Overview:
Black Box KV9108A KVM Switch for PS/2 and USB Servers and PS/2 Consoles, 8-Port
With the 8-port KV9108A Switch for PS/2 and USB Servers and PS/2 Consoles, you can use a PS/2 console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor) to control a number of PS/2 and/or USB servers. Switch between eight servers from a single console. To expand your switching platform to include additional servers, simply cascade units in a master-slave configuration. Cascade up to 64 servers with this 8-port model. This ServSwitch EC KVM Switch is plug-and-play, so you can add or subtract servers almost as quickly as you can plug and unplug cables.
Ideal for applications where you have a limited amount of space, the 1U-high ServSwitch EC KVM Switch works well on the desktop or mounted in a rack or cabinet. To save more space, the keyboard, monitor, and mouse circuitry is concentrated in a single HD15 connector at the server end. This way, you have fewer cables to install when making server connections.
A simple yet well-designed on-screen display makes this switch very easy to use for managing server connections. You can assign 14-character server names that make sense to you. Switch between servers using front-panel buttons or hotkeys. Or you can let the switch do it automatically with its auto-scan function. The ServSwitch EC KVM Switch will scan and switch between servers, one by one, at an interval that you determine. When auto-scan detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning until activity stops, and then resumes with the next computer in sequence.System settings and name entries are stored in non-volatile memory so you don't have to worry about a power outage wiping out your information. The KV9108A Switch also saves your keyboard settings for each server and restores them when you come back to that machine.
The front panel includes port LEDs, which light with the corresponding active port when you switch between servers. You can also use the on-screen display to view the connection status on each port and lock servers from unauthorized users.
With video enhancement technology that ensures superb quality and resolutions up to 1920 x 1440, the ServSwitch EC KVM Switch is DDC2B compatible, so it can be used with the latest digital monitors. What's more, the switch is operating-system independent and transparent to all applications.
