Hardware Setup
Overview
For convenience and flexibility that allows mixing multiple platforms, the
CS1768 design utilizes custom USB DVI KVM cables that serve as
intermediaries between the switch and the connected computers (refer to the
installation diagram on page 17).
A separate custom USB DVI KVM cable is required for each computer
connection. The custom KVM cables are listed under
Cables , on page 4.
Consult your dealer to find out which custom KVM cables best fit your needs.
