FEATURES
Want the option of using either a PS/2
®
or USB keyboard
and mouse to control a number of PS/2 and USB servers?
The 8- and 16-port ServSwitch
™
EC for PS/2 and USB
Servers makes it all possible.
Perfect for areas where you have a mix of servers and console
control devices, this ServSwitch has a rear-panel slide switch that
you use to select either PS/2 or USB console mode.
Models are available for switching between 4, 8, or 16 servers
from a single console. To expand your switching platform to include
additional servers—up to 136 in all with the 16-port model—simply
cascade units in a master-slave configuration.
Ideal for applications where you have a limited amount of space,
the 1U-high ServSwitch EC can be used on the desktop. As an added
space-saving feature, the switch requires just one HD15 connector for
each server connection. Keyboard, monitor, and mouse circuitry is
built into a single connector.
The ServSwitch EC for PS/2 and USB Servers and PS/2 or USB
Consoles also has on-screen display (OSD) features for switching
between servers and managing server connections. Navigate through
the OSD menus using a function key, and use the OSD interface to
view each port’s connection status, lock a server from unauthorized
access, and even assign server names that are up to 14 characters
long. The switch stores all name entries in non-volatile memory.
You can also switch servers by pushing front-panel buttons or by
using a sequence of hotkeys. Or let the switch do it automatically for
you with its AutoScan function, which enables the ServSwitch EC to
scan and switch between servers at an interval you determine. When
AutoScan detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the
scanning until activity stops, then resumes with the next computer
in sequence.
With video enhancement technology that ensures superb quality
and resolutions up to 1920 x 1440, the ServSwitch EC is DDC2B
compatible, so you can use it with the latest digital monitors. What’s
more, the switch is operating system independent and transparent
to all applications.
NOTE: When cascading multiple units, the master must have the same
number as or more ports than the slave. The ServSwitch EC for PS/2 and
USB Servers can also be cascaded with PS/2 only models (KV9004A,
KV9008A, and KV9016A).
