Black Box Servswitch Personal

Black Box Servswitch Personal ... ServSwitch lets you manage multiple PCs from one keyboard, monitor, and mouse. Plus, the Personal ServSwitch works with standard, inexpensive PC-type cables. Bottom line: The Personal ServSwitch lets you save your money for equipment you really need. Here's how it works: plug your monitor, mouse, and keyboard into the Personal ServSwitch. Then use economical extension cables to connect your IBM PC/AT or PS/2 compatible CPUs. There's no software to install or boards to configure, and no power supply to connect.

To add as many as 64 CPUs to your KVM-sharing system, you can cascade Personal ServSwitches to as many as three "layers, " using the same inexpensive cables as a regular single-unit system. Be aware, however, that the Personal ServSwitch can only be cascaded with other Personal ServSwitches. Also, you will need the optional power supply when daisy-chaining Personal ServSwitches. When you turn on your PCs, the Personal ServSwitch will perform keyboard and mouse emulation. The first available channel is automatic- ally selected at power-up. You can easily switch between CPUs using the "CPU SELECT" button on the front panel or with keyboard commands. The Personal ServSwitch's scanning feature allows you to automatically monitor, or scan, each PC automatically. If you use the keyboard during scanning, the scan will pause until you finish, then resume with the next PC. The length of time each PC's video remains on the screen can be changed at any time. The Switch will stop scanning when you send it the Halt command or select a particular PC.
