Overview 
 

The combination of the StreamLine console and KVM switch offers the 
latest, most efficient way to control server rooms and multiple computers.  
Four models of StreamLine KVM switches are available to control from 8 
to 136 servers by the StreamLine console or another set of console 100ft 
(30m) away; it is ideal for various applications.

With a StreamLine KVM switch, you can name your computers, switch to 
a computer from a list, configure settings with easy-to-use menus, view 
the name of the selected computer on-screen with programmable time 
interval.  The OSD  menu  displays the system status throughout 
operation.

The StreamLine KVM Switch enables you to connect computers with 
PS/2 or serial mouse ports (using adapters supplied with the KVM Switch)
