MasterConsole II Overview
Raritan's keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switches are engineered to provide reliable, cost-effective, central
control of multiple computers. This eliminates the cost and clutter of unnecessary equipment, reclaims
space, and improves productivity for a host of applications.
MasterConsole II enables control of any mix of 2 to 256 computers from a single keyboard, monitor, and
mouse. The MasterConsole II user interface provides simple on-screen control and system management.
Raritan's unique emulation technology dedicates a keyboard/mouse emulator for each computer to ensure
that each computer always 'sees' its own keyboard and mouse. This means smooth, flawless switching and
operation, even when computers are running the most demanding operating systems.
