BRIEF INTRODUCTION
Short-depth LCD KVM console control panel integrates keyboard, LCD display and touch pad in a
drawer type worktable and provides a convenient space-saving operation mode for KVM switch
technology. The cover is an LCD display, while the base is keyboard and touchpad. buckles on
the left and right are moved aside to open the cover. It can be operated once the KVM module is
pulled out. Once the operation is completed, push the KVM module back to the rack.
It is a control device integrating 15” or 17’’ LCD, 89-key keyboard, touchpad mouse and 8-port
or 16-port mixed connection KVM. You can access multiple hosts using the LCD console
while saving money and efforts.
A single LCD KVM can control up to 8 hosts, or up to 16 hosts. In addition, both have independent
cascade connection port, so 8 port consoles can be connected in series to control 512 hosts, and
16 port consoles can be connected in series to control 2048 hosts. Since LCD KVM series
supports hosts of both PS/2 and USB port, KVM cable of PS/2 or USB connector can be selected
for hosts depending on cables connecting the switcher and host.
Major features include OSD menu, password security mechanism, hotkey control and
auto-scanning. Keyboard and mouse simulation can boot computers at the same time. All hosts
connected can be accessed conveniently via OSD (On Screen Display) activated by keyboard or
through hotkey combination input. The auto-scanning feature can automatically scan and monitor
operation status of each host connected. It is simple and convenient to install the LCD KVM, just
inserting cables to corresponding ports. No installation disk or complicated installation program is
needed, and no compatibility problem exists.
LCD KVM series is the best choice to save time and efforts. Since all hosts can be controlled
from a single main control terminal, using the LCD KVM console: (1) avoids the cost of keyboard,
mouse and monitor of each host; (2) saves work space; (3) saves power; (4) saves the trouble of
moving from one computer to another.
* For Mac and Sun hosts, USB cable must be used for connection. *
