OVERVIEW
The KS-3108 / KS-3116 8 ports/16 ports PS/2 / USB CAT5 UTP KVM (Keyboard, Video, Mouse) Switches are
control units that allow access and control of up to 8 (KS-3108) or 16 (KS-3116) computers from a single PS/2
/ USB keyboard, PS/2 / USB mouse, and monitor console.
There are two convenient methods to access any computer connected to the installation: (1) using the push
button port selection switches located on each unit’s front panel; (2) selecting from menus provided by the On
Screen Display (OSD).
Setup is fast and easy: simply plug cables into9 their appropriate ports. There is no software to configure, and
no incompatible problems. It works on multiple operating platform (PC compatible, Sun, etc.).
There is no better way to save time and money than with a KS-3108 / KS-3116 installation. Since a single
console manages all of the computers, the KS-3108 / KS-3116 setup: (1) eliminates the expense of having to
purchase a separate keyboard, monitor, and mouse for each computer; (2) saves all the space those extra
components would take up; (3) saves on energy costs; (4) eliminates the inconvenience and wasted effort
involved in constantly moving from one computer to another.
