CHAPTER 2: Introduction
2.2 Features
Some of the useful features of your ServSwitch Spectra:
• You can access two IBM PC type computer CPUs
with one keyboard, monitor, and mouse.
• Smooth, safe, microprocessor-controlled keyboard
and mouse switching.
• Mouse can be any 2- or 3-button PS/2 type by
Microsoft
®
or Logitech
®
, including a PS/2 “wheel
mouse” such as the Microsoft IntelliMouse
®
.
• Support for VGA, SVGA, and XGA video at
resolutions up to 1600 x 1280 pixels, at refresh rates
up to 100 Hz (although XGA requires coaxial cables).
• It uses some of the power that the attached
computers would normally send to their keyboards,
so you don’t have to plug it into an AC outlet.
• You can select the CPU you want with your keyboard
or the button on top of the Spectra.
• Front-panel LEDs show which CPU is selected.
• The unit keeps track of the Num Lock, Caps Lock,
Scroll Lock, and keyboard-mode settings for each
CPU.
