Introduction

Overview

The KVM Switch SW0206C, SW0207A, SW0407C and SW0408A are computer switches that allow access to two or four IBM compatible computers from one PS/2 keyboard, mouse and monitor. Switching between computers is as easy as pressing the push button or entering hot-key commands from your keyboard. There is no interface card and software to install and the switch is independent of the computer operating system.

Ready to run right out of the box, this kit comes with everything you need - a switch and complete cable sets, just hook them up and go. By allowing one console to manage all your computers, the SW0206C, SW0207A, SW0407C and SW0408A eliminate the expense for extra consoles, the spaces for extra peripherals and the time hopping around for accessing different computers.

SW0207A allows one microphone and speaker to be shared by two computers and SW0408A allows four.
