KVM: Literally “Keyboard Video Mouse”, this term refers to technology that
allows two or more computers to be controlled by one keyboard, video monitor,
and mouse; some switches that use KVM technology enable sharing of other
peripherals such as audio speakers, microphones, and printers.
KVM Switch: A device that allows a user to access and control multiple servers
from a single console. It has at least one console port and multiple server ports.
OSD: On-Screen Display, a Graphical User Interface that can be used to control
and configure the KVM switch.
Port: An interface receptor on a server through which you can attach a device
or plug in a device cable.
Primary KVM Switch: The KVM switch that is connected to the console and is
set to BANK address 00.
Secondary KVM Switch: Any KVM switch that is daisy-chained to the primary
KVM switch and is set to BANK address 01–15 (and has no
console connected).
