The »DVIMUX8-OSD-USB« KVM switch
With the DVIMUX8-OSD-USB KVM switch, you can operate up to eight computers
over one console.
The console is provided with a USB keyboard, a USB mouse and a digital and/or
analog monitor. The computers connected to the KVM switch are operated at the
installed console.
You can switch between computers either by using the buttons on the front panel,
configurable key combinations or a serial device which is connected to the RS232
interface.
The front panel of the device provides two USB 2.0 interfaces to operate any USB
devices. The connected USB devices are available to the active computer.
After enabling the USB hold function (see page 53), USB devices can be perma-
nently switched to a defined computer (see page 16). The switching of USB devices
remains the same when switching the KVM channel.
