INTRODUCTION

A KVM control platform integrates a multiple-port KVM switch into a 1U height. It controls multiple PCs from only one platform (keyboard, mouse and monitor).

A KVM switch can control 8/16 PCs by direct connection and 256 PCs by 2 level cascade connection.

It is easy and quick to install. Just connect the wire to the correct port without software configuration. So, there is no difficulty in installation and incompatibility.

A KVM switch provides two methods to control the computers connected to it:

1. By keyboard combine key

2. By OSD operation

In addition, it provides a powerful automatic scanning function to scan and monitor all computers connected to it.

Using a KVM control platform is the best choice to save time and money. By using one KVM platform to manage all the computers connected to it, the user can save money for keyboard, mouse and monitor for each PC and their space.
