Overview 

  One-Console KVM Switches  

The KVM Switch allows you to access multiple computers from 

one

keyboard, mouse and monitor.  There is no interface card or 

software to configure.   Installation is as easy as connecting cables 

between the KVM Switch and your computers.  Operation is as 

simple as pressing push button, entering hot-key command and 

navigating through the user-friendly on-screen menu (available on 

models with OSD support).  Depending on the model you have, it 

switches up to 4 (KNV104), 8 (KNV108) or 16 (KNV116D) 

IBM-compatible computers.    The KVM Switch is independent of the 

computer operating system. 

  Two-Console KVM Switches 

The advanced multi-access KVM Switches enable you to control 

multiple computers from 

one out of two

 locations, remote or local 

with two keyboards, mice and monitors.  KNV2108D controls 8 

computers and KNV2116D controls 16 computers.   

  On-Screen Display (OSD) Menu   

For KNV104D, KNV108D, KNV116D   

                   KNV2108D, KNV2116D models 

For KVM Switches with built-in OSD control, 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.
