PLANET's KVM switches are designed to give you control of multiple
computers using just one keyboard, video display and mouse. They provide
more table and rack space in addition to saving the cost of multiple
keyboards, mice and monitors. Switch between computers by just pressing a
button or the pre-defined hotkey on the keyboard. PLANET KVM switches
are the perfect choice for home, office, server farm, or testing sites where
there is a need to manage multiple computers efficiently and easily.
PLANET's KVM switches utilize advanced microprocessor emulation to
intelligently manage each KVM port. This allows simultaneous boot-up of all
the attached computers. Caps Lock, Num Lock and Scroll Lock status can
also be saved for each computer. They support VGA, SVGA and MultiSync
monitors at up to 1920 x 1440 resolutions. Furthermore, in addition to
computers with a PS/2 interface, iMAC, Power MAC and Sun Microsystems
with only a USB port can also be connected through PLANET's USB-PS2
adapter and thus be controlled by a PS/2 keyboard and mouse.
With KVM-1600's Daisy Chain function, up to eight units (banks) can be
daisy-chained together to control up to 128 PCs with a single console. Two
buttons on the front panel allow you to quickly and easily select the switch
(bank) and port. The on-screen display (OSD) feature of KVM-1600 provides
a friendly interface for naming and selecting a specific PC, and eight character
