Black Box KV1106A Manual De Usuario

 

 
Thank you for purchasing a BLACK BOX® ServSwitch Panther! We appreciate your 
business, and we think you’ll appreciate the many ways that your new ServSwitch 
Panther will save you money, time, and effort. 
 
That’s because our ServSwitch family is all about breaking away from the traditional, 
expensive model of computer management. You know, the one-size-fits-all-even-if-it- 
doesn’t model that says, “One computer gets one user station, no more, no less.” Why 
not a single user station (monitor, keyboard, and mouse) for multiple computers – even 
computers of different platforms? Why not a pair of user stations, each of which can 
control multiple computers? Why not multiple user stations for the same computer? 
 
With our ServSwitch products, there’s no reason why not. We carry a broad line of 
robust solutions for all these applications. Do you have just two PC’s, and need an 
economical alternative to keeping two monitors, keyboards and mice on your desk? Or 
do you need to share dozens of computers, including a mix of IBM®PC, RS/6000®, 
Apple® Macintosh®, Sun Microsystems®, and SGI 

TM

 compatibles among multiple 

users with different access levels? Does your switch have to sit solidly on a work-table 
and use regular everyday cables? Or does it have to be mounted in an equipment rack 
and use convenient many-to-one cables? No matter how large or small your set-up is, 
no matter how simple or how complex, we are confident we have a ServSwitch system 
that’s just right for you.
