KL1116 User Manual Notes: xiv 2005-11-04
Chapter 1. Introduction Overview The KL1116 KVM Switch is a control unit that allows access to multiple computers from a single KVM (keyboard, monitor, and mouse), console. Before the development of the Master View, the only way to control multiple computer configurations from a single console was through a complex and costly network system. Now, with the KL1116, you can easily access multiple computers in a cost effective manner. A single KL1116 can control up to 16 computers.
KL1116 User Manual available, and using the utility to quickly and conveniently perform the upgrade. Setup is fast and easy; plugging cables into their appropriate ports is all that is entailed. Because the KL1116 intercepts keyboard input directly, there is no software to configure; no need to get involved in complex installation routines; nor any need to be concerned with incompatibility problems.
Chapter 1 - Introduction Features ! Integrated KVM console with 15" or 17" LCD monitor - in a Hideaway™ housing. ! Hideaway™ housing is slightly less than 1U - with top and bottom clearance for smooth operation in a 1U high system rack. ! LCD Monitor component can slide independently of the keyboard/touchpad component ! Space saving technology - two consoles (one bus) controls up to 16 computers.
KL1116 User Manual Hardware Requirements Computers The integrated LCD monitor’s maximum resolution is 1024 x 768 (15") or 1280 x 1024 (17").
