Advanced Operation
Multi chassis operation involves independent access only.
Both users can simultaneously and independently access any computer attached to
the base APC KVM Switch unit. Similarly, independent access is possible across
expansion units as long as each user is accessing a different expansion unit.
For example, in the confi guration below, two users can access nine computers
through three APC KVM Switch units.
Shared Access
If both users need to access the same computer in the base unit, they can
‘share’ access to it through the APC KVM Switch. Sharing means that both
consoles can view a computer channel at the same time, but only one can
enter data through the keyboard or mouse at any given moment. As soon as
the active console stops all keyboard and mouse activity, the other console
can take control of the computer.
For information on access across multiple APC KVM Switch units, see ‘Multi
Chassis Operation’ below.
