Page 11: Chapter 1 Introduction
Chapter 1 Introduction Overview The KL1116 KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single KVM (keyboard, monitor, and mouse), console. Before the development of the Master View, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system. - Page 12 KL1116 User Manual Access to any computer connected to the installation is easily accomplished either by means of a powerful, mouse driven, OSD (On Screen Display) menu system, or by entering Hotkey combinations from the keyboard. A convenient Auto Scan feature also permits automatic scanning and monitoring of the activities of all computers running on the installation one by one.
