ATEN CS82U 2-Port PS/2-USB VGA KVM Switch
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
ATEN CS82U 2-Port PS/2-USB VGA KVM Switch - 2 Years Local Warranty
Two Computers, One Console
The CS82U lets one VGA monitor, keyboard and mouse control two computers. It is a tidy way to manage a desktop PC and a server, or two workstations, from one desk.
PS/2 or USB, Your Choice
The dual interface works with computers and consoles using either PS/2 or USB keyboards and mice, so older and newer machines can share the same console.
Easy Switching
Switch with the front-panel pushbuttons, keyboard hotkeys or the USB mouse. Auto Scan cycles through the computers at 3, 5, 10 or 20 second intervals for monitoring.
Reliable Booting and Video
Keyboard emulation keeps computers booting cleanly, and ATEN Video DynaSync stores the monitor's EDID to avoid boot-up display problems. Video up to 2048 x 1536 with DDC2B.
