Descriptions
KVM switch is a control device which controls multiple computers from a single
console (keyboard, video and mouse), as many as 512 computers can be controlled
from the original console. There is no better way to save space, time and money than
with a KVM switch installation. By using the KVM switch to manage your installation,

cables to the right ports of the KVM.Since the KVM directly get the signal input from
the keyboard and mouse, there is no software setup or other complex installation, so

menu. Convenient auto-scan allows you to auto-scan and monitor the selected
