Feature Overview
Video Resolution
The SOHO KVM Switch is able to support video resolutions of up to 1920x1200 so
you can use the latest in video display technology for all your computers.
Flash Upgrade
With the firmware-upgrade feature, your investment in the KVM Switch is further
ensured and its lifetime value is maximized. You don’t have to change your
KVM Switch to solve compatibility problems since you can solve them with easy
firmware upgrades. A special upgrade cable is not needed; you can use the same
KVM cable that connects your computer.
Built-In USB 2.0 Hub
The SOHO KVM Switch features a built-in Hi-Speed USB 2.0 hub, so you can
share two USB peripheral devices, such as a printer, with all your computers.
There are two USB ports on the KVM Switch. One port is located on the back and
the other is located on the front for easier access.
Speaker/Microphone Support
The SOHO KVM Switch allows you to share one set of speakers and one
microphone with all your computers, so you won’t need to unplug and reconnect
your speakers and microphone every time you switch access from one computer
to the next.
Direct-Access Port Selectors
Direct-access port selectors, conveniently located on the front face of the SOHO
KVM Switch, allow you to easily switch access from one computer to the next. You
can change the KVM port or the audio/mic using these buttons.
Cables
All the required cables are 6 feet in length and are included in the box for easier
installation. The cables are also smaller and easier to manage.
LED Display
There are two LEDs on each button. One indicates which port the KVM is on and
the other indicates which port the audio/mic is on.

your console; and the length of the cables you use to connect your computers to
the KVM Switch.

machines that create electrical noise (e.g., vacuum cleaners).
