Product Overview
Feature Overview
The SwitchView MP allows you to control up to 4 PC, Sun or USB computers
with one keyboard, monitor and mouse. The SwitchView MP works with
Sun Workstations, USB computers, IBM PC/AT and PS/2 systems and 100%
compatible machines with support for VGA, SVGA, XGA and XGA-II video.
Sun and PS/2 keyboard and mouse peripherals are supported through the
rear of the unit.
Multiplatform
The SwitchView MP adds multiplatform capabilities to your switching system
by simultaneously supporting any combination of PS/2, Sun or USB computers
in the same system.
Plug and play
The SwitchView MP supports Plug and Play video and is compliant with the
VESA DDC2B standard.
Mouse translation
For added compatibility with your current equipment, SwitchView MP features
mouse translation capability. Operated through the SwitchView MP, your
mouse will work with any attached computer- regardless of whether the
computer is Sun, USB, serial or PS/2 mouse compatible!
“Keep Alive” feature
SwitchView MP’s “Keep Alive” feature allows attached servers to power the
unit in the event of an SwitchView MP power failure. This prevents attached
computers from locking up and keeps you from losing time and data.
AutoBoot technology
The AutoBoot feature boots all attached servers during initial power-up or
after a power failure. Computers are booted transparently without operator
intervention, and may be powered-up one-at-a-time or all at once. When the
power stabilizes, a channel may be selected.
