Avocent SwitchView Manual De Usuario

The SwitchView allows you to control multiple PCs, 

easily and affordably, with just one keyboard, monitor 

and mouse. There is no software to install or boards 

to configure, so installation is simple. SwitchView works 

with IBM PC/AT and PS/2 systems with support for 

VGA and SVGA video. PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse 

peripherals are supported through the rear of the unit.

When you turn on your PCs, the SwitchView will boot 

up each one without interruption by sending out the 

proper signal to eliminate keyboard errors. PCs may be 

powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. The first avail-

able channel is automatically selected upon power-up. 

You can switch computer channels two ways: via the 

Select button on the SwitchView front panel, or through a 

short keyboard sequence if the SwitchView is out of reach.

The SwitchView supports the following additional features:

 • 

PS/2 mouse translation - your PS/2 mouse will 

work with any attached PC, regardless of whether 

the computer is serial or PS/2 mouse compatible! 

 

•    Extensive Mouse Support - The SwitchView 

offers full support for the Logitech MouseMan 

Wheel, Logitech Trackman Marble Wheel, Logitech 

Trackman Marble FX, Microsoft Explorer mouse and 

the Microsoft IntelliMouse family.

 

• 

Standard cables - use either Avocent-supplied or 

standard straight-through cables to attach comput-

ers to the SwitchView unit.

 

• 

Built-in scanning feature - scan through all of 

your attached PCs automatically. Scan every PC for 

2 to 60 seconds each.
