Product Overview
Feature Overview
The SwitchView allows you to control multiple PCs,
easily and affordably, with just one keyboard, monitor
and mouse. There is no software to install or boards
to configure, so installation is simple. SwitchView works
with IBM PC/AT and PS/2 systems with support for
VGA and SVGA video. PS/2 keyboard and PS/2 mouse
peripherals are supported through the rear of the unit.
When you turn on your PCs, the SwitchView will boot
up each one without interruption by sending out the
proper signal to eliminate keyboard errors. PCs may be
powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. The first avail-
able channel is automatically selected upon power-up.
You can switch computer channels two ways: via the
Select button on the SwitchView front panel, or through a
short keyboard sequence if the SwitchView is out of reach.
The SwitchView supports the following additional features:
•
PS/2 mouse translation
- your PS/2 mouse will
work with any attached PC, regardless of whether
the computer is serial or PS/2 mouse compatible!
•
Extensive Mouse Support -
The SwitchView
offers full support for the Logitech MouseMan
Wheel, Logitech Trackman Marble Wheel, Logitech
Trackman Marble FX, Microsoft Explorer mouse and
the Microsoft IntelliMouse family.
•
Standard cables

standard straight-through cables to attach comput-
ers to the SwitchView unit.

your attached PCs automatically. Scan every PC for
