Black Box KV9216A EC Series KVM 16-Port Switch for PS/2 or USB Servers and Consoles

With the 16-port KV9216A KVM Switch for PS/2 and USB Servers and PS/2 or USB Consoles, switch between 16 servers from a single console. To expand your switching platform to include additional servers, simply cascade units in a master-slave configuration. Cascade up to 136 servers . The switch is plug-and-play, so you can add or subtract servers almost as quickly as you can plug and unplug cables.

The KV9216A is ideal for applications where you have a limited amount of space as it can be used on the desktop or mounted in a rack or cabinet. Brackets are included. To save more space, the keyboard, monitor, and mouse circuitry is concentrated in a single HD15 connector at the server end. This way, you have fewer cables to install when making server connections.

A simple yet well-designed on-screen display makes this switch very easy to use for managing server connections. You can assign 14-character server names that make sense to you. Switch between servers using front-panel buttons or hotkeys. Or you can let the switch do it automatically with its auto-scan function. The ServSwitch EC KVM Switch will scan and switch between servers, one by one, at an interval that you determine. When an auto scan detects any keyboard or mouse activity, it suspends the scanning until activity stops, and then resumes with the next computer in sequence. System settings and name entries are stored in non-volatile memory so you don't have to worry about a power outage wiping out your information. The KV9216A also saves your keyboard settings for each server and restores them when you come back to that machine.

The front panel includes port LEDs, which light with the corresponding active port when you switch between servers. You can also use the on-screen display to view the connection status on each port and lock servers from unauthorized users.

With video enhancement technology that ensures superb quality and resolutions up to 1920 x 1440, this ServSwitch EC KVM Switch is DDC2B compatible, so it can be used with the latest digital monitors. What's more, the switch is operating-system independent and transparent to all applications.
