Feature Overview
The SwitchView SC is specifi cally designed to make data transfer between connected
computers virtually impossible. Users who access secure and unsecure networks
from one set of peripherals can rely on the unique architecture of the SwitchView
SC to keep their private data completely separate and secure at all times. With no
software to install or boards to confi gure, installation is simple.
The SwitchView SC allows you to control up to eight PCs with one keyboard, monitor
and mouse. Each computer can be up to 30 feet away from the SwitchView SC unit.
The unit works with IBM PC/AT and PS/2 systems, and 100% compatible machines
with support for VGA, SVGA, XGA and XGA-II video. PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse
peripherals are supported through the rear of the unit. A SwitchView SC will support
from one to eight attached PCs, or channels.
The AutoBoot feature boots all attached servers during initial power up or after a
power failure. PCs are booted transparently without operator intervention, and may
be powered up one at a time or all at once. When the power stabilizes, a channel
may be selected. The fi rst available channel is automatically selected upon power
up of the SwitchView SC unit.

Switch computer channels quickly and easily via the SwitchView SC
