Orion X KVM standard devices with USB-HID connectors support the extension of the keyboard and
mouse ONLY; use with other HID devices (Human Interface Device) such as touch screens, graphics
tablets, barcode readers or similar USB devices may be successful – but there is no guarantee for this!
The Orion™ X KVM standard device is NOT suitable for use with other USB devices such as scanners,
web-cams, data sticks etc.
Orion X KVM standard devices support only two USB-HID devices simultaneously, keyboard and mouse
or keyboard and touch-screen, etc. but not keyboard, mouse and touch-screen simultaneously. A USB
hub is allowed, but this does not increase the number of HID devices allowed..
