2- AND 4-PORT SERVSWITCH DT PRO II
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The 2- or 4-Port ServSwitch
DT Pro II KVM Switch is the most comprehensive
desktop switch to date. It’s flexible: Use it to connect a PS/2 keyboard, video, and
mouse to PS/2 CPUs, USB KVM to PS/2 CPUs, PS/2 KVM to USB CPUs, or USB
KVM to USB CPUs. Supported mice include Microsoft
®
IntelliMouse
®
and other
mice, and the ServSwitch unit’s USB ports comply with USB 2.0 requirements.
Plus, you can connect audio and USB 2.0 peripherals to the KVM switch.
Using a hotkey command sequence (see Section 4.3), you can asynchronously
switch the KVM control and the USB devices. And the ServSwitch works with
common operating systems, including Windows 98/Me/2000/XP, Windows NT
®
,
Linux, Novell
®
NetWare, and Mac OS.
Setup is fast and simple, and there’s no software to configure. Its small desktop
footprint is ideal for on or under your desktop. Use either front-panel buttons on
the ServSwitch or hotkeys (which are key sequences on your keyboard) to select
ports or start AutoScan. The front-panel buttons include integral LEDs. The LED
will light with the corresponding active port when manually switching between the
computers. The ServSwitch beeps to confirm that it’s in hotkey mode. The
AutoScan function enables you to automatically scan and monitor all computers,
one by one, that are connected to the ServSwitch.
