Multi-View KVMP Switch User Manual
A Daisy Chain Control (DCC) port allows the user to connect and control up
to four Multi-View KVMP Switches via a single set of keyboard and mouse.
TM
This enables the use of only one keyboard/mouse over several computers by
switching the console keyboard and mouse focus to the monitor of each
secondary station. This is convenient for growing networks that need to
monitor and manage more computers – daisy chain up to four units and switch
between up to 16 computers/video sources. You can also choose to have all
sources displayed on one monitor by cascading, where CM1164A/CM1284
units are connected to one another via its KVM Ports. In a cascade setup, you
can control and monitor up to 16 computers (4 additional Multi-View KVMP
TM
Switches) using a single console.
Setup is fast and easy; simply plug cables into their appropriate ports. There is
no software to configure, no installation routines, and no incompatibility
problems. Since the Multi-View KVMP Switch intercepts keyboard input
TM
directly, it works on Microsoft Windows, Linux, Sun and Mac platforms.
The Multi-View KVMP Switch improves operational efficiency for a wide
TM
range of practical applications, including control rooms, monitoring systems,
and traffic control centers, as well as process control centers, server rooms,
medical industries, broadcasting, production and automation, aircraft and
vehicles. In combination with projectors, it is also used in presentations and
conference rooms. Allowing you to switch seamlessly between four PCs, and
share USB peripherals and stereo audio, the Multi-View KVMP Switch is
TM
ideal for multimedia applications, and offers the ultimate in space-saving,
streamlined KVM technology.
