Overview
Raritan's keyboard/video/mouse (KVM) switches are engineered to provide reliable,
cost-effective, central control of multiple computers. This eliminates the cost and clutter
of unnecessary equipment, reclaims space, and improves productivity for a host of
applications.
MasterConsole II enables control of any mix of 2 to 256 computers from a single
keyboard, monitor, and mouse. MasterConsole II user interface provides simple on-
screen control and system management. Raritan's unique emulation technology
dedicates a keyboard/mouse emulator for each computer to ensure that each computer
always 'sees' its own keyboard and mouse. This means smooth, flawless switching and
operation, even when computers are running the most demanding operating systems.
