Introduction
Overview
The CS1308 / CS1316 KVM switch allows access and control up to 256
computers from a single console (keyboard, mouse, and monitor). As many as
16 additional switches can be cascaded bringing the total number of connected
computers to 256 computers that can be controlled from a single keyboard-
monitor-mouse console. Additionally, the CS1308 / CS1316 features a
compact design that allows installation in a 1U system rack.
Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is
needed. The switch supports both USB and PS/2 connections for the console
and computers. The CS1308 / CS1316 intercepts keyboard input directly, thus
eliminating the need for any software configuration. Switching between
computers can be easily accomplished either by manually pressing the front
panel push button port LEDs, entering hotkey combinations from the
keyboard, or via a menu driven multilingual on-screen display (OSD) system.
A convenient auto-scan feature permits automatic scanning and monitoring of
activities on all connected computers. Lastly, the CS1308 / CS1316 offers
benefits such as: a) managing multiple computers from a single console, b)
eliminating the expense of having to purchase a separate keyboard, monitor,
and mouse for each computer, c) space and energy costs savings, and d)
helping create a greener environment by reducing the amount of waste.
