OVERVIEW

Feature Overview

Quad-Bus Technology
Our proprietary way to enable multiple Switches to be daisy-chained together; Belkin
quad-bus KVM products let you expand up to a maximum of four consoles to
simultaneously control up to 256 computers.
CAT5 Extension Technology
This included feature lets users control their servers from up to 1000 feet away from
the Switch.
Integrated Dual-Console Support*
For simultaneous control of up to 256 computers, this gives you the capability to
connect two consoles.
IntelliView Graphical On-Screen Display (OSD)
The IntelliView feature simplifies server management by allowing you to assign
individual names to each connected server throughout the system. You can also
create groups of computers, which you can use to organize your computers.
IntelliView provides a visual means of switching between computers, checking
computer connection status; offers multilevel security; and sets the time interval for
the AutoScan function.
PS/2 & USB Mix-and-Match Keyboard
The Switch enables you to use either USB- or PS/2-type keyboards and mice to
control computers. Servers can be attached via either the computer's USB or PS/2
interfaces by using the custom ENTERPRISE Series Dual-Port KVM Cables.
AutoUpdate™
The exclusive AutoUpdate system from Belkin provides you with flash-upgrade
firmware updates for your Switch. This allows you to maintain consistent
compatibility with the latest devices and computers. Firmware updates are free for
the life of your Switch. Please visit us at belkin.com for complete update
information and support.
Video Resolution
The maximum video resolution supported by the Switch depends on the distance
between the Switch and the connected servers. At 250 feet, a 2048x1536 resolution
is achieved; at 500 feet, 1280x1024; and at 1000 feet, 800x600. Higher resolutions
may be obtained at 500 and 1000 feet with degraded video quality.
