The CS1716A KVM switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single PS/2 or USB console (keyboard mouse and monitor). A single CS1716A can control up to 16 computers. As many as 31 additional switches can be daisy-chained to each other so that up to 512 computers can all be controlled from a single keyboard-monitor-mouse console. Additionally a front panel USB port is available for each computer to access any peripherals connected to it on a one-at-a-time basis.N/AN/AFeatures:N/A-One USB-PS/2 console controls up to 16 computersN/A-Daisy-chain up to 31 additional units - control up to 512 computers from a single consoleN/A-Front accessible USB port allows each computer to access USB peripherals*N/A-Dual Interface - supports computers and console with PS/2 or USB keyboards and miceN/A-Multiplatform support - Windows Linux Mac and SunN/A-Video DynaSync - stores the console monitor’s EDID (Extended Display Identification Data) to optimize display resolutionN/A-Supports USB keyboards for PC Mac and SunN/A-Auto PS/2 and USB interface detectionN/A-USB / PS/2 keyboard and mouse emulation - computers boot even when the console focus is elsewhereN/A-Superior video quality - up to 2048 x 1536; DDC2BN/A-No software required - convenient computer selection via front panel pushbuttons hotkeys and multilingual on-screen display (OSD) menusN/A-Auto-senses station’s position on daisy-chained installations; no need for manual dip switch setting; front panel led indicates station’s positionN/A-Port names automatically reconfigured when station sequence is changedN/A-Two level password security; only authorized users view and control computers; up to four users and an administrator with separate profiles for eachN/A-Auto Scan feature for monitoring user-selected computersN/A-Broadcast Mode - operation simultaneously performed on all selected computers… etcN/A-Hot pluggable - add or remove computers without having to power down the switchN/A-Buzzer on/off via hotkey and OSDN/A-Firmware upgrades to all the chained KVM switch at the same time via the daisy-chain cableN/A-Rack mountable in 19" system rack (1U)N/AN/A * The USB peripheral function only works with USB cable set connections.
