upon switching. The USB HID port supports many USB touch-screens and tablets.
