keyboard module showing each station's position for easy identification.

compact, efficient, wiring configuration, while the use of PS/2 and USB KVM
Adapter Cables to link to the computers, permits any combination of PCs,
Macs, Sun computers, and serial devices to coexist on the installation.

provided on the rear panel – permitting you to manage the switch from a local
console. There is also an external USB mouse port on the keyboard module,
