FEATURES
• Control up to 4, 8, or 16 PS/2®
or USB servers.
• Cascade additional ServSwitch EC units
to control even more servers.
• Switch manually or use AutoScan,
which automatically scans and selects
servers in sequential order.
OVERVIEW
Bring economical KVM switching versatility to your mixed
PS/2 and USB server environment. The ServSwitch™EC for PS/2
and USB Servers and PS/2 Consoles enables you to control as
many as 16 PS/2 or USB servers from a central location with
a PS/2 keyboard, a PS/2 mouse, and a monitor. The switch
is operating system independent and transparent to all
applications.
To add more server connections, just cascade multiple
ServSwitch EC switches—up to 136 servers in all! Use one
ServSwitch EC as the master and the others as slaves.
Only 1U high, it can fit on the desktop or you can mount
it in a rack or cabinet with the inluded brackets, providing an
efficient way to manage multiple computers in server rooms
where space is at a premium. And because the keyboard,
monitor, and mouse circuitry is concentrated in a single HD15
connector at the server end, you have fewer cables to mess
with when making your server connections. (Just be sure to
order the cable for either PS/2 or USB servers at right.)
With its graphical on-screen display (OSD) features, it’s easy
to switch between and manage connections to your servers.
You can also switch using front-panel buttons or hotkeys.
The front panel includes port LEDs, which light with the
corresponding active port when you manually switch
between servers.
Or set up the ServSwitch EC to scan and switch between
servers, one by one, with the convenient AutoScan function.
When AutoScan detects any keyboard or mouse activity,
it suspends the scanning until activity stops, then resumes
with the next computer in sequence.
You can also use the OSD interface to view connection
status on each port, lock servers from unauthorized access,
and even give names to servers for easy recognition. Edit
a server’s name entry with up to 14 characters. Nonvolatile
memory stores all name entries until you change them,
even if the unit is powered down.
The ServSwitch supports video resolutions of up to 1920 x
1440, and it’s DDC2B compatible for connections to today’s
newer digital monitors.
NOTE: When cascading multiple units, the master must have the
same number as or more ports than the slave. The ServSwitch EC
for PS/2 and USB Servers and PS/2 Consoles can be cascaded with
PS/2 only models (KV9004A, KV9008A, and KV9016A).
