Name your servers and select them from easy-to-use menus. Just click to select the right CPU. You can also switch via simple keyboard commands. This switch has the quick and easy switching techniques you need. In living color. Our advanced on-screen display technology is the best in the industry. The resolution is crisp and clear at 1600 x 1280. The easy-to-use easy-to-read on-screen display features a modern intuitive design with pop-up selection boxes. You have a choice of six different fonts and you can configure the screen's color scheme and select different screen savers. What's the password? Only you know. A user-defined ID and password keep prying eyes out of your network. You can also restrict user access to specific CPUs. You can even keep tabs on who is accessing your system forcing all users to enter an ID log-in and a password. An on-screen display gives helpful messages to indicate the status of your connections which can be set up in four different modes. In view mode a control station's monitor shows a CPU's activity but the keyboard and mouse are disabled and no changes can be made. In share mode the control stations gain access to CPUs on a first-come first-served basis. Once a control station relinquishes the use of a CPU a time-out period follows. After that another control station can access that particular CPU. In control mode one control station can take exclusive control of a CPU. Other stations can access the CPU but cannot control it in any way. In private mode one control station can take exclusive control over a CPU. Virtual connections. Don't worry about keyboard and mouse compatibility or system lockups. The Matrix ServSwitch gives you full keyboard and mouse emulation. Most CPUs require a keyboard to be attached in order to boot up or a mouse must be connected so the mouse driver can load properly. Not so with the Matrix ServSwitch. All versions enable simultaneous automatic booting of all connected CPUs by sensing any computer powering up and emulating the keyboard and mouse signals as if the peripherals were directly connected to each CPU. Up-to-date support and features. Flash memory enables you to download upgrades and load new firmware into the Matrix switches so you can add new features or support new equipment.
