Product Overview

A built-in scanning feature allows you to automatically monitor, or scan, connected 

computers without intervention. When keyboard activity is detected, scanning is suspended 

until all activity stops. Scanning then resumes with the next channel in sequence. 

In addition to using the on-screen menus, you can switch computer channels in one of 

three easy ways: via the KVM Switch channel push-buttons, with the Scan button or 

with a simple keyboard sequence. 

Indicator LEDs give you constant readings on the status of your KVM Switch unit. 

Status, scanning and channel LEDs take the guesswork out of system operation and 

diagnostics.
A typical KVM Switch configuration is shown below.

If you wish to use XGA or XGA-II video, you will need to purchase an adapter.
